DAY 1

DAY 2

Turia and the City of Arts

Walk this section of the garden rather than the entire former riverbed. The final stops belong to the same complex. If you choose the Oceanogràfic, allow a substantial part of the day and save other interiors for another visit.

The walk reaches the Oceanogràfic area, but going inside requires a ticket. If you choose it, allow enough time and reduce the day’s other indoor visits.

DAY 3

Cabanyal and the beach

Spend a morning or afternoon in the maritime neighbourhood and on the Malvarrosa promenade. Travel from the centre by public transport and return when you wish: there is no need to walk here from the City of Arts.

DAY 4

L’Albufera, a separate day

Plan the outward and return journey before leaving. El Palmar, walks and viewpoints are not one single stop: choose a specific plan. Boat trips are optional and depend on availability and weather.

1. Albufera

The natural park deserves its own journey from the city. Choose a specific viewpoint or walk and plan your return; the map pin is a general location, not a booked boat departure point.
