How to spend 1 day in Valencia?

City Of The Arts And Sciences

A vision during the day as well as night, from afar and from inside, City Of The Arts And Sciences is a must visit if you are in the city for just a day. Located along the banks of River Turia, the complex houses close to eight buildings. Each one more special than the other, this City has a planetarium, a museum, galleries, an open-air oceanographic park, and a sports complex, to name a few.

Oceanografic

L'Oceanogràfic, the open-air oceanographic park located in the City, is another site worth a visit. Known to be the largest park of its kind, it is home to a number of marine animals. Sharks, dolphins, sea lions, penguins are only some of the exotic creatures that you will get to learn about here. The park has 10 divisions, each one representing a different part of the world.

Valencia Museum Of Fine Arts

Set in St. Pius V Palace which is in itself an art piece, Valencia Museum Of Fine Arts displays famous artists’ artworks that date back to the 14th century. Displaying around 2,000 paintings and works, it showcases artists like Diego Velázquez, Gonzalo Pérez, El Greco, and the famous Italian Renaissance pioneer, Pinturicchio.

Torres De Serranos

A famous part of Valencia’s history is its Christian Wall. Built towards the end of the 14th century, it is still standing tall. An interesting feature of this wall are its twelve gates. And marking the twelfth, and one of the most spectacular one, is Torres De Serranos. Often claimed to be one of the best-preserved structure and monument in Valencia, it is a significant landmark of the city.

St Mary's Cathedral

One of the oldest churches in this region, the construction of St Mary's Cathedral began in the 13th century. While the process took too long, and the cathedral was completed sometime in the 15th century, it is, as a result, a monument that displays a number of different architectural styles and designs like Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque, Valencian Gothic, and Neoclassical. A spectacular picture to observe, add this church to your Valencia Itinerary- 1 Day!
