Spend a full day at Oceanogràfic in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, exploring 500 species and Europe’s longest underwater tunnel.
“Everything was great, it's worth spending the money to see these amazing animals”
Ride Valencia’s hop-on hop-off bus for 24 or 48 hours, 17 stops, and a multilingual audio guide to plan your sights at ease.
“The 1st bus we got on you could barely hear the audio & the 2nd bus was louder but only one port of the 2 seats worked. There is no queuing system so although we arrived at our stop 1st a group of 10-15 students were let on 1st, despite arriving after the rest of the queue of approx 20-30 others. They then sat on single seats .. can’t help selfish people!! The tour itself was great value for money & we enjoyed it.”

Small-group Valencia Old Town walk, then a full tapas and paella meal with regional wines in a historic monument. English guide, 4 hours.
“Amazing experience. Not at all crowded or rushed. Great food. Plenty of wine. Relaxed and spacious atmosphere. The guide had a true passion for Valencia and the food and wine. It seemed like it wasn't a mere job for her, but more of a way to share passion for her culture.”
Valencia combo ticket for Oceanogràfic, Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, and Hemisfèric 3D cinema at the City of Arts and Sciences.
