Thinking of escaping for a few days to the Mediterranean and enjoying the good weather? Put Valencia on your list.<\/p>\n\n

A city with character, soul, and the perfect balance between culture, sea, and life.<\/p>\n\n

Here we share the best plans to visit Valencia in summer and make sure your experience is unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n

Stroll through the city centre on foot<\/h2>\n\n

The best way to start any trip is by feeling the rhythm of the city from within. And Valencia is no exception.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Explore the old town from the Plaza de la Virgen, wander through the Carmen neighbourhood, and enjoy the contrast between the historic and the urban: bustling terraces, open markets, and the unique blend of classic and modern that you can only breathe in here.<\/p>\n\n

You can visit the Lonja de la Seda, the Central Market, or climb the Micalet tower, but we\u2019ll warn you: the charm of Valencia isn\u2019t only in its monuments, it\u2019s in how life is lived on the streets. So, take your time, walk without a map, and let the city surprise you.<\/p>\n\n

Enjoy the beach like a true Valencian<\/h2>\n\n

Going to the beach in Valencia isn\u2019t just about lying in the sun. It\u2019s part of daily life, and that shows in how it\u2019s enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n

La Malvarrosa and Las Arenas beaches are just a few minutes from the centre, perfect for spending the morning or watching the sunset with an ice cream in hand. And if you\u2019re after a bit more space, Patacona is also a great option, with good beach bars to grab a bite after a swim.<\/p>\n\n

Just remember to bring sunscreen, some water, and a large towel. The summer heat here can be intense, so it\u2019s best to be prepared to enjoy it properly.<\/p>\n\n

Turia Gardens, the city’s green lung<\/h2>\n\n

What was once a river is now a garden that crosses Valencia from end to end. The Turia Gardens are perfect for a stroll, renting a bike, or simply sitting in the shade and watching life go by. It\u2019s one of those places that makes you want to stay a bit longer.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

It also connects key spots like the City of Arts and Sciences and the Bioparc, making it not only a pleasant but also a practical route. If you\u2019re travelling with family, there are playgrounds every few metres, and if you\u2019re with a partner or friends, it\u2019s the perfect plan for chatting, relaxing, and recharging.<\/p>\n\n

Afternoon drinks and terraces, from vermouth to your first drink<\/h2>\n\n

Summer in Valencia calls for terraces. And if they come with a good tapa and something refreshing, even better. The Ruzafa neighbourhood is the perfect place to start: bars with personality, different proposals, and lots of atmosphere from mid-afternoon onwards. Here, the locals mix with those who come to discover the area, creating a very special energy.<\/p>\n\n

If you like the afternoon vibe, start with a beer or vermouth and let the afternoon flow. Finish up on a terrace with a view (without falling into the typical tourist traps) or take a stroll around the surroundings. And if the night stretches on, that\u2019s fine too.<\/p>\n\n

City of Arts and Sciences<\/h2>\n\n

Alright, you\u2019ll see this place in every guide, but there must be a reason for that. The City of Arts and Sciences is impressive, both from the outside and for what you can do inside.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The Oceanografic is one of Europe\u2019s largest aquariums, the Science Museum is perfect if you enjoy interactive exhibits, and the Hemisferic, with its 3D projections, never disappoints.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s best to reserve at least a couple of hours to explore at your own pace. And if it\u2019s really hot, you can take advantage of the indoors to cool down for a while.<\/p>\n\n

Also, if you feel like it, the outdoor areas are perfect for some great photos, especially in the evening.<\/p>\n\n

Dine well and take your time in the city centre or Ruzafa<\/h2>\n\n

When the sun sets, Valencia transforms. If you like dining without watching the clock, the city centre or Ruzafa are two great areas to explore. There\u2019s something for everyone: places with modern cuisine, bars with traditional dishes, and others offering more daring proposals.<\/p>\n\n

The key is not to fall for the tourist traps. Ask around, compare, and choose based on what you\u2019re in the mood for that day. The idea is to enjoy it without complications, sit down hungry and ready to have a good time. Here are some of our favourite spots:<\/p>\n\n
