OK, fine. Excelencia is a made-up word, but Valencia is not. However, Valencia is Excelencia in every way and more. Get it? Have you been to Valencia, Spain? If not, perhaps we can temp you: you’ll thank us later. Valencia is a vibrant city that offers a complete blend of history, culture, and modern living. You’ll likely fall in love with it. Here’s why it’s a fantastic place to visit. Let’s start with a little walk around Valencia itself, shall we? It’s a non-stop city that offers a complete blend of history, culture, and modern living. That’s why it’s a fantastic place to visit, especially since we have a tour option for you. Certainly a huge draw to Valencia is that you can enjoy the Mediterranean sun on the city’s expansive and beautiful beaches, which are surprisingly close to the city center. Being a European city, it’s simple to get around.
One obvious, but must see, treats is the City of Arts and Sciences. This iconic complex is a landmark, featuring impressive architecture, science museums, and an oceanographic aquarium. And what a setting it is, too. Once you’ve gotten your fill of the modern, then explore the old town with its narrow streets, charming squares, and historical landmarks.
If you’re the outdoorsy type, enjoy the year-round pleasant climate with cycling, running, or simply relaxing in the Turia Gardens. We’ve only just scratched the surface here, so why not treat yourself with a tour, courtesy of our affiliate friends, Titan Travel. Click here to book
As part of the tour, you’ll have a whole week in the city, which will give you plenty of time to take it all in, stepping back in time in the twisting alleys of the Old Town, striding into the future in the City of Arts and Science complex, breathing its essence in bustling food markets and relishing its spirit in zesty cocktails. We’ll cruise across the silent waters of Albufera lagoon, wonder at what may – or may not – be the original Holy Grail and master the art of paella making, so we can recreate the flavour of Valencia back home.
