Valencia is hands down one of the best cities I have visited in the world, I love it as much as Buenos Aires! The people are incredibly friendly, and it has plenty to offer for everyone. What's more, its so accessible. If arriving by plane you can hop straight on the Metro which will take you right into the centre of town in about 20 minutes - and this metro isn't like the London underground, it's clean, modern and rarely uncomfortably packed. However, opting for a taxi will only set you back around 15-20 euros depending on traffic. Valencia has it all - nightlife, shopping, beach, things for the kids. If you're planning a night on the town ...

It is a nice area to have an ice cream and just relax, there is also a playground ...

Having lived in Valencia for the past 7 years, not once have I been disappointed with what it has to offer. Cultural and bubbly, with great architecture as you can see from the picture, and friendly people, I recommend a weekend away here as there is never nothing to do. The Hemisferic at the Museum of the Arts and the Sciences is one of the greatest attractions there, only about a 20 minute walk from the lovely port area of Valencia, which has recently been rennovated for the hosting of the famous Americas Cup. For those of you who prefer a more livly holiday, the clubs in Valencia do not fall short. Home to "Pacha Valencia" and many ...
