Is The Valencia Tourist Card Worth It? (Guide To Pros And Cons)

Wondering whether to buy a Valencia Tourist Card for your city break? Find out what’s included and whether it’s worth it in this informative guide.

If you’ve been following my blog recently, you’ll have seen I fell head over heels in love with the city of Valencia in Spain. It’s a beautiful city, filled with history, great restaurants and quirky architecture. It’s perfect for a sunshine-filled getaway, particularly with its huge beach just a short bus ride from the city centre.

Before visiting, I ordered a Valencia Tourist Card . There are options of cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days.

The card includes free public transport within the city centre, complimentary entry or discounts at the key attractions, museums and restaurants, plus a few other freebies too – including tapas and drinks.

I’ll admit that part of my reason for wanting it was the ease of getting around. It covers journeys to and from Valencia Airport, as well as journeys within the city and down to the beach.

So time to give an honest account of what I thought of it, how it works, whether I’d recommend it and how to order one if you’re visiting the city soon.

Planning your trip to Valencia? Here are a few quick highlights:

What is the Valencia Tourist Card?

This special card includes all public transport within the city, as well as to the beach and airport. There’s a mammoth list of attractions it’s valid at, offering free entry or discounted tickets. You can buy cards for different durations, depending on how long you’ll be visiting for. There are cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days.

If you’re flying to Valencia I’d recommend ordering a card online in advance, then collecting at the airport. You just need your order number and email address to pick it up.

Alternatively, you can collect it from the tourist office within City Hall, or have it delivered to your hotel. Kids aged 6-12, over-65s and students can get a 15% discount off, but you’ll have to go to the tourist office to buy the card.

How much is a Valencia Tourist Card?

As mentioned, there are cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days. The prices are as follows:

24-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 15 EUR

48-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 20 EUR

72-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 25 EUR

7 day Valencia Tourist Card (without transport): 12 EUR

I usually buy things like this using Get Your Guide – a tour booking website I’ve used lots on my travels, and wholeheartedly trust. I took a few tours with them during my trip to Valencia, including a historical walking tour and a food tour , and they were fab. They occasionally offer discounts if you book via them too!

What attractions are included for free with the Valencia Tourist Card?

There are quite a few that are free with the card, including…

Lonja de la Seda – Valencia’s ancient silk exchange

Museo de Historia – Valencia’s history museum

Museo Fallero – Museum dedicated to Valencia’s famous Fallas Festival

Torres de Serranos and Torres de Quart – Old city gates (great views!)

Museo de Ciencias Naturales – Museum of natural sciences

Museo de la Ciudad – City museum

Museo del Arroz – Rice museum

L’Almoina – Archaeology museum

Without the card, most have an entry fee of around 2 EUR. It’s not much, but if you’re thinking of visiting quite a few during your visit, the tourist card will be more economic way to see the icity. You can see the full list of Valencia tourist card attractions here .

Which attractions can I get discounts at with the Valencia Tourist Card?  

While there are plenty that are included complimentary, if the attraction isn’t on that list, it’s still likely to be offered at a discounted price with the card. I’ve picked out a few highlights but there are absolutely loads more!

15% off Museu de les Ciències (Valencia Science Museum)

15% off Oceanogràfic (Valencia Aquarium)

15% off Hemisfèric (Valencia IMAX Cinema)

15% off Bioparc (Valencia Zoo)

10% off Valencia Cathedral

10% off Jardín Botánico (Valencia Botanical Gardens)

It’s also worth checking out some of the discounts on rentals in the city too. For example, you can use the card to get 20% off renting a bike in the city, or 10% off jet-ski rental on Malvarrosa Beach.

Can I use my Valencia Tourist Card on any tours?

Yes! I think this is a really great perk of the card. From a discount on the tourist bus (yay for hop on, hop off life!), to bike tours, a nosey around Valencia Football Club and even a paella cooking class, there are lots of little extras that are included with the card. You’ll need to check timings as many of them only run on certain days of the week, and then book your spot in advance.

Here are a few tours that caught my eye…

20% off 4-hour Valencia Family Tour

15% off bike tours

10% off Guided tour of Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía

10% off Mestalla Forever Tour (Valencia Football Club)

10% off paella workshops

2 EUR off València Bus Turístic (hop on, hop off)

10% off Albufera Experience (jeep and boat trip)

10% off sunset sailing trip from Malvarrosa Beach

What about food and drink?

Eating out on holiday can really add up, so it’s worth making use of the discounts on offer at the city’s restaurants and bars. Some of the discounts are 15-20% so it can make a big difference to your bill.

You can use the card at Café de las Horas, Terraza L’Umbracle, El Camarote & the Roof, Casa Isabel, Ocho y Medio, Restaurante Océanos, Ubik Café, La Cigrona and the Hard Rock Café amongst others.

Did someone mention FREE food?

Not yet but I’m about to!! When you get your Valencia Tourist Card you’ll see a few ads for restaurants in the city where you get complimentary food and drink!

Head to El Corte Ingles for a complimentary tapa and a glass of wine, and then there’s one more voucher valid at a few restaurants around the city.

Anywhere else I can use the Valencia Tourist Card?

I didn’t have the chance to visit (partly because I was busy enjoying the sunshine outside) but the card is also valid at several spas in Valencia including Balneario La Alameda, Olympia Hotel and Spa Las Arenas.

How do I use the Valencia Tourist Card on public transport?

I used my card on several bus, tram and metro journeys. I’d describe Valencia as a walkable city, but if like me, you like to cram a lot in to your trips, you might want to save time by using public transport.

I navigated my way around using Google Maps. You can pop in your destination and select public transport. The app will then show you the best way to get there, including bus numbers and stop names.

In terms of where you can get to using the card, it covers the Metro in Zones A – D (including to and from Valencia Airport) plus buses and trams in Zone A. As a tourist visiting, it’s very unlikely you’d need to go outside of these areas. When you pick up your card you can check the maps. It also includes bus Line 25 which goes to Albufera.

In terms of using the card, you tap it on the machine by the driver when you board a bus, at the tram stop platform and at the gates to the metro. It’s worth mentioning that if you get the Valencia 7-day tourist card, it doesn’t include public transport (or it didn’t when I visited).

Also, if you don’t opt for a tourist card, I think that the system in the city is similar to others, where you have to pay a cost for a Valencia transport card and top it up with journeys as you go along.

So, the big question – is the Valencia Tourist Card worth it?

For me it was definitely worth it. If you’re planning a lot of sightseeing, and want the convenience of using public transport whenever you want, to get wherever you want, then it’s worth it.

I liked that I didn’t have to worry about figuring out metro tickets when I got to the airport, and could hop on public transport around the city whenever my legs got tired! 

