Central Valencia - Downtown City Center - Historical Quarter - Spain :

Valencia City Centre -- Valencia, Spain, the City of Culture, is well worth a visit. If you're short of time, you can take in many of the city sights from the open top bus tour of the city; a loop tour of a couple of hours which shows you all the sights

Most of Valencia's sights are conveniently grouped in or around the centre, which can easily be taken in on foot. It divides into three areas, from south to north, the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and around, the cathedral area, and the historic Barrio del Carmen, wrapped over its north by the Jardines del Turia, the park which stretches along the former course of the diverted Rio Turia, the old bridges still spanning it giving it a surreal feel.

In Valencia, you can find some interesting museums, like the "Museu Provincial de Belles Arts", which displays the works of Valencian and Spanish artists of the 14th and 16th centuries, and "Institut València d'Art Modern" with superb sculptures by Julio Gonzalez and photography temporary exhibitions.

One of the most interesting city innovations is the Museo de las Ciencias Principe Felipe (the City of Arts and Sciences). The project is extraordinary - there are four buildings: Palacio de las Artes (Art Exhibition Centre), L'Hemisfèric (Imax and Laser Show Theatre), Museo de las Ciences (High Technology Interactive Museum),L'Oceanografic (Aquarium), If you come to Valencia, this is a must see.

In complete contrast to this, Valencia has some fine old buildings. The city's cathedral is dedicated to Santa Maria (Saint Mary) and used to be a mosque, but when El Cid conquered the city, it became a Roman Catholic cathedral. Later the city was re-conquered by the Muslims and the cathedral again became a mosque until the Christian king, Jaume I re-conquered Valencia. It has been the main Cathedral in Valencia to this day.

Take a look at the Miguel de Cervantes memorial. Cervantes is the famous author of the "El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha" (Don Quixot), written in 1605. "Don Quijote" is the story of a man who becomes crazy after reading too many novels. There are many churches in the old quarter of Valencia including 14 parish churches and more than 45 convents and the walls of the mediaeval city are still in evidence.

Even the public buildings are spectacular here - the city's railway station is an elegant tribute to the "modernista" era and the Post Office Building (Correos) is fabulous.

Bars and pubs are located in Valencia in the "El Carme" district just beyond the Central Market. There you will find many outdoor terraces and music pubs. You can't leave Valencia without tasting the Valencia Water "Agua de Valencia" (orange juice, champagne and vodka). The city comes to life at night, when you can find local crowds in the open-air bars and pubs. Many of them don't close until the sun comes up again.
