When we talk about Valencia, many people automatically think of beaches<\/strong>, paella<\/strong>, faults <\/strong>and the City of Arts and Sciences<\/strong>.

<\/p>\n

From record-breaking buildings to century-old institutions that are still active today, we tell you about 10 curiosities that will make you look at Valencia with different eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Probably the most internationally famous part of the city.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is a huge complex of a total of 7 buildings<\/strong>, It is located in a park on the River Turia, full of open-air green areas where you can stroll, sunbathe and enjoy Valencia's climate, and is dedicated to artistic events of all kinds: the Science Museum, l'Umbracle, l'Hemisf\u00e8ric, l'Oceanogr\u00e0fic, l'Assut de l'Or Bridge, l'\u00c1gora and the Reina Sof\u00eda Palace, and is located in the same park as the River Turia, full of open-air green areas where you can stroll, sunbathe and enjoy Valencia's climate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each one can be visited and represents something from nature or something very Valencian (an eye, the skeleton of a whale, the Mediterranean Sea...).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To visit this huge complex we recommend you to book at least a day and a half in your visit to Valencia and buy your tickets in advance online.<\/p>\n

Getting there is very easy but our recommendation is always to take a leisurely stroll from the Serranos Towers (30 minutes) to contemplate the huge old bed of the river T\u00faria and to see the buildings of the city from another perspective.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can also take bus numbers 95, 1, 25, 6, 35, 13, 19 and 14.<\/p>\n