I also used several of the free entry tickets and a few of the discounts. Free food was a bonus too! I didn’t get the chance to try out any of the tours as I’d already booked a few through Get Your Guide before my trip, but I’d bear it in mind for next time.

However, if you’re visiting Valencia for a relaxing break, with plans to hang out in the historical city centre, hop from tapas bar to tapas bar and explore on foot, you’ll probably find it cheaper to buy single or return tickets on public transport and pay full price at any attractions. Single tickets on Valencia’s buses start at just 1.50 EUR. Metro lines 3 and 5 go from the airport to the city centre, with a single costing 3.90 EUR.

Sometimes it’s worth paying for the peace of mind, and a card like this definitely brings that! It really depends on how much you want to do during your trip!

I hope this post helps you make a decision. If you have any questions, let me know! Don’t forget to read my other guides to Valencia to make the most of your time in the city.

MY SUGGESTION: Picking up your Valencia Tourist Card at the airport is by far the best option, in my opinion, as it means your metro ride from the airport will be free. And I think we can all agree that saving €4.80 immediately is a great way to start any trip!)

Whether you want to explore the historic old town, lounge on the city’s sunny beaches, or feast on the best paella, you can do it all without spending an extra cent on Valencia’s public transport system. 

And as I just mentioned, even the trip from the airport to the city center is covered by metro, a 25-minute journey that’s normally €4.80 each way – isn’t that convenience at its finest?

Art lovers, history buffs, and curious souls, rejoice! The Valencia Tourist Card opens the doors to a world of knowledge and culture without the usual entry fees.

• Valencia Cathedral, the Miguelete (Bell Tower) and the Holy Grail (20% off)

It gets you all the same great discounts at museums, monuments, stores, restaurants and more. In fact, you’ll actually get some extra bonuses like free entry to certain places that are discounted with the other cards, like the Cathedral and its Museum and the IVAM.

That said, keep in mind that this card doesn’t include free public transport, which is why it’s priced a bit differently from the others.

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten about the little explorers! There’s a special Valencia Tourist Card tailored for children aged 6 to 12.

Prices vary depending on the duration of the card and while you can c heck here for more information on the cost of each card, the summary of this is:

• The 24-hour Valencia Tourist Card comes in at just €15 for adults and €12.75 for children.
• The 48-hour Valencia Tourist Card is a bargain at €20 for adults and €17 for children.
• The 72-hour Valencia Tourist Card is the ultimate deal at €25 for adults and €21.25 for children.
• The 7-day Valencia Tourist Card, with its extra discounts (but no free public transport) costs €12 for adults and €10.20 for kids.

Imagine, for less than the cost of a fancy meal, you get unlimited transportation, free entry to museums and monuments, discounts galore…and some free tapas and drinks on the side!

Where Can I Buy a Valencia Tourist Card?

You’ll be glad to know that purchasing a Valencia Tourist Card is a breeze. The easiest way is to buy it online before your trip and then pick up your card from the Tourist Info Office at the airport or in the city center when you arrive.

In fact, you can easily buy your Valencia Tourist card right here!

And guess what? If you’re already in Valencia, you can also buy the card online and then pick it up directly from any Tourist Info Office. 

In addition to the airport (which is the easiest and quickest option if you’ve bought it before arriving), the offices are also located at major points throughout the city, including the airport, train stations, and central squares. And yes, they’ll be thrilled to see you!

How Does the Valencia Tourist Card Work?

You’re all set with your Valencia Tourist Card. But how does it work, you ask? It’s as easy as uno, dos, tres!

The card is activated the first time you use it, whether that’s hopping on a bus, entering a museum, or using a discount. From then, it’s valid for the duration you chose – 24, 48, or 72 hours. 

Remember, the clock starts ticking from the first use, so plan your itinerary wisely to make the most out of your card.

Is the Valencia Tourist Card Worth It?

In my opinion, if you plan to see many of the main sights around Valencia and will be getting public transport when doing so, especially to and from the airport, then the Valencia Tourist Card is definitely worth it thanks to the free public transport and free entry to many places on offer.

Who Shouldn’t Get the Valencia Tourist Card?

Now, I’ve sung the praises of the Valencia Tourist Card, but it’s also true that not every deal suits every traveler. So, who might not find the card as beneficial?

You may want to think twice about getting this if you fall into one of the following groups:

• If you’re only planning a quick stop in Valencia , or if your idea of a perfect vacation is lounging at the beach all day (no judgment here, by the way), then you might not need the Valencia Tourist Card. 
• If your itinerary doesn’t include a lot of museum-hopping , then the benefits of the card might not outweigh the cost.
• If you don’t think you’ll be taking public transport that often , you might not find yourself getting the full benefits.

Honestly, if you plan to get the metro to and from the airport (which I always do) and think you’ll go to a couple of the main tourist attractions, like a museum or other historical site, then you’ll easily hit the point where the Valencia Tourist Card will be well worth it for you.

Throw in some of the restaurant discounts or getting some savings on a tour or bike rental in Valencia, and you’ll be laughing.

Of course, it’s up to you depending on how you think you’ll be traveling in the city but, overall, it’s going to be a great deal for many visitors.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card on Public Transport?

Using your Valencia Tourist Card on public transport is a cinch! For buses, simply show your card to the driver as you board. For trams and the metro, just swipe your card on the card readers located at the entrance. 

Remember, your card covers all zones within the city, including the trip from the airport to the city center. So, whether you’re heading to the beach, returning from a night out, or journeying from one attraction to the next, your Valencia Tourist Card has got you covered.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card at Attractions?

As if the Valencia Tourist Card couldn’t get any easier to use, here’s how it works at attractions: Simply present your card at the ticket office of the museum or monument you’re visiting. The friendly staff will then grant you free entry – it’s like having a VIP pass to the city’s cultural treasures!

And remember, there’s no limit to the number of attractions you can visit during the validity of your card. So go ahead, indulge your curiosity, immerse yourself in the rich history of Valencia, and let each new discovery be a story to tell.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card at Restaurants?

Ready to tantalize your taste buds with Valencia’s culinary delights? Using your Valencia Tourist Card at participating restaurants is as simple as pie… or should we say, paella?

No transport 7-day Valencia Tourist Card

Soon there will also be a 7-day Valencia Tourist Card (with no transport) available. These 7-day passes for single users will be ideal for those that would rather spread activities out throughout several days, especially if they prefer walking or biking over taking public transport .

