Build my Valencia planAbout Valencia
City overview
Valencia is a Mediterranean city of orange trees, paella, Gothic gates, market halls, Turia Gardens, Calatrava architecture, beaches, and the huge Fallas festival. Month specificity is essential because March festival pressure, summer beach heat, winter mildness, and autumn storm risk create very different visitor plans.
Food & drink
Valencia is the home base for paella Valenciana, arroz a banda, fideua, all i pebre, horchata with fartons, Central Market grazing, and long rice lunches near the beach or Albufera. Book rice restaurants for lunch rather than dinner, especially on weekends and during Fallas.
