(Translated by Google) I went today with a school to do a route with activities and the truth is that everything is very nice, BUT we had two instructors as guides, the youngest one was charming, but we were unlucky to have the oldest one, I can say with almost certainty that she is an EXCLUSIVE person!!! Let me explain: we had a girl with special educational needs, since our school is inclusive and I have had to spend 4 hours with her being cold alone, due to poor management by the monitor, since, it has caused, (I would like to think that unintentionally, although she has not given me that impression, due to her response); that the girl became deregulated in such a way, just by leaving a line of primary school children in the middle of the mountain and overtaking three or four children, while I followed her on the other side of the line, observing and giving her a little autonomy, to which I told the monitor, who wanted to go further ahead, her response was “well, you take care of her!!!!” in bad ways, we had to go ahead because it was clear that we were in the way, so it was displaced and it took them a while to arrive, the 30m that we had moved forward became deregularized. , and she only asked crying that she wanted a bus and mom, she has been like that for the four hours until we left to go back home, I don't know the monitor's name, but she can think and reconsider, since with that attitude, she shouldn't work with children, it makes me ashamed and very sad that there are still people like her. (Original) He ido hoy con un colegio a hacer una ruta con actividades y la verdad es muy bonito todo, PERO teníamos dos monitoras como guías, la más jovencita un encanto, pero hemos tenido la mala suerte de que nos tocara la más mayor, puedo decir a ciencia casi cierta que es una persona EXCLUSIVA!!! Me explico: llevábamos una niña con necesidades Educativas especiales, ya Que nuestro colegio es inclusivo y he tenido q estar 4h con ella pasando frío solas, por una mala gestión de la monitora, ya que, ha provocado, (me gustaría pensar que sin querer, aunque no me ha dado esa impresión, por su contestación); que la niña se desregulara de tal manera, solo por salirse de una fila de niños de primaria en pleno monte y adelantar a tres o cuatro niños, mientras yo la seguía por el otro lado de La fila observando y dandole un poco de autonomía, a lo q le he dicho a la monitora, que quería ir más por delante, su contestación ha sido “pues la cuidas!!!!” de malas maneras , nos hemos tenido que adelantar porque estaba claro que molestábamos, a lo q se ha visto desplazada y tardaban en llegar, los 30m q habíamos adelantado, se desrregularizafo , y solo pedía llorando que quería autobús y mamá, así ha estado durante las cuatro horas que faltaban para irnos de vuelta a casa, no se el nombre de la monitora, pero ya puede pensar y recapacitar, ya que con esa actitud, no debería trabajar con niños, me da vergüenza y mucha tristeza, que aun quede gente como ella.

Fuente de los Baños

Thermal baths
Hot Springs & Geysers
Fuente de los Baños is a collection of thermal springs located in a river gorge surrounded by lush greenery. The river features stone beaches and offers opportunities for swimming in its warm blue-green waters. The area has both shallow and deep sections with rocky or sandy bottoms, as well as other pools along the valley. Visitors are advised to bring sandals and a blanket due to the gravelly or grassy terrain around the pools.
Very beautiful park! Make sure to get your own food cause the restaurant serves mostly bread with very small amount of filling. Drinking water from springs is available.
Hassan G — Google review
Just an hour away you find this beautiful natural river. The waters stay a consistent 77 degrees throughout the year. In the summer it feels cool and refreshing. In the winter it feels like a hot tub, although you will only find the tourists enjoying these waters in the winter months. Parking is severely limited here, so if you are making the journey in a rental car be prepared to park in town and make the walk.

Really nice, relaxing experience. Clear and chill water, rich in magnesium. There is a restaurant as well. There are free changinging cabins and toilets. Dogs are not allowed to the beach, bathing them is explecitly forbidden as well. There are some, but limited parking spot right at the entrance. Parking is not free.

Montanejos Baths Review I recently visited the Montanejos hot springs in Spain, and what a disappointment it turned out to be. Five years ago, this was a perfect, serene spot with crystal-clear river water and free access that made it a hidden gem. Now, it's become a cash grab with declining quality. The river water was shockingly white and murky, as if contaminated with floating debris—unusual for a flowing river that should be pristine. I attached pictures to show just how dirty it looked; it's not the inviting blue we expect. Worse are the escalating costs. They've blocked all free roadside parking with pillars, forcing you into their paid lot at €1 per 30 minutes—€8 for just 4 hours! Then, add €4.50 entrance per person. For what? Neglected facilities and polluted water? Spain seems to be turning into a place where you pay stupid prices for basics, and the money goes nowhere. It's worsened every year since my last visit. Not worth the trip anymore—skip it and find a better free alternative. 1/5 stars.
Virgiorix — Google review
I saw videos and photos of this place for months and I’m happy to say it DID NOT disappoint. So relaxing, wonderful water, a lot of beautiful dragonflies around the water, we had a great time. Paid Parking!!
Teal — Google review
We have mixed feelings 😂 We walked away saying we were happy we stopped because we like to see different places, but we were also happy we didn’t make a special trip to the area just to visit it because it definitely would’ve been more disappointing if that were the case. It is definitely beautiful and an experience to swim in the river. Water isn’t warm, that’s for sure. Now that it’s popular on the internet it’s full of people. €4,50 per adult and €3,50 per kid to enter (9:00-19:00)—I recommend parking not at this parking lot but further on and across a little bridge—this parking fills up fast and the other one is empty and has a beautiful walk through the valley. Parking is €1 per 30 minutes, 10€ for a full day.

Absolutely loved this, great for hiking, look for the Black caves, the thermal pools are so nice, the water towards the cave are cooler but the other side the water is warmer, a must see.

Fuente de los Baños is a stunning natural gem! The serene river, surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, creates a breathtaking backdrop. The area appears well-maintained, with facilities like restrooms, making it a convenient spot for visitors. The variety of weather conditions captured in the photos—rainy and sunny—highlights its year-round beauty. Perfect for a peaceful getaway or a family adventure! PROTIP 1: YOU MUST PAY FOR PARKING, or you will receive a citation. I was 44€, no one told me anything about parking, as I mistakenly assumed parking was included in the park fee: 4.50€/adult, 3.50€ for children. PROTIP 2: there are life guards on duty who will enforce any rules you see at the kiosk where you pay. The rules only seem to apply between the yellow posts near a small bridge on the right and the yellow buoys on the left toward the canyon wall.

Fantastic place to visit, brilliant variety of murals and real skill on show. Shame the town doesn’t have a Moho parking spot as we’d have stayed overnight and eaten/drink in the town. There’s plenty of spaces they could set one up! The museo is great, get a map and explore!

