Valencia is a unique blend of ultra-modern buildings existing side by side with a well-preserved historic center. There's also a distinct culture here that reveals itself in the city's gastronomy—after all, this is the place that gave the world
paella. In Valencia, a perfect pastime is strolling by the historic churches and castle ruins of the city center while breaking for refreshments like
horchata (a sugary drink made with tiger nuts) and
agua de Valencia (a champagne/liquor/orange-juice cocktail).
On a walking tour of the historic city, you'll visit major highlights like the
Plaza Del Ayuntamiento, where Valencia's baroque City Hall is located; the
Mercado Central, which, having opened in 1839, is one of the oldest municipal markets in Europe; the 15th-century
Llotja de la Seda, a Valencian-gothic fortress that was once a financial center when Valencia dominated the silk trade; and the UNESCO World Heritage
Valencia Cathedral, a 13th-century basilica.
Throughout the tour, your guide will reveal historical and cultural insight into all of the landmarks you visit.
