Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias
Tourist site - Includes, among others, the Oceanografic (impressive aquarium). Great to rent a bike and go here by the river (it's a river in name only, now it's a public park)
Catedral de Valencia and Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados
Did you know that the Gothic-style cathedral of the city houses The Holy Grail? You can also get great views climbing to the top of the Miguelete tower. Next to the Cathedral and by Plaza de la Reina you will also find the Basilica, which houses the 'Virgen de los Desamparados', the patron of the city
El Carmen
El Carmen is a great neighbourhood to explore in the old town close to the Cathedral. Would recommend visiting Church of San Nicolás de Bari and San Pedro Mártir which is beautiful inside. You can also find the last standing medieval entrances to the city here.
Mercat Central
The largest market with fresh produce in Europe which also has lunch and dinner spots inside. We'd recommend "Central Bar", and anything you order will be amazing.
Mercado de Colon
A mercado with some nicer restaurant options in the city centre. They also have a cafe that sells Horchata, a valencian tiger milk drink that you order with fartons.
La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia
A gothic Unesco World Heritage Site located beside Mercat Central. The tour is really interesting if you want to learn more about the history of Valencia.
Russafa
Ruzafa is a hipster part of Valencia where you'll find lovely boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There's a great vibe throughout the whole neighbourhood.