Keep in mind that this option is not currently available , and it hasn’t been specified when it will be. When it is released, the 7-day VTC will guarantee the same discounts and free entries included in other Valencia Tourist cards, minus the free public transport. The services will include:

• Free entry to municipal museums and monument s.
• Free entrance to the Cathedral and its museum , including the audio guide. Other VTC cards get you a discount to the Cathedral, but no free entry.
• Special discounts on 130 participating tourist leisure services, restaurants, and shops. These include tourist attractions, like the City of Arts and Sciences , private museums, tourist bus tours, walking guided tours, cruises, and many more.
• A map of Valencia with a discounts guide. Here, you will be able to check where you can use your free entry or discounts.
• Two tapas and two drinks for free, for each card.

As the name suggests, the card will be valid for 7 days. However, in contrast to the other VTC cards, this one will not be activated upon first use (by tapping it on a reader). Instead, the card will have the date printed on it. This means that you will only be able to use it for 7 days from said date. Therefore, it will be better to get this card on the first day you plan on using it.

Come funziona e cosa comprende la Valencia Tourist Card

La Valencia Tourist Card è una tessera combinata, pensata appositamente dalla Fondazione Valencia Tourism per tutti i visitatori della città. Il principale intento della tessera è di agevolare la vita del turista. Come? Basicamente attraverso l’offerta di sconti e agevolazioni di vario genere.

Il raggio d’azione della card è molto esteso, coprendo pressoché tutte le principali esigenze del turista:

• Trasporti pubblici urbani gratuiti: include gli autobus, metropolitana e tram nelle zone ABCD; compreso il trasferimento dall’aeroporto;
• Ingresso gratuito in molti musei e monumenti:  tra cui – solo per citarne alcuni – la  Lonja de la Seda , Ivam , Torres de Serranos e Quart, Cattedrale di Valencia e il Miguelete , Almudín, Centro d’Artigianato della Comunità Valenciana, il Centro Espositivo del Carmen, e molti altri ancora;
• Sconti per le principali attrazioni turistiche: come il Bioparc di Valencia , tutte le strutture della  Città delle Arti e delle Scienze , ect;
• Agevolazioni in tanti ristoranti, negozi e attività commerciali:  dai negozi per noleggiare una bicicletta alle agenzie che offrono escursioni e visite guidate.

Acquisto e ritiro della VLC Tourist Card

Come fare per comprare la VLC Tourist Card?

Se sei interessato alla tessera, il mio consiglio è quello di affidarti all’ acquisto online sul sito del nostro partner Get Your Guide. In questo modo, eviterai di fare code all’ufficio del turismo presente in aeroporto. Potrai usufruire inoltre di un servizio di cancellazione con rimborso completo fino a 24 ore prima del tuo arrivo.

Il procedimento di acquisto è veramente semplice e intuitivo. Una volta terminata la prenotazione, ti verrà inviato un voucher di conferma via mail : conservalo o stampalo, ti servirà per ritirare immediatamente la tua tessera presso uno dei punti autorizzati. In tutta la città ne troverai svariati, a partire come dicevamo dall’aeroporto. Al momento del ritiro, oltre alla tessera ti sarà consegnata una guida completa con tutti i servizi inclusi! Davvero molto utile.

Prenota la Tessera

Validità, costo e come attivare la tessera

La Valencia Tourist Card  è stata pensata per avere 3 validità diverse ; questo dipenderà della tipologia che deciderai di acquistare. Ovviamente, il costo della card aumenterà per quella di durata maggiore. Di seguito ti riporto i prezzi aggiornati scegliendo l’acquisto online:

• 24 ore VLC Tourist Card > 15 euro
• 48 ore VLC Tourist Card > 20 euro
• 72 ore VLC Tourist Card > 25 euro

Una volta in possesso della tessera, l’attivazione è semplicissima. Sarà sufficiente infatti convalidarla su un mezzo pubblico in occasione del primo viaggio – ad esempio dall’aeroporto al centro – o in alternativa utilizzandola presso uno dei musei o negozi convenzionati.

La tessera per le famiglie

Se viaggi in famiglia e sei interessati alla tessera, la migliore soluzione è acquistare la Valencia Tourist Card Family . Il funzionamento e i benefici di questa card sono identici a quella tradizionale, ma ti permetterà di risparmiare sull’acquisto per tutti i componenti della famiglia.

Nello specifico, lo sconto applicato sarà del 10% sulla tessera degli adulti e del 15% su quella dei più piccoli. L’unica pecca? I bambini dovranno rientra nella fascia d’età 6-12 anni .

Nel caso fossero maggiori di 12 anni, dovrete comprare ognuno la vostra tessera.

VLC Tourist Card senza trasporto

Recentemente, è stata creata un’ulteriore tipologie di tessera del turista, denominata VLC Tourist Card 7 giorni . La particolarità di questa nuova card è quella di non comprendere il trasporto gratuito in città: i restanti benefici sopra elencanti, restano validi.

A differenza delle altre tessere, questa ha una validità di sette giorni a partire dal primo giorno di utilizzo. Per l’attivazione, ti basterà semplicemente mostrarla al negozio o al museo che visiterai. Insieme alla tessera, anche in questo caso ti sarà consegnata una mappa e una piccola guida con tutte le attività e luoghi che rientrano nel circuito Tourist Card.

La Valencia Tourist Card conviene?

Veniamo alla questione della  convenienza . Va detto che la card ti offre davvero molti sconti e riduzioni. Naturalmente, sta a te dover valutare quante di queste opportunità sarai effettivamente in grado di cogliere.

Per calcolare con precisione il risparmio che otterrete con la tessera e aiutarti nella scelta, il portale ufficiale del turismo di Valencia mette a disposizione uno strumento con cui conoscere esattamente il prezzo risparmiato se ti rechi in un ristorante – piuttosto che su un locale – con o senza VLC Tourist Card.

D’altra parte bisogna considerare che, per il semplice fatto di includere il trasferimento dall’aeroporto  di Valencia (10,60€ a/r), a mio modo di vedere vale la pena acquistarla. Evidentemente, il discorso cambia se arriverai in città con una macchina propria o a noleggio, e magari ti trovi a in città prettamente per ragioni di lavoro.

VLC Tourist Card o Valencia Pass?

Un altro confronto che viene spesso fatto e su cui mi arrivano molte domande è quello tra la Tourist Card e il Valencia Digital Pass .

Qual è la differenza?

Al contrario della VLC Card che offre delle riduzioni e sconti al momento in cui andrai ad acquistare i ticket d’ingresso, il Valencia Pass include l’entrate presso le 2 principali attrazioni della città: Bioparc e Oceanografico. Oltre a queste due entrate avrai compreso sempre nel pass il biglietto 48 ore per l’autobus turistico ed alcune audio guide scaricabili su smartphone.