Village in the middle of Castellon called Fanzara with lots and lots of murals painted on the walls. Only 300 people live here. Worth a visit.
John G — Google review
Fantastic use of urban art, in an isolated village in the Sierra De Espadan. Completely free to visit and open all year round, MIAU, its shop/museum and the annual festival are all run by volunteers who live in the town. They never intended it to become what it has... MIAU was a unifying idea which became a solution to the sociocultural split that opened up in the town some eight years ago, over a proposed toxic waste plant which in the end was cancelled but the social scars remained. While you are up there, combine the visit with a hike around the gorgeous scenery around the sierras, followed by lunch and a cold beer in the Bar D'Abajo.

Jared S — Google review
This castle is located in the upper side of the old town in Vilafamés, a medieval town in Castelló Region, in Spain. It was built between 12th and 14th centuries, but it was remodelated in 19th century. In fact the main tower was built then. Nowadays, you can walk inside the castle but unfortunately it was not very well preserved, so you can see some walls and the main tower, and from here very nice views of the surroundings (town and mountains). Entrance is free. The town itself has plenty of drinking water fontaines available and free parking.
Miriam O — Google review
Villafamés is a beautiful town that is very enjoyable to walk. We arrived at midday and we had to walk from the town square up to the castle. On the top the castle ruins offers a stunning view. The town houses are made by natural materials (stone, wood) and are beautiful. The only thing i did not liked was that the panoramic view is ruined by a industrial park.
Omar L — Google review
We got there because we read that Villafames is one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Well, I have been to most parts of Spain and this is not even close to reality. It is just another beautiful village with a castle and a view. Nothing extraordinary, it could be worth the walking around if it is on your way but I wouldnt drive the extra km just to get there if it wasn't on my way.

(Translated by Google) The Plaza Mayor of Castellón de la Plana is the civic, commercial, and religious heart of the city. It is one of the busiest and most emblematic spots, where the most important institutional and monumental buildings converge. The plaza is entirely pedestrianized, making it a vibrant meeting place. 🏛️ Monuments and Buildings of Interest The Plaza Mayor is surrounded by a monumental complex that spans centuries of history and architectural styles: Co-cathedral of Santa María la Mayor: It is the city's main religious temple. Seat of the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. El Fadrí (Bell Tower): The bell tower of the Co-cathedral, but it is a freestanding structure (separate from the main church). It is one of the undisputed symbols of Castellón. Construction began in 1440. Town Hall: The most politically important building in the city. It is notable for its Renaissance-style façade with features such as the porch with five arches and Corinthian pilasters. It houses collections of paintings by artists from Castellón. Central Market: Located on the south side of the square, this 1940s building is the city's main food market. Its façade and interior structure are of great interest. (Original) La Plaza Mayor de Castellón de la Plana es el corazón cívico, comercial y religioso de la ciudad. Es uno de los puntos más concurridos y emblemáticos, y en ella convergen los edificios institucionales y monumentales más importantes. La plaza es completamente peatonal, lo que la convierte en un espacio vibrante de encuentro. 🏛️ Monumentos y Edificios de Interés La Plaza Mayor está rodeada por un conjunto monumental que abarca siglos de historia y estilos arquitectónicos: Concatedral de Santa María la Mayor: Es el principal templo religioso de la ciudad. Sede del Obispado de Segorbe-Castellón. El Fadrí (Torre Campanario): La torre-campanario de la Concatedral, pero es una estructura exenta (separada) del templo. Es uno de los símbolos indiscutibles de Castellón. Sus obras comenzaron en 1440. Casa Consistorial (Ayuntamiento): El edificio más importante a nivel político de la ciudad. Destaca por su fachada de estilo renacentista con elementos como el porche con cinco arcos y pilastras corintias. Alberga colecciones de pintura de autores castellonenses. Mercado Central: Ubicado en el lado sur de la plaza, este edificio de los años 40 es el principal centro de abastos de la ciudad. Su fachada y estructura interior son de gran interés.

Coves de Sant Josep

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Coves de Sant Josep offers guided boat trips and hikes through a subterranean river that dates back to the Triassic era, making it the longest in Europe. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute leisurely boat ride along the underground river, covering approximately 800 meters. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, guests will explore various rooms within the caves, including the Bat Room, Dianas Lake, Siphon Gallery, Dry Zone, and Cathedral.
Great find! We couldn’t buy tickets online directly as they were sold out for weeks. I really wanted to go so we nearly paid €50+ euro’s per head but we didn’t need transfers as we had a rental car and was also travelling on from Valencia to Barcelona. In the end we was late leaving the Vila so didn’t book the excursion tour. We decided to go and see if we could get tickets in person. We were very lucky as got the last 4 tickets for the day. (It was around 12.45.pm) we went and had a nice slow lunch then went and got an icecream. We then had a look around the tourist shops and drove to the top of the mountain to check out the views. Then it was time to go back and go in the caves. They were fantastic. I would have loved to of been able to take more pictures though. Guide didn’t speak lots of English but she tried. Majority was only in Spanish. Didn’t help that when she did speak in English there was another family that was so loud you couldn’t tell what the lovely guide was saying. Facilities; lots of nice restaurants and food, clean toilets small kids play park. Shops and market stalls.
Lynsey R — Google review
Booked online and had a great time! Free parking available, and some are even covered. There are some bathrooms right next to the parking lot. On the way to the cove entrance, you’ll pass many stores, restaurants, snacks, so plenty of options to eat/shop. The tour itself was about 50 minutes. First part is a short boat ride for about 10-15 minutes, then you get off and walk a bit thru the cave for another 10-15 minutes, and then get on the same boat for the last part back. You can only take photos/videos towards the end, for about 5-10 minutes. The guide who is rowing the boat will let you know when you can use your phones. Water is mostly clear and shallow (1-2 meters deep). There are a few sections where the water goes deeper (around 11 meters) but the boat doesn’t pass on top of it. You do share the boat with other random people. Overall it was fun but mostly relaxing and uneventful. Wouldn’t do it a second time!

Well managed site and surrounding, a very unique experience. There are multiple restautants and gift shops around as well. Tickets can be purchased on site, tours start frequently, there are a lot of guides. The water inside the cave was very clear, the tour starts off with a 5-10 minute boat ride in the caves, continues with 10 minute walk, and ends with another boat ride. The boats had one tour guide each, and could fit about 10-14 people. The guide was in the back and pushed the boat forward like a Gondola, with a long wood. The only downside was that the guide spoke very little English. There is plenty of free parking outside.

