3 days in Valencia
with your family
Discover Valencia at your own pace: history, beach, nature and outstanding food — without the stress.
Historic Valencia
Old town, central market & first stroll
The historic heart
Start in the old town: everything is close, easy on foot and full of atmosphere.
One of the most beautiful markets in Europe. Perfect for kids to discover local flavours, fruit, pastries and Valencian specialities.
UNESCO World Heritage Site right next to the Market. Include it in the same walk without any extra effort.
A relaxed area to stroll, take photos and grab a drink. The architecture is worth a visit even from outside.
El Carmen
Explore the streets of El Carmen, one of Valencia's most charming neighbourhoods.
A quick stop for photos and a bit of history. Great for younger travellers.
Perfect for a quiet afternoon, especially if the kids need a break.
Dinner near your accommodation
First night: keep it simple. After travelling and walking all day, dinner close by or takeaway to the apartment is the best call.
If you're in an apartment, pick up breakfast and essentials from a supermarket or local market. It makes the whole trip much easier.

Tips for a family trip to Valencia
Don't overload the itinerary
Valencia is best enjoyed slowly. One main activity in the morning and something more relaxed in the afternoon.
Use the Turia Gardens
It's the easiest family route. It connects different parts of the city with plenty of space to move around.
Book key attractions online
For the Oceanogràfic, buying tickets online saves time and avoids queues, especially during peak season.
Stay in an apartment
More freedom: breakfast at home, afternoon nap, laundry done — and a more comfortable routine for the whole family.