Sicuramente un qualcosa di molto più specifico , in quanto non è prevista tutta la scontistica sui numerosi musei e ristoranti previsti con la VLC Tourist Card. Per maggiori info sul Valencia Pass ti rimando all’articolo di approfondimento che troverai nel blog.

Valencia card

Se avete in programma di visitare Valencia per un viaggio turistico di piacere, vi consiglio di valutare l’opportunità di acquistare una card o un pass turistico per Valencia da poter usare per risparmiare tempo e denaro sulla visita di musei, attrazioni e per i trasporti.

Con la card o il pass per Valencia potete vivere un viaggio a Valencia più completo , risparmiando tempo e denaro.

In questa pagina ho raccolto tutte le informazioni sulla Valencia Card e Valencia Pass – i due migliori pass disponibili per Valencia , confrontandoli per aiutarvi a scegliere la soluzione che meglio si adatta alla vostra vacanza (oppure per scoprire che il pass non si adatta al vostro itinerario di viaggio – caso raro ma teoricamente possibile).

• Acquista la Valencia Tourist Card

Trasporti pubblici illimitati, ingressi gratuiti nei musei e monumenti municipali + sconti per le principali attrazioni turistiche di Valencia, tour, negozi e ristoranti convenzionati.

Le card e i pass per Valencia: opinioni

Quale pass per valencia scegliere, elenco musei e attrazioni valencia card, prezzi valencia tourist pass, quando conviene, come funziona, dove acquistare, cosa è incluso, prezzi valencia digital pass.

L’opzione più conosciuta e blasonata come pass per Valencia è la Valencia Tourist Card . In realtà esiste anche un’altra possibilità che potete prendere in considerazione: si tratta del Valencia Digital Pass . Sono in questo momento i due migliori pass per Valencia.

La Valencia Tourist Card presenta un vantaggio in termini di comodità e praticità ed è a mio avviso la soluzione più completa. Se la vostra intenzione è quella di fare una classica vacanza da turista, visitando i musei e i monumenti della città, spostandovi con i mezzi pubblici, è molto probabile che questa sia la scelta più adatta al vostro soggiorno . La Valencia Tourist Crad include l’uso dei mezzi di trasporto illimitati, comprende molti musei e attrazioni (tra le principali della città), sconti e altri vantaggi.

Il Valencia Digital Pass è più adatto ad un week end in città e se avete già le idee molto chiare su cosa visitare , decidendo di entrare nelle 3 attrazioni che sono incluse (Oceanogràfic, Museo della Scienza e Hemisfèric) e scegliendone un’altra su cui potete godere di uno sconto del 10%. Non sono inclusi i mezzi di trasporto , ma comprende il sempre gradito bus turistico hop-on hop-off (durata di 24 ore), una valida alternativa ai mezzi pubblici (in soggiorni brevi) perché generalmente vi porta in tutti i punti principali della città.

Scopriamo ora in dettaglio ciascuno dei due pass per Valencia.

Confronto tra i pass per Valencia

Valencia Tourist Card e Valencia Digital Pass sono a mio parere due pass quasi complementari .

Il primo ( Valencia Tourist Card ) è il kit perfetto del turista che fa una vacanza medio lunga , con l’obiettivo di visitare la città in modo approfondito. E’ comoda, comprende l’accesso a praticamente tutti i musei municipali, comprende i mezzi pubblici di trasporto, il transfer da e per l’aeroporto. I suoi diversi tagli di durata creano la giusta flessibilità per ogni itinerario. Non comprende invece alcune delle attrazioni turistiche più gettonate, come l’ Oceanogràfic , il Museo della Scienza e l’ Hemisfèric , che dovrete visitare a parte acquistando i biglietti (il pass da diritto a parecchi sconti su quanto non compreso).

Il Valencia Digital Pass invece, quasi al contrario, copre solo queste 3 attrazioni turistiche, ai quali aggiunge 24 ore di bus turistico Hop-On / Hop-Off (quello che vi porta in visita alla città percorrendo le sue tappe principali, con audioguida). Non comprende nessun altro museo, ne i mezzi pubblici. Per questa ragione si adatta tendenzialmente meglio ai weekend (2-3 giorni) e a chi mira ad assaggiare la città nei suoi punti vitali, senza addentrarsi nella storia e nella cultura tramite i suoi musei.

Quindi sono due pass che si adattano a filosofie e situazioni diverse , e non è da escludere che si possa valutare di averli anche entrambi , con una buona organizzazione d’itinerario.

Il modo corretto di scegliere è comprendere il tipo di vacanza a Valencia che si vuole fare , dopo aver compreso bene ciascun pass nel dettaglio, che ora vediamo.

Valencia Tourist Card

Esistono tre tipi di card, che differiscono tra loro per la durata di validità: 24, 48, o 72 ore.

Incluso nella Valencia Card c’è anche il tragitto Aeroporto – Valencia e viceversa (linea L3 e L5 della metro). Il biglietto costerebbe 4,90 € a tragitto (per un totale di 9,80 € A/R), ma con la Valencia Card è già compreso.

Esiste pure un’opzione “speciale” di questa Card, la Valencia Tourist Card 7 giorni. Diversamente dalle opzioni qui sopra questa Card non include i trasporti pubblici e comprende l’ingresso gratuito alla Cattedrale e al relativo museo (con audioguida). Opzione da valutare con attenzione, perché la mancanza dei mezzi di trasporto (che andrebbero acquistati a parte) ne fa perdere un po’ l’appeal. Ideale se per qualsiasi ragione avete possibilità di spostarvi in città senza usare i mezzi (siete ospiti di qualcuno, noleggiate un auto, ecc)

Compresa nella Valencia Card avrete l’ingresso gratuito a molti musei e monumenti della città di Valencia. Sono i musei municipali della città (non quelli privati), che tendenzialmente si adattano a chi ama approfondire anche la parte storico-culturale di una città.

Di seguito vi riporto un elenco di tutto ciò che potete visitare gratuitamente, in quanto compreso nel Valencia Tourist Pass:

• Lonja de la Seda
• Museo Fallero
• Museo de Historia de Valencia
• Torres de Serranos
• Torres de Quart
• Museo Arqueológico de la Almoina
• Galeria de Tossal
• Reales Atarazanas
• Casa-Museo José Benlliure
• Palacio de Cervelló
• Cripta Arqueológica de la Carcel de San Vicente Mártir
• Museo del Arroz
• Museo de la Ciudad
• Casa-Museo Concha Piquer
• Casa-Museo Blasco Ibánez
• Museo Municipal de Ciencias Naturales
• Museo Histórico Municipal

Oltre a questi musei e monumenti completamente gratuiti, avrete un biglietto scontato per la Cattedrale (10% di sconto), il Museo de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (15% di sconto), l’ Hemisfèric (15% di sconto), l’ Oceanogràfic (15% di sconto) e altre offerte su molti tour, ristoranti, negozi e gli ingressi in altre attrazioni di Valencia.