This was so much fun! You are allowed to take pictures but only when permitted at one point in the boat trip. I would've liked to spend more time in the boat just checking out the caves but you are moved through the cave waters by a guide. In an area filled with ancient ruins and such old history, it's crazy to think they just found these caves in the middle of the 20th century. They were truly explored only in the 1960s. They still don't know how big it is, where it starts, and where it ends. Worth the hour's trip from Valencia to visit.

We went with Valencia&Go and the experience was smooth and amazing. The boat guide was a character! Overall it was super fun, very little waiting times and the area surrounding it is also very pretty. I warmly recommend to go

The Caves of Saint Josep, I came here with a large group from our cruise ship for the day, we had a timed entry into the San Jose Caves. Each boat holds about 12 people and we went slowly through the water while the guide pointed out various formations. There was a short walkway too, in the middle of the tour. This is said to be "Europe's longest navigable underground river", which is the unique reason I took the tour! It was quite enjoyable and I can recommend it.
Eileen W — Google review
I came to #SanJoséCave because I was curious about the cave experience—those online videos looked super eye-catching, and hey, I’d never done it before. Figured it was time to tick it off the list. After a long bus ride, here’s how it went: 1️⃣ Not as stunning as expected—colors were pretty dull 2️⃣ Most of the tour felt rushed and not very photo-worthy 3️⃣ The journey was long and repetitive… got a bit boring 🥱 4️⃣ Some fellow boat passengers were seriously rude—taking sneaky photos and spinning around nonstop 🤬 5️⃣ Ticket price wasn’t cheap 🤑 6️⃣ Very few food options nearby ❌🥣 7️⃣ Tried to sit in their restaurant with my own snacks and got told off (even though the place was empty—guess we all know why the flies were the only customers 🪰) Bottom line: There are plenty of other places around the world with way better value for your time and money 🌍📈

Sagunto Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Sagunto Castle, located about 25 kilometers north of Valencia, is a historic site with origins dating back to the Iberian period. The castle offers sprawling remains and partly-restored structures such as the Roman theatre, Gothic architecture, and the old Jewish quarter. The ancient fortification's walls stretch for about a kilometer and provide stunning views over the town and sea.
Honestly, when I came to Valencia I wasn’t really looking into castles nearby. But when I found out about this one, it was the first place I went. I can’t even put into words how much I loved it. For its age, it’s incredibly well preserved. I’m not sure about if there always no tickets needed. But when I was there the entrance was free. We visited during the day and, for most of the time, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves. So because of that, besides the amazing views and the historical value, we also took a bunch of fun photos. In short – a wonderful place!
Andrew H — Google review
While it’s a bit of an uphill hike, it is well worth it to get to the top and enjoy the magnificent 360-degree view of the town below. We stopped by the main visitor centre and were greeted by the staff who explained the site’s long history and the best routes to follow to explore the property.
Terence L — Google review
This is actually two castles on the two peaks of the spur with 2km of walls linking them. They have evolved from Iberian, through Roman and Islamic fortifications and then further improvements in each century, culminating in machine gun bunkers being built in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. We saw the Jewish necropolis, built into the hillside as we climbed and then entered through the gates into the castle itself to find that it was actually closed and only the information centre was open. This was free and was very good, we probably spent 30 minutes learning about the history of the site and its occupants as well as watching an English language film. I have no idea when the castle itself will reopen and can't see any definite information online.

How do you even rate a castle? It was awesome. There are so many areas to check out and hike around. Very cool to see parts of a structure so old that it's basically random sized rocks cemented together.

The castle was impressive! The views were breathtaking, parts of the castle were very well preserved/restored, and it's amazing to think how much history has happened here. The guy at the entrance was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle and he can tell you the history in English as well. I really recommend a visit. It was quite near the train station and it was free to enter.

Bioparc Valencia

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Bioparc Valencia is a unique zoo that houses nearly a thousand animals from 150 different African species. The park features specially designed habitats to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals, offering visitors an immersive experience in various natural habitats. From vast savannas to dense forests, visitors can observe antelopes, giraffes, rhinoceroses, hyenas, buffaloes, leopards, gorillas, and elephants in recreated wild environments.
This is by far the best zoo I’ve visited in a long time! The viewing experience is excellent. Every animal can be seen clearly from multiple angles, and the enclosures are beautifully designed. One small improvement would be to include more animals and represent more regions. Overall, an amazing experience!
Hussain R — Google review
I really enjoyed visiting this zoo! The place is huge and very well kept, with an amazing variety of animals — including some really rare and beautiful species. You can tell the animals are well cared for, and the enclosures are clean and spacious. The only downside is the ticket price — it’s a bit expensive, especially for families. But overall, it’s a great place to spend a few hours, relax, and see lots of incredible animals. Definitely worth visiting!
Артур — Google review
One of the nicest zoos we ever visited. Even though it might look small, we spent great day there. Great variety of animals, the hippo feeding was amazing to see. The animals seem happy and very well cared for. In comparison with other zoos is this one alot of them share the space (like giraffes, ostriches, goats, birds) which gives a much more natural feeling, no cages, no minuscule enclosures. We were just in time for the "Circle of life" show where birds were flying around the arena which was very cool. Only downside was that some people were smoking even if its prohibited Even the restaurant has an amazing view to the animal enclosures. Overall great experience, even though a bit pricey it's definitely worth.

