City of Arts and Sciences and Turia Gardens
Walk through the Turia Gardens, a vast green corridor that crosses Valencia along the former riverbed, until you reach the City of Arts and Sciences. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the complex includes landmarks such as the Oceanogràfic, Hemisfèric and Museu de les Ciències, all icons of the city's contemporary architecture.
Albufera, El Saler and Mediterranean landscapes
South of Valencia, Albufera Natural Park brings together a lagoon, rice fields, wetlands, pine forests and dunes beside the Mediterranean. Head to areas such as El Saler and La Devesa to discover one of the city's most important natural spaces, closely linked to the landscape and Valencia's rice-growing tradition.
