About this experience
Learn as much as possible about Valencia in a short amount of time! You will see the Serranos Towers, the Cathedral, and a modern market. Explore the City of Arts and Sciences - a modern architectural complex. I will tell you which dish in Valencia is the most popular (spoiler - it's not paella) and which city museums are a must-visit.
What to expect
City of Arts and Sciences
Designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, whose creations can be seen in many countries - from the USA to Europe. You will see how his neo-futuristic projects were influenced by the works of other geniuses - Le Corbusier and Antoni Gaudí. And you will learn not only about the positives but also the negative aspects of his work.
Historic Center
We will start the tour from the Serranos Towers - a symbol of Valencia. You will see the eclectic Cathedral, which was built over many centuries. The Basilica where the figure of the Virgin Mary is located, linked to the first psychiatric hospital in the world. And also - the Gothic Silk Exchange, the Church of St. John, the central market in modern style. And this is not a complete list!
City from an Insider's Perspective
I will talk about Valencian cuisine, local festivals, and traditions. You will be surprised to learn that the number one dish in Valencia is not paella! I will share where you can try the authentic and refreshing horchata (of course, without sugar!). And also recommend which museums to visit in the city and where to have a delicious lunch.