Amazing bioparc! Spent a day here while traveling in Valencia and so glad i did. Wonderfully laid out, not too busy, and great keeper talks given in spanish, catalan and english in the different areas of the park. Enjoyed the lunch meal deal in the cafeteria as well, great traditional paella for the cost.
Lexie P — Google review
Fantastic experience for everyone who want to enjoy a day (takes more than a couple of hours for a decent tour) with animals. I like that it's not you classic (and sad) Zoo, here animals have a good amount of space and are nourished and looked after. There is great variety and there are multiple places where you can rest and relax. The ticket price is not cheap, but it's something you can expect to keep those animals in the best possible conditions.
Fabrizio D — Google review
I'm thrilled with this biopark! The animals are cage-free, in conditions that are close to real life. There are waterfalls, ponds, lots of trees and grass, and rock formations. The animals are clean, well-fed, and look healthy and calm. The animals live as if on islands that you can walk around on all sides. I've never seen anything like this with the opportunity to see wild animals so close. Any zoo is still captivity, but this the best that can be in such conditions. The staff is friendly and professional, and there are tours available. I was especially impressed by the area with the lemurs, who just run around next to you, without cages. Elephants, hippos, giraffes, lions, a leopard, turtles, monkeys, many large and small animals, and birds. We wish the biopark prosperity and healthy visitors.
Мария В — Google review
So much fun! Only £25 each for adults. Purchased online the day before and didn’t have to line up like the rest. Able to just walk in. The enclosures were so nicely done, clean and the animals appeared well looked after. Would recommend the hippo feeding which is free to watch. The bird show is something I wouldn’t rave about and if you’re short on time give it a miss. Otherwise so fun. They have an open enclosure where the lemurs reside.
Sarah P — Google review
Very interesting walk-through zoo. Quite easy to reach by bus. Can easily spend a good three quarters of a day walking through and having fun with family. In order to enter it is recommended that you buy the tickets online before, otherwise you will end up waiting for half an hour to three quarters of an hour. The issue was not the long queue as much as disorganisation by the personnel selling / scanning tickets. They could have done a lot more and faster if they opened one or two more selling stations and organised the queues a bit more (people were skipping queue and it was not nice!). Zoo is recommended for families of all ages but especially for children. If you go do not miss the AR underwater experience. It is a must for circa Euro 5 (each person). Quite original and good. The only downside was the buying of slushy drinks from the park (actaully from all over Valencia!). You had to buy a refillable cup. Whilst I understand this option to reduce plastic waste, the probability is that you cannot keep on going around Valencia with the cup to refill each time and this custom of selling slushy with cup seems to be all over the city. So you either buy a cup each time (which is not environmentally and financially friendly) or opt for another drink. The rest was all positive and very recommended. The souvenir shop was ok but could do with a good upgrade of original products to sell.

La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia

Mentioned on 
+81 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia, also known as the Silk Exchange, is a grandiose building that showcases the city's Medieval wealth through intricate stonework and carvings. It was once a symbol of Valencia's power during its economic boom in the 14th to 16th centuries due to silk production. The Merchant's Hall within the building is considered a magnificent jewel with its unique design featuring columns resembling palm trees and a ceiling meant to evoke a starry sky.
A beautiful UNESCO world heritage site in the centre of València. Very helpful staff and considering its UNESCO - there was no queues and no waiting times. We were given the option of an audio guide which we took. Very easy audio equipment to use, including the map, which directs you from around the building and even brings you on the outside of the building too! Would definitely recommend to spend an hour here.
Josh M — Google review
A fascinating structure and unique interior architecture especially the columns in the main hall that support the floor. The ancient trading place mainly for the Silk trading auction and meetings is a great place to visit. The courtyard houses rare plants and orange trees with with seating to relax and enjoy the view.
Mas — Google review
Stunning architecture! La Lonja is more than just a pretty building… its architecture and internal design reflect its commercial, juridical, and symbolic roles. It is a monumental civil (i.e. non-religious) Gothic building in the old city of Valencia. It was built between 1482 and 1533, though parts (or phases) extended a bit later. It was also declared a “Monumento Nacional” in 1931 and later (in 1996) a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its primary historical purpose was as a place of commerce and trading • especially for silk (hence the name) • but also more broadly as a mercantile and legal hub. It is a superb example of late Valencian Gothic (sometimes also called “Valencian Gothic” or “Flamboyant Gothic” in its details) in a secular building. Many internal columns are twisted / helical stone pillars (roughly 16 m tall), giving an effect sometimes likened to “ropes” or “palms.” One stronger and better-documented connection is via Luis de Santángel, a financier from Valencia. According to historical accounts, Santángel (a converso, i.e. Jewish origin turned Christian) helped to underwrite or facilitate funding for Columbus’s voyage to the Americas under the Catholic Monarchs. Because of Santángel’s support and his merchant / banking role in Valencia, some have suggested indirect connections between Valencia’s mercantile circles (like those centered around La Lonja) and the expedition. (But this does not mean Columbus worked in or used the Lonja.) Some fringe or minority theories propose that Columbus came from Valencia (or from a family of silk merchants in Valencia) rather than the more traditional view that he was from Genoa (Italy). For example, in a recent documentary and some forensic / DNA-based speculation, it has been claimed that Columbus might have been from a Jewish silk-weaving family in Valencia, and that he concealed his origin to avoid persecution under the Inquisition. However, many historians and geneticists remain skeptical of these claims, finding them insufficiently substantiated. Because construction of La Lonja began circa 1482–1483, while Columbus’s first voyage began in 1492, there is a temporal overlap: the new mercantile institutions and architectural expressions in Valencia were rising just as the Atlantic era began. Some narratives point out this coincidence, suggesting that Valencia was a rising trade power in the same era Columbus sailed.
Sasho K — Google review
The entry fee was a very reasonable €2 per person. You can also rent an audio tour for an additional €2.5. We saw the amazing architecture that was ahead of its time and the stunning columns and ornate details around the building. The included video presentation was worth the watch to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the building. There was a small line outside when we arrived, but it moved quickly and we were admitted to buy our tickets shortly and explored the building on our own.
Terence L — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful historic building! La Lonja de la Seda is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a must-see in Valencia. The twisting columns and vaulted ceilings are incredible, and the courtyard with orange trees is peaceful and charming. It’s well-preserved, easy to visit, and gives a real sense of the city’s rich history. Highly recommended!
Anthony C — Google review
Place was ok for about 10 minutes, however we found English audio guide boring and overcomplicated. This adds to the fact that the 4 rooms that you could enter were completely empty. We, as a group, have been to other Spanish buildings that were not only bigger but more interesting with the same price. This led to us being quite disappointed with our experience. My advice is to see for yourself without the audioguide for 15 minutes and possibly visit the central market afterwards.
Bertie W — Google review
We did our own self-guided tour with the audio phones and walked around it was great it was late October a little busy but not super crowded. So amazing and beautiful historical place to visit.
Jeff R — Google review
There's not much to say. It's a magnificent building with a history that's a must-see. Free admission with the Valencia Card. You can also purchase an audio guide, but I'm not sure it's worth it, as several rooms feature a film with English subtitles that outlines the building's history, its use, its architecture, and, for example, the history and significance of the spectacular ceiling. It's truly worth a visit.

Great experience inside the market. Lots of options to eat. Some great economic options to try paella. Unfortunately there isn't any place to sit down and eat, but that's part of the experience I guess. A definite must see on your trip to València.

