Itinerary

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 will start at the Umbracle, an elevated garden with panoramic views, before crossing the imposing l’Assut de l’Or bridge, which connects two of the most futuristic buildings in the complex: the Ágora, now Caixaforum, a vibrant cultural space, and the Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe.

We will delve into the fascinating world of science at the Príncipe Felipe Museum, with its architecture inspired by a dinosaur skeleton, 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.

Join us on this journey where architecture, science and culture come together to offer you a unique experience.

Hey Andrés Thanks for your recomendaciones! Por los libros me acordé de uno con lo cual se me inició la afición del street art valenciano: Textura: Valencia Street Art - Tapa dura Luz A. Martín de 2009 Ya me dirás si lo conoces y/o te ha dado cierta ilusión ;) Saludos Julian (instagram: opa_joki3000)

Hoy hemos hecho un tour con Andres sobre el arte urbano en las calles del centro. Nos ha encantado, un acierto seguro. El freetour ha durado 2h30 pero se ha hecho tan ameno que las horas nos han pasado volando. Muchas gracias por toda la atención Andres y lo recomendaría al ciento por ciento.
