Discover one of Valencia’s most iconic spaces with our Free Tour of the City of Arts and Sciences. On this 2-hour tour, we will explore the impressive architecture of Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, while revealing the stories and curiosities that make this complex a world-renowned landmark.
We begin by exploring Caixaforum, a multifunctional cultural centre located in the Ágora building. We will discover how this space connects science, art and community from the heart of the complex.
Next, we ascend to the L’Assut d’Or zebra crossing, where you will have an exceptional view of the heart of the complex and the Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe. Here we will tell you about its concept, its relationship with nature and the marine elements that inspire it. We will continue our tour to the Astronomical Garden, from where you can see the outline of the Umbracle. We will explain how this garden promenade articulates nature and art within the complex, and its role as a viewpoint and green lung.
We will descend to the Príncipe Felipe Museum, with its architecture inspired by the skeleton of a dinosaur, and admire the striking structure of the Hemisfèric, the eye of Valencia. The route will also take us to the majestic Palau de les Arts, the city’s opera house, where art and modernity merge.
Did you know that the City of Arts and Sciences has been the setting for numerous film productions? Its futuristic aesthetic has made it the ideal backdrop for films such as Disney’s Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney, and series such as Westworld.
We will end our tour in the Rose Garden, an ideal spot to reflect on the evolution of this space while enjoying a wonderful panoramic view of the City of Arts.