Qui trovate la lista completa di tutte le attività e attrazioni comprese.

Il prezzo varia in base al numero di ore di validità. Di seguito vi riporto i prezzi:

• 24 ore € 15,00 – ragazzi 6-12 anni € 12,75
• 48 ore € 20,00 – ragazzi 6-12 anni € 17,00
• 72 ore  € 25,00 – ragazzi 6-12 anni € 21,25

Abbiamo scelto di preferire l’acquisto del Valencia Touristi Pass su Tiqets (affidabile fornitore di pass turistici per Valencia) piuttosto che sul sito ufficiale. Nonostante ogni tanto sul sito ufficiale siano presenti anche piccoli sconti sul prezzo di listino, in genere un 10% circa.

Se visitate Valencia per la prima volta o se volete fare  una classica vacanza turistica alla scoperta di alcune delle attrazioni della città, la questa card per Valencia vi consente sicuramente di risparmiare tempo e denaro, oltre ad essere molto pratica . Un unico acquisto per avere copertura quasi totale.

Forse dal punto di vista economico il risparmio non è eclatante, ma c’è e deve essere aggiunto al risparmio di tempo e alla comodità di avere un unico pass per attrazioni e musei. Inoltre valutate che gli sconti su altre attrazioni e attività turistiche (tipo i ristoranti) – che in questo veloce calcolo non sono conteggiati – impattano parecchio sul risparmio in 4-5 giorni di vacanza.

Se nel vostro itinerario di viaggio – come vi consiglio assolutamente – decidete di includere attività o tour turistici , come i tour in bici, a piedi o le visite guidate, allora il risparmio diventa sensibile grazie agli sconti che potete ottenere grazie al pass.

Per quanto riguarda la Card ridotta per i ragazzi, il discorso può essere diverso. Bisogna considerare che molto spesso i ragazzi sotto i 12 anni possono già usufruire di riduzioni per l’ingresso in molti musei o attività turistiche . Inoltre, i mezzi pubblici a Valencia sono gratuiti per i bambini dagli 0 ai 5 anni (per quanto riguarda l’autobus) e per la metro fino ai 9 anni. Quindi valutate bene il vostro caso specifico sulla base del vostro itinerario. Visti i prezzi comunque contenuti di questo pass, nel dubbio conviene prendere lo stesso pass peradulti e bambini . Combinare le casistiche per risparmiare qualche euro può causare parecchie rogne organizzative.

La Valencia Card è individuale, quindi bisogna possederne una a testa e non potete cederla. La validità parte dal primo utilizzo sui mezzi pubblici o per l’ingresso a una delle attrazioni che sono comprese. Anche se è già stata attivata, la card deve essere sempre convalidata ogni volta che si sale su un trasporto pubblico. I giorni sono calcolati in ore, quindi se la utilizzate per la prima volta alle 15.00 di lunedì, una tessera di 2 giorni scadrà mercoledì alle ore 15.00 e non a mezzanotte del secondo giorno.

Per l’ingresso nei musei o alle attrazioni basta  passare la tessera sotto ad un lettore , aspettando che la riconosca (lo schermo del dispositivo si illuminerà di verde). Assieme alla tessera vi verrà consegnata una guida e una mappa di Valencia con indicati tutti gli indirizzi dei monumenti, dei musei, dei locali e tutti gli sconti.

Un altro vantaggio di questa Card è anche il fatto che è possibile estenderne la durata , ricaricandola in qualsiasi Tourist Info. Vi ricordo anche che le card non attive scadono al termine dell’anno in corso.

La Valencia Tourist Card conviene acquistarla online. In realtà può essere acquistata anche negli uffici turistici locali, nei chioschi digitali o distributori automatici (nell’aeroporto di Valencia), ma grazie alla politica di annullamento di Tiqets conviene partire già con i pass in tasca, evitando qualsiasi intoppo una volta in città.

Al momento dell’acquisto riceverete via mail un voucher. Una volta arrivati a Valencia dovete consegnare il voucher all’ufficio del turismo dove potrete ritirare la card vera e propria. In alternativa potete anche ritirare la tessera nel chiosco digitale in aeroporto (consigliato) oppure farvela spedire a casa o al vostro hotel una volta arrivati a Valencia.

>> Vi rimando al sito ufficiale per info sugli uffici del turismo e gli orari di apertura e chiusura. 

Valencia Digital Pass

• Acquista il Valencia Digital Pass

Compreso nel Valencia Pass avrete l’ingresso gratuito a 3 delle attrazioni principali della città, potete utilizzare gratuitamente l’autobus turistico per 24 ore e avrete la possibilità di ricevere uno sconto su un’altra attrazione a scelta:

• Ingresso salta fila all’ Oceanogràfic , al Museo della Scienza e al’ Hemisfèric (con audioguida).
• Accesso per 24 ore all’autobus hop-on hop-off di Valencia (con audioguida).
• Mappa e audioguida con la descrizione di oltre 100 punti di interesse e l’indicazione di percorsi a piedi o con i mezzi pubblici.
• 10 % di sconto su un’altra attrazione di Valencia.

In questo caso la tessera è unica e il prezzo varia solo se avete diritto a riduzioni. Di seguito vi riporto i prezzi:

• Prezzo € 65,00 – Adulti
• Ridotto € 56,00 – ragazzi dai 13 ai 17 anni
• Ridotto € 46,00 – bambini dagli 8 ai 12 anni
• Ridotto € 29,10 – bambini dai 4 ai 7 anni
• Ridotto € 54, 00 – over 65

La prima cosa che balza agli occhi è il prezzo, decisamente diverso dal pass precedente, con “solo” 3 attrazioni. Tuttavia il Valencia DIGITAL Pass comprende le 3 attrazioni più costose di Valencia, ed è quindi normale che il pass costi di più di conseguenza. Calcolando il risparmio tra biglietti singoli e costo del pass, tenendo conto anche del bus tour Hop-On / Hop-Off per 24 ore, il risparmio economico è assolutamente evidente.

Il Valencia Pass è un’opzione interessante che ben si adatta a chi fa vacanze più brevi (il classico weekend lungo da 2-3 giorni). Vi permette di visitare le attrazioni più famose di Valencia risparmiando dal punto di vista economico ma anche (e soprattutto) risparmiando tempo : incluso nel pass c’è il salta fila per tutte e tre le attrazioni più visitate della città . L’assenza dei mezzi pubblici è in quest’ottica colmabile : in 2-3 giorni, ottimizzando gli spostamenti, avrete meno bisogno dei mezzi, e anche comprando le corse che vi servono la spesa sarà comunque contenuta. Inoltre per un intero giorno avete a disposizione il bus turistico a fermate, che potete prendere quando e come volete, e fa continuamente il giro dei punti vitali della città.

