<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve chosen a central apartment, your first stop is just a few steps away: Plaza de la Virgen. Surrounded by the Cathedral, the Basilica of the Virgin of the Forsaken and the Palace of the Generalitat, it\u2019s a place where the city reveals its true essence.<\/p>\n
Nearby, you\u2019ll find the Cathedral and the famous Miguelete, a bell tower steeped in history and a true symbol of Valencia. The perfect plan is to stroll through the El Carmen neighbourhood, with its graffiti, bars and lively squares.<\/p>\n
The advantage of staying in a central apartment, such as those from SingularStays, is being able to walk everywhere and return at any time to rest, drop off shopping bags or grab a drink before heading back out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Turia Gardens are another stop you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n
