Valencia has a lot to offer tourists. However, tourists often do not have much time. If this is your case, don’t worry: We have prepared the best route to see Valencia in 3 days. Check out!
First day: Historic center of the city of Valencia
The first day you spend in Valencia you should visit the historic center of the city. You have a lot to see, so you will have to choose and prepare to spend the whole day from top to bottom.
These are some of the options you can visit:
- North Station: First of all, you can consider visiting the North Station. This is the most used railway station in Valencia, with more than 15 million users a year. Plus, she’s gorgeous.
- Plaza del Ayuntamiento: the Plaza del Ayuntamiento is always full of life and there are several imposing and very beautiful buildings. In addition, it is a good place to see some of the most varied shops.
- National Ceramics Museum: The National Ceramics Museum is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Valencian industry, especially in an area as seemingly unknown as ceramics.
- Plaza Redonda: Plaza Redonda is a very pretty and charming square inside a block of flats. It is an excellent square to relax and see some of the most traditional little shops.
- Central Market of Valencia: the Central Market of Valencia is one of the largest in Europe when it comes to fresh produce. It has also been listed as one of the most beautiful internationally.
- Lonja de la Seda: an impressive building with European civil Gothic style. A wonder of the fifteenth century that perfectly represents the Valencian golden age.
- Church of Santa Catalina: the Church of Santa Catalina (and its imposing tower) is a Gothic-style temple of great beauty. You should not forget to visit it.
- Plaza de la Reina: in Plaza de la Reina you will find, in addition to the square itself (which is beautiful), the Cathedral of Santa María and the Miguelete. All three are impressive works, so it’s a must see. 3 in 1!
- Plaza de la Virgen: Plaza de la Virgen is another great square in the city that you should not forget to visit. It has a multitude of cafes and terraces where you can see the perfect mix between tourists and native Valencians.
- Gates of the Wall: Two gates of the old wall of Valencia are still standing. They are worth visiting, because they have an imposing appearance and are a key piece of the city’s history. If you have time, don’t miss out on visiting them.
Second day: City of Arts, Oceanographic and the Fallas Museum
On the second day, you can visit the City of Arts, the Oceanographic and the Fallas Museum:
- City of Arts: the City of Arts and Sciences is one of the best-known places in Valencia, despite not being excessively old. If you want to visit amazing buildings, this is a must see.
- Oceanographic: the Oceanographic of Valencia is one of the largest and most important in the world. It is a must for anyone who spends a few days in Valencia (even if they are few).
- Fallas Museum: finally, you can take the opportunity to visit the Fallas Museum and learn more about the traditional Valencian festival. After all, Valencia is world-renowned for this party… What less to learn about it while you are in the city!
Third day: La Marina de València and Paseo de la Malvarrosa
Finally, on the third day, you can visit the Valencia Marina and the Malvarrosa promenade:
- Marina de Valencia: the Marina de Valencia is one of the best places to party in all of Valencia. That is why we reserve it for the last day, because, if you go one of the first days, it is likely that you will have a hangover and you will not be able to take advantage of the next two days. But, be that as it may, you cannot stay without visiting it.
- Paseo de la Malvarrosa: and, finally, you can take the opportunity to take a walk along the Paseo de la Malvarrosa, the most emblematic beach in Valencia. If you want to go to the beach, by the way, you have other better options not far away. But, if what you want is to walk and feel the Mediterranean, this walk is excellent.
As you can see, it is possible to see Valencia in 3 days. Of course, there will be many things that will be left out. Valuable things that you should visit another day, with more time. But, with three days, you already have enough time to discover enough of this wonderful city.
