Itinerary

1. Valencia Highlights Private Tour

   • When they stop in Valencia, cruise passengers or even some others have many things to see but not enough time! You will be able to cover only the Highlights of Valencia for 4 hours to get an overview. You can cover the 2 most important sightseeing areas in town: The City of Arts and Sciences and the Historical center. 

   • Some of the monuments you will see on a 4-hour tour:

     • City of Arts and Science (avant-garde buildings designed by Santiago Calatrava) - A cultural and architectural complex in Valencia.

     • Cathedral - The Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia, alternatively known as Saint Mary's Cathedral or Valencia Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Valencia.

     • Basílica - houses the shrine of the Virgen de los Desamparados, the patron saint of Valencia.

     • Plaza de la Reina - In the heart of Valencia’s Old Town. This pretty square is home to historic city architecture, seasonal handicraft markets, and many cafés and restaurants, most with outdoor seating areas. The square is the unofficial starting point of the city of Valencia.

     • Plaza de la Virgen - On the site of the ancient Roman forum; it contains a very beautiful fountain and is bordered by the cathedral, the Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados , the Palacio de la Generalidad and the Casa Vestuario.

     • La Lonja de la Seda (silk exchange market) - A late Valencian Gothic-style civil building in Valencia.

     • The City Hall - The Modernisme Plaza of the City Hall of Valencia was the transformation of the square of the City Hall of Valencia by Javier Goerlich in 1931; now in its site is the current Plaza of the City Hall and its fountain.
