Large and diverse, it offers everything from historic sites and impressive architecture to modern art galleries and many world-class beaches on the Mediterranean coast.

City facts

Like much of the rest of Spain, Valencia enjoys a subtropical Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers. The average temperature in August, the hottest month, is 30°C (86°F), while the average temperature in January is 12°C (53°F).
Valencia is one of the food capitals of Spain. It is the birthplace of paella, and many of the best seafood restaurants in Europe can be found here. Other local specialties include arròs negre (black rice), tapas, and tortilla de papas, or the Spanish omelet.

Top destinations and activities

City of Arts and Science. The architectural complex is often called the most famous modern attraction in Spain. It includes a number of futuristic buildings, like the L’Hemisferic planetarium and laser show, the Prince Felipe Museum of Science, L’Umbracle landscape garden, El Palau de los Arts opera house, and many more.
L'Oceanogràfic oceanographic park is also part of the City of Arts and Science but is worth mentioning on its own. One of the largest and most unique oceanariums in the world, it is a place to dive with sharks, walk through a shark tunnel, see the dolphinarium, as well as to learn about the different marine ecosystems of the planet. Children love this place, but even if you’re not traveling with kids, it’s undoubtedly one of the highlights of any visit to Valencia.
Catedral de Santa María de València. Also known as La Seu or simply Valencia Cathedral, it is one of the most impressive Gothic churches in Spain. First built as a Roman temple, it was then rebuilt into a Christian place of worship by the Visigoths and then also temporarily turned into a mosque by the Moors. The cathedral is also famous for its many medieval and renaissance paintings.
Fine Arts Museum. Able to hold its own against its counterparts in Barcelona and Madrid, the Fine Art Museum of Valencia is one of the finest in the country. Exhibits include works by the most famous Spanish artists, such as Velasquez and El Greco, as well as famous foreigners like Bosch and van Goyen. This is one of the many things you can do in winter in Valencia.
Lonja de la Seda. A great example of the so-called Valencian Gothic style, Lonja (or Llotja) is one of the most interesting buildings in the city. Dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, it used to host a marine merchant tribunal and fulfilled several other functions related to trade and business. The building has a beautiful courtyard known as the Orange Garden.

Traffic and parking

Speed limits - 30km/h (17 mph) in built-up areas for roads with one lane in each direction, 20km/h (12 mph) on streets shared with pedestrians, 50 km/h (31 mph) on urban streets with two lanes in each direction 90km/h (56mph) on most standard roads, 100km/h (62mph) on standard roads that are either one-way roads, roads with more than two lanes for at least one direction of traffic and roads with shoulders more than 1.5m wide, and 120km/h (74mph) on motorways (called autovías in Spain).
Like in other large cities in Europe, finding a good parking spot can be hard in Valencia. A better alternative than spending hours trying to find a spot in the very city center is to keep your car just outside the downtown boundaries in one of the large paid parking lots or garages. The prices depend on the season and time but are generally quite reasonable.
The car’s registration and insurance documents must be in it at all times.
The driver and all passengers are required to wear seatbelts.
Children up to the age of 12 and measuring less than 135cm traveling in the front seat of a car must be seated in a child restraint system adapted to their size and weight.
Unnecessary use of audible warning devices (horns) is prohibited.
The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05% for experienced drivers and 0.02% for novice drivers.
The emergency number is 112.

Toll roads

Most of the roads in Spain are toll-free. Toll roads are called ‘carretera de peaje’. On maps and road signs, all toll roads have to include a letter P after the road type. The available methods of payment may vary depending on the road, but most will accept cash. Regardless of the region, the average estimated price is €9.5 ($11.25) per 100km. See the official website for prices and more information.