Il Valencia Pass non è un pass fisico , quindi non dovete ritirare nulla quando arrivate a Valencia, ma acquistate tutto online.

Nel momento dell’acquisto dovete selezionare la data di arrivo in città , che sarà utilizzata per l’avvio dei biglietti del bus hop-on hop-off e l’accesso all’audioguida per Valencia. Successivamente dovete inserire la data e la fascia oraria per la visita all’Hemisfèric (le altre due sedi potrete visitarle nello stesso giorno o in un periodo massimo di due giorni ).

Per l’ingresso alle attrazioni o ai musei basta mostrare i biglietti direttamente dal vostro telefono .

Potete acquistare il pass sul sito di Tiqets , un portale affidabile e sicuro dove potete trovare soluzioni convenienti per molte attrazioni o musei.

Vi arriveranno i vostri biglietti  via email insieme al codice sconto (del 10%) che potrete utilizzare per prenotare un’altra attrazione della città a vostra scelta.

3 Days in Valencia: The Perfect Itinerary (+ Map)

This post may contain affiliate links. Disclosure

Valencia is a sunny Mediterranean city perfect for a long weekend break. If you’re planning to spend 3 days in Valencia , I’ve crafted a cool itinerary that will take you around the city, show you the most interesting bits and sit you at the table of some of the most delicious restaurants.

Valencia has long been an off-the-beaten-path destination. However, in recent years it became a cool place to be and a digital nomad hotspot. As the birthplace of paella and the cradle of the Las Fallas festival , Valencia is a wonderfully refreshing destination just perfect for a 3 day trip, whether you want to visit it during the week or you’re planning a fun Valencia weekend trip.

My 3 days in Valencia guide is designed for foodies and culture lovers. But history buffs and architecture enthusiasts will surely have a great time as well.

This itinerary is a mere suggestion for what to do in Valencia in 3 days . If any of the attractions I mention here don’t interest you, you can always check out my extensive list of things to do in Valencia as well as these Valencia hidden gems .

How to spend 3 days in Valencia

I’m starting from the premises where you have limited time and want to see Valencia in 3 days. So I’ve only included the best of Valencia in this itinerary.

The reason why I haven’t made any breakfast suggestions is that everyone’s needs will be different. You might have breakfast included or want to take advantage of your Airbnb’s kitchen even if you’re only visiting Valencia for three days.

However, if you want to eat out and are looking for suggestions, I recommend you have a look at my list of the best breakfast and brunch spots in Valencia .

Also, if you’d like to learn more about the local customs, events, and cultural differences, and ultimately see Valencia through the eyes of a passionate local, a tour is the perfect introduction to Valencia.

Day 1: Explore the Old Town

The Old Town (Ciutat Vella) is my favorite part of the city so I’ll start this guide on what to see in Valencia in 3 days here. This is the heart of the city, with the largest concentration of museums and attractions. My suggestion is to spend the first out of your 3 days in Valencia walking around this area.

You can explore the Old Town on your own or you can join a tour and learn the interesting stories behind Valencia’s most famous landmarks. It really is up to you.

La Lonja de la Seda

Start your day with a visit to La Lonja de la Seda (the Silk Exchange). Back in the 15th and 16th centuries, this was the most important silk trade center in the Mediterranean.

The grandeur of the building can already be appreciated from street level. But you should really go inside because the imposing Contract Hall is out of this world. Its huge twisted columns reminiscent of palm trees create one of the most impressive interiors in Valencia.

The smaller rooms have gorgeous ornate ceilings as well and they are guaranteed to leave you speechless. Plus, La Lonja has an inner patio with orange trees and a central fountain and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entry is free with the Valencia tourist card.

If you want to know more about the historical legacy of the silk trade in Valencia and visit other silk-related attractions (including the Silk Museum) a guided tour is a must.

Mercado Central

Now cross the street to the bustling Central Market. This is Valencia’s most beloved and colorful market. It’s ideal for buying fresh produce from nearby vegetable gardens and orchards as well as fresh seafood, cured meats, aged cheeses, olive oils, and spices.

If grocery shopping doesn’t fit into your schedule, you can still have a freshly squeezed smoothie or a glass of horchata from one of the stalls. For a quick mid-morning snack, check out one of the many stalls selling baked goods.

After you’ve feasted your eyes on all the deliciousness around you, direct your gaze and point your camera towards the ceiling. This is one of the most stunning Art Nouveau buildings in Valencia. Take a moment to appreciate it in all its glory. It’s one of the most stunning buildings in Valencia.

Saint Nicholas Church

A few minutes away, on Calle Caballeros, you’ll find yourself in front of Iglesia de San Nicolas. While this is the most astonishing church in Valencia, the entry couldn’t be more nondescript.

You might be staring at the map on your phone in disbelief, and wonder if the little alley squeezed in between two residential buildings will really lead you to anything special. It will indeed!

The Saint Nicholas Church is often described as the Valencian Sistine Chapel due to its gorgeously painted ceiling and walls. In fact, it’s difficult to find a square inch that hasn’t been masterfully covered in colorful frescoes.

Take your time to admire the Baroque paintings that blend to perfection with the Gothic style of the church. The irregular ceiling is more than double that of the Sixtine Chapel in Rome!

Mid-morning break — Coffee with views of Plaza de la Virgen

Continue along Calle Caballeros all the way to Plaza de la Virgen. Here you’ll find a series of sunny terraces and arguably the best views in Valencia.

Right in front of you, the Basilica of Our Lady of The Forsaken (Basilica de la Virgen de Los Desamparados) stands out due to its unusual oval nave. What’s even more surprising in my opinion, is the bridge that connects it to the cathedral.

Have a look inside or have a coffee break on one of the terraces before exploring further.

Visit the Cathedral and climb the Miguelete

Next, take a quick walk around the cathedral to discover the three gates, each in a different architectural style. Then find your way to the main entrance as it’s the only one where you can gain access to the cathedral floor outside service hours.

If you are a fan of panoramic views, climbing the bell tower which the locals affectionately call El Miguelete is really worth it. You might discover that it’s an even more interesting experience than touring the cathedral itself!

Keep in mind, however, that there are 207 narrow steps all the way to the summit and they will give you a good workout for the day.

The cathedral is also famous for hosting the Holy Chalice (the cup from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper). Depending on your interests, you might want to get a combined ticket or not.

