Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Valencia. The City of Arts and Sciences looks like a film set: white arches, blue pools, the dome of the planetarium. Children run along the water, and a playground in the Turia Park is close by. Today a walk around the outside is enough. In the evening the buildings are reflected in the water, which is an especially beautiful moment.

Day 2: L’Oceanogràfic. The Oceanogràfic is a large aquarium, with sharks, dolphins and penguins. The paths are flat, shade is often available, and children experience different ocean zones. Plan a whole day and take a lunch break on site. Tired children enjoy the underwater tunnels, where fish swim over their heads.

Day 3: Mercat Central. The Mercat Central is a market hall with an Art Nouveau roof, colourful with fruit, fish and ham. Children marvel at the seafood, adults at the aromas. Buy oranges or horchata to try, but avoid the lunchtime rush. Afterwards you stroll through the old town to the Plaza de la Virgen, where pigeons and fountains await.

Day 4: Parque Natural de la Albufera. The Albufera is a lake south of the city, surrounded by rice fields. A boat trip takes you across the water in quiet boats at sunset. Children see water birds and herons. The area is considered the origin of paella, so try the rice on the spot. It is best to pack a hat and mosquito repellent. The Serranos Tower can be climbed on another day.

Day 5: Valencia Cathedral. The cathedral holds the Holy Grail of legend, and the Miguelete tower offers a view over the rooftops. The climb has many steps and suits school-age children. Little ones you can leave waiting with an ice cream on the square below. The Plaza de la Reina next door has shade and cafés, ideal for a breather after the visit.

Day 6: Platja de València. Today is a beach day. The Platja de València lies close to the centre, with broad sand and a promenade. Further south awaits Platja del Saler, quieter and lined with dunes. Both slope gently into the water. Bring parasols and provisions, because shade is scarce. In the evening you travel back tired and content.

Day 7: Farewell to Valencia. The Las Arenas Balneario Resort lies on the beach promenade, with a view of the sea. There the last morning can begin at a leisurely pace: a walk on the sand, feet in the water, breakfast by the sea. Children collect shells to take home. If you are leaving, allow time for the transfer and treat yourself to one more horchata.
