An essential guide to the thriving port city of Valencia, the city of Arts and Sciences, and a place where paella first simmered over a wood fire. It’s a vibrant, friendly, mildly chaotic place situated on the banks of the Turia River, backing up the front of Gulf of Valencia. It’s a city that has everything – tourists can stroll around the town enjoying the world class attractions, enjoy relaxing on the beach, taste delicious cuisines, feel the adrenaline boost while enjoying the sporting activities or go on a shopping spree. With so many things to do it’s nearly impossible to narrow down the list of reasons to visit Valencia.
