Valencia Full-Day City Tour from Costa Blanca

Discover Valencia's wonderful blend of old and new on this fascinating tour of the city's art and history. Visit 2 museums—one dedicated to the famous Fallas puppets and the other to the renowned ceramics industry—before exploring the city centre at your leisure.

Your tour of Valencian heritage begins at the Fallas Museum, an exhibition of the Styrofoam puppets used in the annual festival. While you stroll around the display, pick out your favourite colourfully decorated caricatures.

At the National Ceramics Museum, see some fine examples of the proud history of ceramic production the city has had for centuries. Housed inside a beautiful ornate building that befits a collection of this quality, the vast array of pottery and tile work is a sight to behold. Then your guide leaves you in the centre of town and you are free to explore on your own.

With majestic palaces, a grand cathedral, medieval shopping districts and old markets, the city has many sites to uncover. In Valencia, the home of paella, delve into the lively restaurant scene in one of the buzzing squares before finishing at the City of Arts and Sciences—a vast futuristic cultural complex that serves as a symbol of the city and the region.