The Central Market in Valencia is absolutely incredible. The building itself is stunning, with beautiful architecture and a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. Inside, the variety is endless fresh produce, spices, cheeses, baked goods, and so much more. It’s a feast for the senses, with colors, aromas, and flavors everywhere you turn. The vendors are friendly and passionate about their products, and it’s the perfect place to sample local specialties or pick up something unique. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just exploring, this market is a must-see in Valencia. Truly one of the highlights of the city.

Nice place to roam and get inspired. But nothing was calling me. I am pure veg so didn't get attracted to most of the stalls. Smell was also really strong that day. But it's nice to know that the building is having it since 100 years going on as a tradition

Very nice food market. Lots of food is repeated, but you still get a lot of variety. Much of the food is very overpriced, but I guess that's what you get at a touristy place. All the food looks nice, but I'm not sure if the quality is actually that good. Comes with parking, which is good.
Martina ( — Google review
100% worth visiting. This market is incredible. The building itself beautiful, but just to walk up and find every aisle immersing yourself in local fresh produce is a real experience. It does not feel too touristy in my opinion as you are surrounded by locals doing their daily shop. It does get busy, so go early (maybe that’s why I didn’t find it too touristy) - I loved popping by here daily

Valencia Cathedral

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia is a stunning Gothic-style cathedral that is renowned for housing the Holy Grail. Visitors can also explore the historic Miguelete tower, which offers panoramic views of the city. The cathedral is located in Valencia's city center, making it easily accessible on foot. Nearby attractions include the Plaza de la Reina, the Silk Exchange, and the Modernist Central Market.
Valencia Cathedral – A Place of Power, Peace, and History This is more than just a church — it’s a living piece of history in the heart of the city. Built on the site of a former mosque, the cathedral beautifully blends Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, and even Moorish elements. Every corner tells a different story. 🔔 Don’t miss the climb to the Miguelete Tower — the panoramic view of Valencia’s old town is absolutely breathtaking. 💎 Inside, you’ll find one of Christianity’s most sacred relics: the Holy Grail, believed by some to be the actual cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper. 🎫 There is an entrance fee, but it’s absolutely worth it — the audio guide, stunning interior, and powerful atmosphere make it unforgettable.
Marianna R — Google review
Breathtaking. That’s the word that lingers after stepping out of Valencia’s Cathedral. Few temples manage to balance grandeur, mystery, and lived history the way this one does. From the moment a visitor crosses its threshold, the space feels alive with centuries of devotion, civic pride, and Mediterranean light. Its architecture is a palimpsest of Valencia itself: Romanesque bones, Gothic ambition, Renaissance discipline, Baroque flourish—each layer revealing a chapter of the city’s identity. The soaring vaults lift the gaze almost instinctively, while the side chapels, rich but never overwhelming, draw you into quieter stories of art, faith, and patronage. And then there’s the Holy Chalice chapel, a place where symbolism and narrative converge so powerfully that even the skeptical pause. Climbing the Miguelete tower rewards anyone willing to take on the spiral steps: the view is a gift—Valencia unfolding in every direction, its rooftops, plazas, and coastline stitched together by sunlight. In all, this cathedral isn’t just beautiful; it’s meaningful. It’s one of the most remarkable cathedrals a traveler can encounter, a space that manages to be both monumental and deeply human.

Both a house of God and a home to some of the finest religious art in the world. I'd recommend getting the audio guide tour, which was both informative and very easy to follow.

What a magnificent cathedral! Even from the outside, it makes a phenomenal impression. Think it's just the facade? Try walking around it; it looks like the cathedral encompasses half the city. A huge, magnificent building, so beautiful inside that it takes your breath away. The entire interior is simple, and the altar is fantastically rich. An undeniable highlight is the audio guide, which is free with the Valencia card. Inside the cathedral is the entrance to the museum, which is multi-story, grand, and contains numerous artifacts, especially the Holy Grail.
Natalia T — Google review
🏆⛪ A Cathedral with a Real Treasure ​ The Cathedral is a history book written in stone. Although the current structure was built after the Christian Reconquista, underground you will find traces of great civilizations: fragments of an old Roman wall and relics of the Moorish era (the cathedral stands directly on the foundations of a former mosque). ​This monumental building, expanded over centuries, hides something even more valuable than architecture. The side chapel houses what is most likely "the" Holy Grail. Its history is like a movie script: sent across the Mediterranean to Spain for protection against the Romans, hidden from the Moors by monks in a mountain monastery, it finally ended up with the King of Aragon. And how did it get here? King Alfonso V pledged it as collateral for a huge loan... which he never repaid! So, the Cathedral seized the collateral. And that is how a story of a bad debt gave us access to one of Christianity's greatest relics right here in this cathedral. 🤯 ​Practical tips: 👁️ Views: Entrance to the "El Miguelete" tower is paid separately, but if you don't mind climbing 207 stairs, the panoramic view is a must. ​🗺️ OUR COSTA BLANCA TREASURE LIST: This cathedral was the crown jewel of our trip. If you are planning to visit the region, here is the list of places we visited and reviewed (look for my reviews on the map!): ​🏰 Guadalest: Castle in the rock & azure lake. ​💦 Algar Waterfalls: Refreshing nature. ​🏘️ Costa Blanca Trio: Colorful Villajoyosa, white Altea & Benidorm skyscrapers. ​🥘 Valencia: Oceanogràfic & the atmospheric Old Town. ​🎯 ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES: ​🐎 Horse Riding: An amazing ride on the dunes with Jess Pony Express in Guardamar (great for advanced riders too!). ​🏎️ Quads: Adrenaline at the lake with Costa Blanca Quad Tours.

Beautiful 2025 Jubilee Cathedral. I love going Holy Mass here every time I visit Valencia. The cathedral has impressive architecture and beautiful works of art. It is breathtaking and not to mention the Holy Chalice Chapel (which I have seen in previous visits). Holy Mass, celebrated by the bishop, was amazing and there were so many people attending from different parts of the world. This Sunday The Holy Chalice Chapel was not open for visitors and the small shop was shut also. However, there was access to the Cathedral Tower, from where you can have a panoramic view of Valencia. A wonderful sacred place to visit with so much beautiful art.

Ticket machines are dreadful - be patient - as the queue for the ticket office was worse. Apart from that great location and interesting decor… Staff were very helpful.

Beautiful old train station. I love the interior decoration; it is all covered with mozaic ornaments and paintings. On the right from the entrance there is a small hall where you can see some fantastic mozaic images giving you an idea what Valencia is famous for: silk, oranges, climate and ceramic goods. Sometimes they organize expositions in this hall as well.

Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias

Mentioned on

Science museum
Nature & Parks
The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is a cutting-edge science complex located in a beautifully landscaped park. It features a large aquarium, an IMAX cinema, and various cultural and scientific institutions.
The river that runs through Valencia was redirected, and the kilos of dry River bed have been turned into Parkland. This collection of buildings is one of the highlights of this redevelopment and iconic buildings of contemporary architecture, dedicated to the sciences and arts. The Central pools remind you that this area used to be a river And also offer relief from the heat when the wind blows across them. The collection of buildings are extraordinary and Howes and aquarium and IMAX Theatre Gardens and museums. The Bridge, which crosses the drive of the bed is also iconic and a beautiful addition to this amazing architectural area.A wonderful place to wander through and visit some of these exquisite places.

The architecture is amazing and is covered in nature. You can even see and hear parrots in the trees and it's beautiful. It's a brilliant place to walk around and explore but one thing which wasn't the best was the cost to go inside. I read other reviews and some people said how it isn't worth paying the money to go inside and I can agree with them. If you want to, your more than welcome to pay the money to go inside but I wouldn't. Overall, amazing place to go and there's a bus which goes right up to the museum which was very helpful.

We visited the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia today (October), and it was a wonderful experience even without going inside the buildings. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot, and there were fewer people around, which made it peaceful to stroll through and take photos. The modern architecture is stunning, and the reflections on the water create a beautiful, almost futuristic atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, even just to enjoy the walk and the views.

We were there on a Saturday night. It was very nice to walk around. The architecture was fascinating and the vibe was just very good. A nice place to stroll around and it was super easy to get there from the city center. And don’t forget to check out the whisper chamber! It was very cool!!!

The City of Arts and Sciences is a futuristic destination in Valencia, well worth a visit. It's a large area encompassing many buildings, of which the oceanarium is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and highly recommended. Even without tickets, it's still worth seeing the buildings from the outside, although you should be careful with the sun as the main promenades are uncovered. However, there's a garden and a park along the entire length, so I recommend exploring those paths.
Natalia T — Google review
A spectacular place where science comes to life through interactive experiences, and architecture itself becomes art. The building is stunning — futuristic, full of light, and truly one of Valencia’s modern landmarks. Exhibits are well organized and engaging for all ages, from hands-on experiments to immersive multimedia displays. A space that inspires curiosity and reminds you how beautiful knowledge can be.

Beautiful architecture and a great place to go for a stroll at any time of day. Very nice and colourful at night. Also lots of exhibits museums and Europe’s largest aquarium.
Eric S — Google review
We did the whole Combination, Museum, Cinema and the Oceanographic Park! Booked a combined ticket in advance which I would recommend! The Museum is a must for every person that’s interested in science/ the human body! We are two medstudents and we loved it but it’s definitely something children would love as well! The Movie is just an experience for the eyes, the big round screen is unique and therefore very interesting! The Seaanimals are very nice to watch. However, might be the case that they have multiple certifications but to have beluga whales in an Aquarium and Dolphines for a show, even if it isn’t as disciplined as some other shows, isn’t really acceptable. We on purpose didn’t go to the show and we read afterwards some articles which stated the show is very dolphins friendly and the circumstances are far from shows at Seaworld etc. but we heard the crowd from far and Dolphines are very intelligent and sensitive animals which is why that’s not acceptable. Just because they don’t treat the Dolphines as cruel as others, doesn’t mean it’s not cruel. And to keep them and even bigger animals, belugas, in a tank of water when normally they would wander thousands of miles in the ocean just makes me very sad. And I am aware, that they also support the ecosystem sea in a way but I would like to see at least no Dolphines and Whales in Tanks way to small for their needs. We won’t be coming back, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone going there. The only case I would go back is probably with kids, for educational purposes. However, still 3 Stars for the Cinema and the Museum.

Oceanogràfic València

Mentioned on

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Oceanogràfic is a major attraction located within the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain. It is Europe's largest marine park, featuring over 20,000 creatures from 650 different species. The aquarium showcases marine life from various ecosystems around the world, offering visitors an immersive experience through its diverse exhibits.
This place is awesome, so much things to see. I recommend take some warm clothes, as in arctic area is 17C or even colder so wearing some a jacket is a must, there are plenty of food to try, also there are 3 shows daily with dolphins, apx 20minut each, so check the time for the show. Most of the places has outer and inner parts so it is great to check the outer parts and then take elevator or stairs and check what's under the ground. Overall me and my 4yo toddler has enjoyed the the 3.5 hour long tour. It is definitely worth a try. P.S. sometimes, especially on holidays or weekends the place is crowded and the queue for the ticket is huge, so I recommend to buy tickets online as there is no difference.
Ruben T — Google review
Nice place, huge effort from the team. Great selection of animals etc. Awesome aquariums. The one from Tenerife is the leader, in my opinion. The food inside quality should be improved. The value for money is disappointing. Dishes hot in the exterior and almost frozen in the middle. The security staff should help the clients; in our case, they had long personal discussions, ignoring the visitors.
Horea — Google review
It was worth it. Truly amazing! Impressive building with aquarium and dolphin show. You should be here! I received support and guidance when I needed. If You wish to see dolphin show please make sure that you arrive 10 minutes earlier and take a seat because workers try to ensure health and safety for everyone. If you decide to eat dinner here then it's expensive and less choices. Public toilets are available here.
Guntars — Google review
The L'Oceanogràfic is one of Valencia's biggest attractions, a true showcase. The ticket price seemed high for our budget, but after entering and seeing these wonders, I realized it was a bargain. The animals look well-cared for and have plenty of space. The dolphin arena is a real gem. I felt the dolphins were happy; you could see their bond with their trainers, and the instructor focused on educating people about these magnificent animals and their health. Initially, I thought the area was small and would be a quick tour, but it turned out that the coolest aquariums and trails are underground, pleasantly cool (good for hot weather). It was amazing to see the belugas and underwater passages with sharks and other creatures overhead, within arm's reach. I felt the magic of this place the entire time, like a child. The photos capture it perfectly! You can buy a combined ticket to the facilities in the city of science, but THIS is a gem and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Natalia T — Google review
I liked the marine animals, beautiful buildings with modern architecture. Arrows on the floor were useful to help you follow a predefined route, to easily go through all the dark rooms with aquariums. I liked the call for everyone to get involved and make changes for a better planet. The dolphin show was a bit boring, a few jumps, swimming with 2 employees and that's it. I've seen better shows at dolphinariums. If you want a good seat go there with many minutes before the show.
Nico — Google review
This place was awesome. Lots of fish. We even saw whales a crocodile penguins. Jellyfish and lots of other animals and exciting things to see. I would definitely go again as you couldn’t see from the photos there is a lot to see and a lot to do it does cost. It cost us €38 per person. I don’t know what that will be for people looking at this in a few years time. But you can spend three or four hours in there easy And if you come with children, there is plenty of things for them to jump a boat undo ice cream shops. There’s a restaurant in there. There is play areas for kids as well.
Travel L — Google review
Went with the vision this would probably rate as a childrens zoo. Not at all it was amazing. Such a different perspective of the sea creatures which interacted with you as you passed along underwater tunnels. Clean, good food, exceptional staff and most of all the most hilarious penguins I've ever met. Prepare to be intrigued, delighted and entertained.
Mandy M — Google review
I recently visited Oceanogràfic in Valencia, and it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The aquarium is beautifully designed, easy to explore, and filled with an impressive variety of marine life from all around the world. Out of all the exhibits, the dolphins and sea lions were definitely the highlights of my visit. Watching the dolphins was truly unforgettable — they were energetic, playful, and clearly well-cared for, and their interactions with the trainers made the experience both educational and entertaining. The sea lions were equally captivating, with their curious personalities and lively behaviour. I could have spent hours watching them glide through the water and interact with each other. The whole place feels very immersive, and the layout allows you to get close to the animals without feeling crowded or rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-maintained and clean, from the walkways to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting as a family, a couple, or even on your own, there’s plenty to enjoy and learn. Overall, Oceanogràfic offers a wonderful mix of entertainment and education, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a memorable day out.

