Overview
Discover the historic heart of Valencia on an entertaining tour that begins at the impressive Serranos Towers, one of the city’s best-preserved medieval monuments. From this iconic gateway, we’ll enter the Old Town and journey through more than 2,000 years of history, exploring Valencia’s Roman, Islamic, medieval, and Christian heritage.
Our tour will take us through the charming streets of the historic center to the Plaza de la Virgen, where we’ll discover the origins of Valencia and the significance of the Virgin of the Forsaken. Next, we’ll admire the exterior of Valencia Cathedral and continue on to Plaza de la Reina, where we’ll learn about the city’s transformation over the centuries.
Next, we’ll visit the magnificent Silk Exchange (Lonja de la Seda), designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’ll explore Valencia’s golden age, its silk trade, and its importance as a commercial hub of the Mediterranean.
Finally, we’ll stop by the Central Market, where we’ll discuss the local cuisine, paella, oranges, and horchata, before ending our tour at Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