Ideas for day trips

Platja de Les Arenes. The beautiful promenade area that’s located north of the city’s port might be considered a little crowded by some, but for most, it is the most active and fun part of the Valencia area. Beach bars, public events, and opportunities for watersports abound, and the sunsets are simply breathtaking. Another must-visit place if you’re in the city.
Xativa. Most famous for its castle, Xativa is a great town to explore. Visit the castle on the hill, whose foundations date back to Roman times, though most of what you see was built in the Middle Ages. Afterward, wander around the quaint village and enjoy some tapas and a drink. You can reach Xativa in just under an hour from Valencia.
Albufera National Park. Located just 11km (6.8 miles) south of Valencia, the peaceful Albufera might as well be on a different planet. Once a lagoon of the Mediterranean, its canals and streams have turned freshwater over centuries and now support a surprisingly varied ecosystem of flora and fauna. Park your rental car at the park’s entrance and go on a hike, try spotting some of the local birds, and enjoy a tranquil day outdoors.
El Puig. Valencia is home to many famous Gothic buildings, but very few of them can match the Monastery of Santa Maria in the nearby town of El Puig. Standing for more than 700 years, it is just a 25-minute drive north of Valencia. There are other impressive buildings here as well. If you’re visiting at the right time, you might be able to join one of the town’s several festivals.

Most popular cars

The most popular rental car in Valencia is the Fiat 500, followed by the Renault Clio and the Fiat Panda. The most popular rental car types are the mini, economy, and intermediate classes.

Further destinations

Murcia. The Region of Murcia is perhaps underrated compared to other jewels of Spain, but that shouldn’t stop you from visiting. Its beaches are less crowded (but no less spectacular) than those of the Valencian Community, its culture and cuisine is a unique mix, and the ancient city of Cartagena has been home to different civilizations since before Christ. It’s close, too - Cartagena is just a three-hour drive down the coast from Valencia and the city of Murcia, the regional capital, is even closer. If there’s still an undiscovered travel destination remaining in Spain, Murcia is it.
Andalusia. It’s easy to see Spain’s largest region like a country of its own. From fun, stunning beaches around Malaga and Cadiz to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and from vast national parks to timeless cities like Seville, Granada, and Cordoba, the province really seems to have it all. Deservedly famous for flamenco, bullfighting, and Moorish architecture, Andalusia is so much more than just that. Granada is 480km (298 miles) southeast of Valencia, a distance that’s possible to drive in five hours.
Barcelona. Spain’s second largest city and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, Barcelona is always changing. The stunning coastline, the beautifully haunting architecture of Gaudí, and the fun crowds of La Rambla are constants. But this city keeps finding new ways to surprise you, whether it’s all the culture and art activities that are always going on or simply those unique adventures that you’re simply bound to have if you travel here. From Valencia, Barcelona is just a three-and-a-half hour long, scenic drive north along the coast.
Madrid. Bursting with life, elegance, and things to do, the capital city is a must-see on any trip to Spain. Marvel at the beautiful architecture in plazas like Plaza Mayor, Puerto del Sol, and Plaza de Espana. Don’t miss Europe’s largest and possibly most opulent royal palace and museum, the Palacio Real de Madrid. If you’re an art lover, check out the world-class Museo del Prado, where you can admire works by Velazquez, Goya, Rubens, Bosch, and many other famous artists. In the day, stroll through the charming streets and relax at a cafe in the great Malasana neighborhood, and in the evening, discover the nightlife of the neighborhood by tasting the amazing Spanish wine and tapas at the local restaurants and bars. Madrid is just under a four-hour drive from Valencia.

What travel writers say

Spain’s third-largest city has a thriving cultural scene. The birthplace of paella and oh-so-many places to sample the real deal cooked over a fire, this is place has a perfect balance. With all of the cosmopolitan culture of Barcelona and Madrid without the crowds, it’s a dream for a laidback city break. Eat, drink, party, explore, and then explore the wider region. Like much of Spain, Valencia is well connected by the local train network so it’s easy to city hop and plan a diverse range of day trips.

Lonja de la Seda is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important symbols of Valencia’s wealthy past, much of which was built from the trade of silk. Entrance is €2. Pay the extra €3 for the audio guide to learn about the building and a bit about Valencia’s past.

The car that we were given was very recent and it had many up-to-date features that we never expected to get. It was a great value car. The roads in Spain were wider lanes than the one in Italy so we were happy about that. We chose to drive to Madrid from Valencia and then we went South to Gibraltar and up the coast line back to Valencia putting on about 2700 km. It was a great choice in both the car rental and the destinations that we chose. Allacante and Nerju was our favourites.