Gabriel E — Google review
I was able to request a guided tour the same day—sent a message through their website around 9:00 AM, and by 10:13 they had confirmed my entry time. The tour is in Spanish, but there's a short introductory video available in English. The guide spoke slowly and clearly, which was great for non-native Spanish speakers. After a quick explanation, we explored antique chocolate-making tools from the 1800s–1900s. Then came the fun part—we learned how to make the traditional *bollet* and even got to try it ourselves! The entire experience was only €4! 🤯 If you book in advance, they also offer a chocolate tasting experience for €30. Our guide was incredibly kind and even gave us tips on where to grab lunch nearby. Highly recommend visiting the Comes Chocolate Museum! 🍫✨ FYI Parking was difficult; however as you enter the town there is free public parking to the right. After driving the narrow streets and not able to find street parking, we went to the free public parking lot. It’s about 700 meters away from the museum.

Fascinating place that we just stumbled across in the area... wonderful small museum with strong chocolate aromas... you also could actually see a demonstration on how chocolate is made... still uses the same traditional methods today...the site was the original chocolate makers but now is a museum.

Wonderful family run artisan chocolate factory and museum dating back to eighteenth century. The tour took us through how chocolate was made in the old days to present day. We were offered a tasting of various types of chocolate which was lovely and also watched the ladies making bars of chocolate. Our children were given a golden ticket each just like Charlie and the chocolate factory. You can't help but buy a selection of chocolate on your way out. All of which are yummy 😋

Nice little museum that shows you the whole process of chocolate making in the region. During the tour you get to try some fresh and authentic chocolate (and cacao) with an explanation around what makes (this) chocolate so special. Try the chocolate products they sell downstairs as well, the chocolate covered Pistachio's were lovely!
Erich M — Google review
We did the tour through the museum. We started watching a short movie, about the historical process of preparing chocolate (starring the owners in historical cloths, using historical tools). Then everybody did a tour through the upper part of the museum, where a quite strange mix from chocolate related things from around the world is shown. Then we proceeded to the most interesting part, the actual preparation of chocolate. The presentation was done by a very friendly worker, and she explained everything in detail. We could also try their famous chocolate. The only disappointing part was, that only two small pieces of the same kind of chocolate was given for tasting.

Castell de Cullera

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Castle of Cullera is a restored hilltop castle dating back to the 10th century, offering scenic water views and housing a museum. Situated in the coastal town of Cullera, in Valencia, Spain, it provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The castle has historical significance as it was involved in battles and reconstructions over the centuries.
Taxi to car park, funicular from there up to castle proper. We had reductions on everything because we're old, €1 each, funicular and for castle! Card payment only. Good audio visual at entrance (English subtitles) giving history of the castle. Can get app with audio aid for tour. English translations at exhibits. Very very interesting. Wonderful views everywhere. Walked down to town along the calvery track dotted with the Stations of the Cross. Steep in places but benches to rest. Tower (closed for siesta) but can get to canon . Brings you out behind market. 600 metres but with switch backs closer to 2km. First stop beer and snack!

Castell de Cullera is a great place to visit, both for its history and for the amazing views of the city and the sea. Driving up, you’ll already find some nice spots to stop for photos, and at the top you get a full 360° panoramic view. Parking is limited, so it can take some time to find a spot. There are public restrooms available for free, which is very convenient. Once you park, you’ll see the option to take a small elevator for €1. Honestly, unless you have accessibility needs, it’s not worth it—the elevator only covers a very short section of stairs, which you can walk in 3–4 minutes without any problem. Even if you don’t go inside the castle or arrive after closing time, it’s still worth going up for the views and to enjoy the surroundings. The walk and scenery make it a very rewarding stop in Cullera.
Ricardo P — Google review
Amazing views of the local city and landscape, the castle is only small but very beautiful and well worth a visit to learn about its history and to take in its architecture. It’s very impressive at the building work to get it there and how formidable it would have been in its day. If you like history, views and architecture then you should absolutely go and visit Parking was fine and there were public WC. Unfortunately the church which is attached was not open on the day we went (Monday) so didn’t get to see inside which is a shame, the cafe also was not open. There is a weird tiny funicular rail which cost €1 PP you definitely don’t need it but the kids enjoyed it
Jack M — Google review
Lovely place with an exceptional view and a good bit of history. Towering above the town of Cullera, this little castle provides incredible views of the area. It's not very big as it used to be a military fort rather than a typical castle. There's also a nearby hiking trail going around the mountain. While there is some information in English, the inside of the castle itself gives information almost exclusively in Valencian and Spanish, though for those interested it's relatively easy to just translate it.
Nikolay G — Google review
We were able to grab the last parking space at the top of the hill and luckily there was a mini funicular to take Deb the final distance to the castle entrance. Admission was €3 but it is a small castle so we probably spent less than 30 minutes inside, including watching the 12 minute information film (English subtitles). The interior was unadorned and the battlements were small but with nice views of the coast and the rice fields. We had an ice cream and a coffee at the cafe terrace and then I walked down the steps to view the castle from below and then down a small path to view the octagonal tower and segments of the town wall, built during the Islamic period. The castle itself has an Islamic base and was then updated and expanded after the Christian reconquest in the 13th century. It's next expansion was in the 16th century after Muslim pirates sacked the town and carried the population off into slavery.

