You’re in Valencia, you’ve got the afternoon off, and the same old question pops into your head:
What shall we do now?
You open Instagram. You search on Google. You have a look at some event profiles. You ask the WhatsApp group. When you finally find something interesting, it turns out it was yesterday.
It has just arrived precisely to resolve that situation WannaNow, a new app created in Valencia to find out what’s going on in the city in real time and near you.
The app was launched in October 2026 and is now available free of charge for both iPhone or Android.
And yes: Valencia&Go is now also part of WannaNow.
What is WannaNow?
WannaNow It’s a free app created in Valencia that shows you on a map what’s happening right now near you: concerts, street markets, exhibitions, after-work drinks or family outings. Available on iPhone and Android → https://wannanow.app/
The idea is quite simple: instead of searching through different websites, event calendars and social media, you open a map and you can see what’s happening near you at that moment.
Concerts, exhibitions, street markets, activities, food and drink, sport, after-work outings, shows and family-friendly activities are shown on a map so you can decide what to do depending on where you are and how much time you have.
It’s not so much designed for planning a trip three months in advance as for those moments when you’ve got a few hours to spare and want to find something to do.
Something that happens quite often, whether you live in Valencia or are just visiting the city.
NOW: just what’s happening right now
Here’s one of the features that really makes the app worthwhile.
When you activate NOW, the map shows only the events taking place at that moment and the venues that remain open.
This way, you can avoid one of the most common problems when looking for things to do online: finding an interesting event and realising two minutes later that it finished three hours ago.
WannaNow also has a calendar for checking upcoming dates, but what really sets it apart is its immediacy.
FREE: when you want to do something without spending any money
Another particularly useful feature is the filter FREE.
When enabled, the map shows only free plans.
It can be used to find everything from exhibitions and cultural activities to street markets, concerts or one-off events taking place nearby.
An interesting option if you’re travelling on a tight budget, are an Erasmus student or simply don’t want to have to get your card out every time you make travel plans.
Valencia&Go is now on WannaNow
Another new feature is that Valencia&Go’s plans and experiences are now available within the app.
WannaNow currently offers a range of options, such as day trips to Utiel-Requena, visits to the Albufera, the Art and Architecture Tour or special seasonal experiences.
To find them, simply use the app’s search function and type ValenciaandGo.
The idea is for our tours to appear as just another option amongst all the things going on in Valencia: perhaps you’re looking for something to do tomorrow, you spot a short break that takes your fancy, and you can check the details and available dates straight from there.
Furthermore, WannaNow currently has the code WANNA10, with a 10 per cent discount on Valencia&Go bookings made through this partnership.