Lunch — Take advantage of the ‘menu of the day’ deal

Time for lunch. You’ve earned it! The good news is that you’ll find plenty of restaurants serving menú del día (lunch deal) in the city center. These menus are usually priced between 10 and 15 EUR and they include a starter, main dish, dessert, and a drink.

The bad news is that most restaurants don’t serve lunch until 1:30 – 2 pm. Some more touristy ones might start serving lunch a bit earlier, but the food might be lacking.

You will find lots of good restaurants in the city center, way more than you’ll have the chance to try during 3 days in Valencia. One restaurant I personally like is Commo Fusion , a Mediterranean-Peruvian fusion restaurant in Calle de Pascual y Genís. Another one is Atmosphère , a restaurant serving delicious meals with a French twist, in Calle Quart.

Palace of the Marques de Dos Aguas

After lunch, head to the Palace of the Marques de Dos Aguas. This is the most beautiful palace in Valencia and though it’s oftentimes advertised as a ceramics museum due to the fact that it’s the most important museum of its kind in Spain, the first floor still preserves the fabulously decorated rooms of the old palace.

You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the out-of-this-world entrance. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen!

After you tour the palace, you can stroll along Calle Poeta Querol. Here you’ll find some big brands and the Lladró flagship store. If you don’t have time to visit the Lladró factory during your 3 days in Valencia, this shop is the next best thing.

However, if you do have more than 3 days in Valencia, my list of the best day trips from Valencia might come in handy, so make sure you check it out.

Mid-afternoon — Churros and chocolate at Chocolates Valor

Time for a mid-afternoon snack! If you have a sweet tooth and a predilection for churros, Chocolates Valor is the place for you. This is a Valencian institution that has been around for well over a century. Plus, they serve the best thick, hot chocolate in Valencia!

While the menu is quite extensive, I recommend the churros and chocolate deal. Their churros are a bit thicker, somewhat between classic Spanish churros and porras (a thicker version of churros and a typical Las Fallas food ). Many locals even prefer their churros over the traditional ones. Personally, I find them really delicious.

Wanna know more about churros? Check out these interesting churro facts .

Serranos and Quart Towers

These two massive towers are pretty much all that’s left of the old medieval city walls. They both can be climbed (free entry with the Valencia Tourist Card) so if you want to burn all those churros and chocolate calories, this is your chance.

The views from the top are pretty nice as well. Although not as high as the cathedral tower, it’s a different perspective.

Stroll around El Carmen for some shopping and graffiti spotting

Dedicate the rest of the afternoon to strolling around the El Carmen neighborhood. This is the oldest part of Valencia, yet it attracts a young and dynamic crowd.

You can browse independently owned boutiques, go graffiti hunting, or relax on a terrace. You can also do some souvenir shopping (see the best souvenirs to buy from Valencia and the shops that sell them).

El Carmen has many crumbling buildings. But for every decaying property, there are at least two others that have been given a second chance and are now cool restaurants, tapas bars, or jazz clubs. This makes El Carmen the ideal neighborhood to have dinner and/or go out for some typical Spanish drinks .

El Carmen is packed with architectural gems and shrouded in legend. I highly recommend you join a private walking tour that will take you on winding narrow streets and inside hidden courtyards so you don’t miss out on all the marvels this neighborhood harbors.

After-dinner drinks — agua de Valencia

You cannot visit Valencia without trying its most famous cocktail — agua de Valencia . While the name says agua (water), that’s highly misleading. In fact, this boozy beverage has absolutely no water in it (unless you count the water in the ice cubes).

Instead, Agua de Valencia is made with freshly squeezed orange juice and cava (local sparkling wine), plus a couple of other ingredients. The result is a sweet yet potent concoction, that is best enjoyed while relaxing on a terrace after a day of sightseeing.

I recommend you stop by either Café de las Horas or Café Infanta, both in El Carmen. They serve some of the best agua de Valencia in town.

Day 2: A walk in the park and a visit to the City of Arts and Sciences

For the second out of your 3 days in Valencia, I suggest you go for a relaxing walk in the park and visit the most interesting building complex in the city. Enjoying a relaxed morning could be quite nice, especially if you’re spending a long weekend in Valencia and also plan to recharge your batteries. In between all the sightseeing, don’t forget to try some typical Valencian food.

Browse some shops

Start the days with a walk along the streets of Eixample. This is the fanciest area in Valencia, with gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings and cute boutique shops.

I especially love walking along Calle Cirilo Amoros. This is a quiet tree-lined street where you can start your day on your own terms. After you’ve explored the nearby streets, stop for a mid-morning snack at Mercado de Colon.

If you’d like to spend more time browsing Valencia’s boutiques and retail stores, check out my Valencia shopping guide .

Mid-morning snack — Horchata and fartons at Mercado de Colon

This absolutely gorgeous Art Nouveau market named after Christopher Columbus (Columbus is Colon in Spanish) is one of the best places to relax in Valencia. Although it used to be a proper food market in a different life, in recent years it got completely refurbished to the delight of the locals who now love to hang out here.

If you’re lucky, you might find an artisanal market inside. Local artists and makers often exhibit their creations here, from handmade jewelry to quirky clothing.

If you’re hungry and would like something sweet, stop by Suc de Lluna or Orxata to have some horchata and fartons . This is a drink made from chufa (tigernut) tubercles and it hardly gets any more local than this. Valencianos love to treat themselves to a glass of horchata and fartons , especially in the afternoon, but I think we can make an exception here.

Explore the old Turia riverbed, now a lush park

If you’ve been missing your workout routine, a walk through Turia Park, one of Valencia’s most beautiful gardens, will give you the opportunity to catch up.

These 8 km long gardens divide Valencia into two halves and are the result of the diversion of the Turia River to the outskirts of the city.

If you walk along Calle Cirilo Amoros, you’ll find yourself right in front of Puente de la Mar (the Sea Bridge). This is one of the most interesting of the 19 bridges that used to cross the Turia River.

Only a few meters to the left, you’ll find Puente de las Flores (Flower Bridge), one of the most Instagrammable places in Valencia. After taking all the selfies you want, turn right and walk through the park all the way to the City of Arts and Sciences. Or you can rent a segway and explore the park in the opposite direction first. Then find your way to the City of Arts and Sciences.

Lunch: Aqua Commercial Centre

As you’ll notice, the Turia gardens change their landscape every few hundred meters. You’ll pass by Palacio de la Musica (Valencia’s old concert hall) and Gulliver Park (an unusual playground).

If you’re hungry already, once you’ve reached the end of the park, I recommend crossing the street to Aqua Commercial Centre. Another alternative is the El Saler Commercial Center, but I think Aqua is nicer. So this is the place I recommend if you’d like to stop and freshen up with a drink or have lunch.

