Best of Valencia
Valencia got its name from the Romans in 138BC, in recognition of the bravery of its soldiers (“valentia” means bravery or valor in Latin).
The brave coastal city — Spain’s third largest — is home to a host of fabulous architecture, from medieval and Gothic to art nouveau and ultra-modern. Your driver will take you around the marina and into the city center, where you’ll see the sights that have made Valencia famous, including its perfectly circular bullring, North Station, and Mercado Central, the largest market in Europe. Wrap things up with an optional walk to the cathedral before heading back to the port.
