Overview
Most visitors discover Valencia through its medieval streets and historic monuments. But beyond the old town lies another story—a story of political change, urban transformation, football, architecture, and one of Europe's most remarkable city reinventions.
Join us for a walk through modern Valencia and explore the events that shaped the city throughout the twentieth century. From the peaceful Viveros Gardens and the grand Avenida de Blasco Ibáñez to the iconic Mestalla Stadium, we'll uncover how Valencia experienced dictatorship, civil war, democracy, and rapid urban growth.
Along the way, discover elegant landmarks such as the Exhibition Palace, the Palace of Justice, and the beautiful Colón Market. We'll also explore the Turia Gardens, a vast green park created in the former riverbed of the Turia—a powerful symbol of Valencia's ability to reinvent itself.
This tour is perfect for travellers who want to go beyond the postcard image of Valencia and understand the city's modern history, identity, and transformation.