This commercial center has plenty of restaurants to choose from, plus a dozen shops you can browse. For a quick and unpretentious lunch, you can stop by Cerveceria 100 Montaditos. As their name says, they serve 100 different kinds of pinchos (small snacks served on top of bread).

Oceanographic visit

After lunch, cross Puente de la Presa del Oro to the Oceanographic. This is the biggest aquarium in Europe and one place you should visit in Valencia regardless of your age.

While part of Santiago Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences complex, the Oceanographic was designed by the architect Félix Candela. It’s home to 45,000 animals and it’s a wonderful opportunity to see sharks, penguins, and beluga whales.

I especially like to watch the adorable dolphins (they organize several shows each day).

You’ll need at least two hours to see the whole place, however, you can easily spend the whole day here. Depending on your degree of obsession with sea creatures, you might want to budget more than just a couple of hours for your visit.

City of Arts and Sciences + food tour

The City of Arts and Sciences is a reason for pilgrimage for many architecture students and enthusiasts. Plus this is the attraction that marked the beginning of Valencia’s renaissance as a tourist destination.

Apart from the aquarium mentioned earlier, the complex also has a science museum, an opera house, a sports arena, a 3D cinema, and a covered green area. Whether you decide to visit any of these attractions or not, walking around the blue pools of water is pretty relaxing and fun and one of the most epic experiences in Spain .

After a walk around the City of Arts and Sciences, the tour ends with a tapas tasting on one of the highest rooftop terraces in Valencia. This is a wonderful opportunity to try Spanish cuisine at its best and have dinner at the same time.

Day 3: Relax on the beach, then explore Ruzafa

We’ve already covered a lot in this 3-day Valencia itinerary. For the last day, I suggest you spend some time on the beach (weather permitting) before you return back to the city center to discover another one of Valencia’s gentrified neighborhoods. This will conclude your three days in Valencia itinerary.

If you’ve followed my suggested itinerary so far, the first two days of your trip to Valencia were pretty intense. On the third day, I thought it would be nice for you to relax on the beach.

Valencia has a 5 km long promenade and several urban beaches. Depending on the time of the year you visit, you might feel like sunbathing or going for a walk. Either way, the sea breeze, and the sand are super inviting and will help you relax.

During the warm months of the year, you’ll find a street market along Playa de Cabanyal (once you pass Hotel Las Arenas). There you can buy all kinds of trinkets and last-minute items that you might have forgotten to pack such as beach towels and swimsuits.

Lunch — Try the world-famous paella

If you haven’t tried paella yet, you are in the right place to do so. The restaurants along the beach are some of the best for trying this famous dish.

Here you’ll find authentic paella Valenciana (the one with chicken, rabbit, and beans), paella mixta (with meat and seafood), as well as other local rice dishes.

I recommend you try the traditional version if you can. And keep in mind that authentic paella is always prepared for a minimum of two people. To understand the difference between an average paella and an exceptional one, read these paella facts .

For foodies, I wrote a whole post about what makes paella authentic and the best restaurants that serve it. So make sure you read where to eat the best paella in Valencia before you sit at the table in a random restaurant.

Discover Ruzafa

After lunch, you could take the metro back to the city center or spend a few more hours on the beach. It’s up to you, but it would be a pity to miss a stroll through Ruzafa.

This is the most hipster neighborhood in Valencia right now (although some might argue that Cabanyal, by the sea, is even more so).

In recent years, this area of Valencia has gone through a fascinating process of gentrification. Today you’ll be met with a vibrant and young atmosphere.

This is the perfect place to go out in the late afternoon or evening due to the wealth of terraces and bars. Ruzafa is also great for shopping, as it has plenty of unique shops to explore.

Mid-afternoon snack — Cake at La Mas Bonita or Dulce de Leche

For your mid-afternoon snack (you’re in Spain after all!) you could head to Dulce de Leche Boutique (Calle de Pintor Gisbert) or to La Mas Bonita (Calle de Cadiz).

Both places are fantastic for coffee and cake and I could never have enough of their delicious creations. I honestly believe you can’t go wrong regardless of what you order!

While you might enter analysis paralysis due to the great number of colorful options, I recommend you go for what you know works best for you. If you’re a chocolate fan, order something chocolaty. If now, order something else.

Flamenco show with dinner

As your 3 days in Valencia are coming to an end, it’s time to finish with a bang. I always love to end a trip with a memorable show, and in Valencia, it doesn’t get any better than a live flamenco performance at La Buleria.

This restaurant is an authentic tablao flamenco with an Andalusian atmosphere. Besides the show, dinner is also included. As you can expect, they serve local and Mediterranean dishes, which is another great chance for you to try something new.

La Buleria is located in the Montolivet neighborhood, between Ruzafa and the City of Arts and Sciences, so you might need to return by taxi. But taxis in Valencia are really inexpensive, so this shouldn’t deter you.

Is the Valencia tourist card worth it?

For your 3 days in Valencia, it might make sense for you to buy the Valencia tourist card. The card is valid for 24, 48, and 72 hours and is really inexpensive (€15, €20, and €25 respectively). If you want to see the best in Valencia in 3 days, this card can help.

The Valencia tourist card includes:

• free or discounted entry to museums
• free public urban transport (including bus, tram, metro, and airport transfers)
• 2 tapas + drinks
• discounts (i.e. 15% off at Café de las Horas, 10% off at Mon Orxata stalls, etc.)
• money off local tours and activities (i.e. bike rental shops, catamaran cruises, etc.)

As is the case with any such passes, the Valencia tourist card is worth it if you use it. While many of the museums I’ve included in this 3 day Valencia itinerary are quite inexpensive and you can easily explore the old town on foot, the City of Arts and Sciences and the beach are far enough for you to need to take a bus or metro.

On top of that, the shop and activity discounts can add up fast, so you might end up saving quite a bit of money when using the card. If you decide to buy the card, I recommend you do so online, in advance, to take advantage of the free transport from the airport to the city center.

Where to stay in Valencia for 3 days

If you’re visiting Valencia for 3 days only, I recommend you book accommodation either in the Old Town or in Ruzafa. This way you’ll be close to pretty much all the attractions I mentioned above.

• Palacio de Rojas : A charming hotel located in a refurbished 19th-century palace right in the heart of the El Carmen neighborhood. Each apartment has a kitchenette. This hotel comes highly recommended for its super comfy beds.
• Vincci Mercat : Offering a rooftop terrace with a swimming pool and enchanting views of the old city, this hotel is centrally located close to the Central Market and the City Hall.
• Hotel Plaza Mercado & Spa : Situated right in front of the Central Market, this hotel has ample rooms with a fully equipped kitchen that comes in handy if you want to prepare your own meals with fresh ingredients from the market.
