✈️ Getting there

VLCValencia Airport (Aeropuerto de Valencia)
📍 9 km⏱ 25 min🚇 Metro🚌 Bus🚕 Taxi🚌 Uber

Metro line 3 or 5 runs directly from the airport to the city centre (Xàtiva/Colón stations) in about 25 minutes — a single ticket costs €1.50 with a rechargeable card (€3.90 without). Far cheaper and faster than a taxi (€20-25).

A compact, well-organised mid-size airport served by Ryanair, Vueling, easyJet and Iberia — never feels overwhelming, and connections to the metro are right inside the terminal.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Valencia — beyond the tourist trail.

🥘Eat paella at La Pepica on the Malvarrosa beachfront — order the arroz a banda (rice cooked in fish stock, served with aioli). Go for Sunday lunch, when Valencians themselves eat here. Avoid anywhere near the cathedral that has photos on the menu.
🏛️Visit the Mercado Central right when it opens at 8am — vendors are friendliest then, the produce is freshest, and you can grab a coffee and a farton pastry at the bar inside before the tourist rush hits at 10am.
🌊Cycle the Turia park (it's free) from the Torres de Serranos medieval gate all the way to the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias — rent a Valenbisi city bike for €1/day with a transit card. The park is completely car-free and locals use it like a highway.
🍊Take the tram (line 4) from Pont de Fusta to El Palmar village in the Albufera nature reserve — the lagoon where paella was actually born. Rent a flat-bottomed boat for €10 and watch the rice fields at sunset. Skip the tourist buses.
🎨The IVAM (Institut Valencià d'Art Modern) is free on Sundays and consistently has better contemporary shows than much larger museums. Check their programme online — they rotate frequently and often host international artists who haven't hit Madrid yet.
