Another day: gardens and modern architecture

Choose a section of the Turia Gardens and continue towards the City of Arts and Sciences. There is no need to walk the entire garden at once. Exploring the outdoor spaces and entering the Oceanogràfic, science museum or Hemisfèric are different plans; check individual and combined tickets before buying.

Plan a manageable day

Children and changing weather

With children, combine a short walk with one main visit. In hot weather, allow for breaks instead of making the entire Turia Gardens a compulsory walk.

Getting around

Check maps and tickets with Metrovalencia. Confirm zones, airport coverage and service notices for your travel date.
