If you love architecture, you can't miss out on this free tour of the City of Arts and Sciences, in which we'll admire the exterior of the main buildings of this great cultural complex in Valencia, located in the old Turia riverbed.
Tour Details
We'll meet at the indicated time at the entrance of the CaixaForum Valencia, located in the L'Agora building, where we'll begin our free tour of the City of Arts and Sciences. Are you ready to discover one of Valencia's most iconic landmarks?
Along the route, we'll view the main areas of this complex, designed by renowned architects Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, from the outside. First, we'll visit the Umbracle garden and cross the Puente de l'Assut de l'Or bridge.
This footbridge connects two of the most futuristic buildings in the complex: the Ágora, which houses the CaixaForum Valencia museum, and the Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe.
We'll continue our route, visiting the lobby of the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, whose architecture is inspired by the skeleton of a dinosaur. Incredible, right?
We'll also admire the curious eye-shaped appearance of the Hemisfèric, which houses a 3D IMAX cinema. The next stop will be at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, home to Valencia's opera house.
Finally, after a 2-hour tour, we'll conclude the free tour at the Rosaleda Garden, where we'll enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the City of Arts and Sciences.
Group Size
This free tour doesn't admit groups of more than 6 people, even if they book the activity separately. If you're part of a larger group, we recommend booking our private tour of Valencia, in which you can do the same visit with a guide just for you.