Gorgeous panoramic views from the top, overlooking the town of Cullera and the bay. Sadly it was closed by the time we got there, but we were still able to walk the grounds, which is a lovely walk with some hiking areas if desired. Beautiful grounds with great views and worth the small walk around to see the different viewpoints. Wish we could have seen the beauty and history inside, but still a 5 star experience just from the outside!

Sights & Landmarks
Museo Cueva de Dragut, also known as Dragut's Caves, is a fascinating historical site in Cullera, Spain. These caves were once used as a hideout by the infamous Ottoman pirate Dragut during the 16th century. Situated along the coast of Cullera, this attraction offers visitors an intriguing look into the region's past. The natural cave is filled with artifacts such as swords, guns, and model boats from that era.
Hidden attractions near Cullera's Lighthouse. Stairs take you to the cafetería and entrance to the museum inside the cave. Guided tour is very good as guide explain the history of the pirates and artifacts in all underground chambers. It has a small ship with a broken mast. Guided tour ends with a lights and sound show of a storm at sea. It is a cool tour for the price. After visiting the cave we walked outside up to the hill to see a hermitage, a sculpture with two huge hands and a natural balcony to see the lighthouse from the distance.

Natasa S — Google review
A curious place, well worth a visit, even if you are not interested in special effects and superficial pirate stories. It's a huge, peculiarly winding natural cave, quite atmospheric, and with a bit of imagination you can almost "see" bad old pirates hiding there in the mid-sixteenth century. There are many old artefacts - sables, guns, jugs models of boats etc. I was given an individual tour by an earnest young guide, in English. Pity I wasn't allowed to take photos. There is also a café by the entrance, which is rather handy.

I love this place and have visited a few times - always travelling on the dotto train (tren turistico) from Cullera beach (get on near Ale Hop). They've created a great experience building on the history of the invasion of the town by pirates. Not for those with mobility problems, since as far as I know the out way out is via some very steep stairs.

We went there in June 2019. 5 euros per adult and 3 for kids. Our 2 yo didn’t pay and we didn’t have to ask or show papers. We were lucky to be the only ones so we had the guide to ourselves. Visit was with a guide who did it in Spanish. He was nice but spoke a bit too quickly. The information in the cave is limited and the artefacts (swords and guns mostly) were alright but nothing impressive. We like the bergantine boat at the bottom. It was also nice to be away from the heat for 30-40 minutes. Kids enjoyed it but stairs can be steep.

Great spot to learn a little more about Las Fallas and its history in Gandia. The staff is friendly and our girls enjoyed learning more about the falleras and their dresses. The collection of the “pardoned” ninots is housed here with an audio guide that explains the history, building methods and traditions. It is a smaller museum focused on local fallas history that is a fairly quick and enjoyable visit.

Small museum dedicated to the "Fallas" in Gandia showing some of the figures saved at the end of the festival, the traditional costumes and the history including a digital recreation of the "mascletà" fireworks. The woman on the ticket desk also acted as a guide to some of the exhibits and couldn't have been more enthusiastic about something she clearly loves. Again, small, but definitely recommend.

Diana N — Google review
I had a fantastic experience at this safari park. The staff are polite, friendly, and very professional. Everyone we interacted with spoke English, so if you don’t speak Spanish, you won’t have any problems. The park is home to a wide variety of animals, and you can see them from surprisingly close distances, which makes the whole visit really exciting. One important thing to know: the last chance to buy a ticket is at 4:00 PM, although the park itself remains open until 7:00 PM. Three hours is more than enough time to explore everything without feeling rushed. My personal recommendation is to arrive on a weekday just before the ticket office closes, around 3:40 PM. By that time the crowds have thinned out, so you won’t end up stuck in a line of cars, and you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the park. Also, don’t miss the drive on the final stretch before you arrive. The road winds through the mountains, and the scenery is absolutely stunning — it really adds to the experience.

I’m putting three stars as the personal was helpful and the safari ( first part of the experience) by itself is actually nice, animals enjoyed a lot of space and the local guide explained well. It just becomes sad when you see the Lion, wolves and tiger in relatively small cage. The highlight was to see a woman in a keffiyeh — symbol of anti-colonial struggle — sipping the view next to a Coca-Cola vending machine (aren’t they supposed to boycott that?). She’s taking photos of a meerkat in a cage while dressed in the attire of resistance. Paying for entry to a zoo, supporting capitalism, and snapping pictures of imprisoned animals… all while wearing a scarf that screams “freedom.” Modern activism looks a lot like selective outrage wrapped in tourist behavior. Hypocrisy, neatly packaged.

If you’re looking for a unique wildlife experience, this zoo is an absolute gem. Even getting there feels like part of the adventure. The drive winds through a stunning mountain landscape with breathtaking views around every other corner. Just be aware that parts of the road are quite narrow and twisty, so take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Once you arrive, the experience really kicks off. You use your own car for a guided tour through the park, stopping at each animal area while the guide shares interesting facts in both Spanish and English. The tour begins with curious ostriches and ends with the majestic lions, and in between you’ll meet zebras, camels, water buffalo, wolves, and even tigers. It’s incredible to see these animals up close in such a natural setting. After the driving tour, there’s a smaller zoo area where the “little guys” live. This part is perfect for stretching your legs and wandering around. Here you’ll meet everything from lemurs to giant tortoises, and don’t miss Eddie the Lama – he’s a total charmer and loves meeting visitors. To make it even more magical, peacocks roam freely everywhere you go. They’re so beautiful and add to the special atmosphere. What really stands out here is how well the animals are cared for. The whole park is dedicated to protecting endangered species and rescuing animals that haven’t had the best start in life. You can tell the staff are passionate about what they do, and it’s reassuring to see the animals living in spacious, clean environments. A little tip: bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes. There’s quite a bit of walking involved, and it can get very warm, especially in summer. This place is an unforgettable experience for animal lovers and families alike. The combination of amazing animals, stunning surroundings, and a genuine focus on conservation makes it something special. Highly recommended – this is the kind of place you’ll want to tell all your friends about afterwards.

We visit the Safari on Sunday it’s a long drive up to the mountains. Once you get there the drugstore will guide you to see all the animals. You can buy your tickets online or at the counter. The tour is for two hours

We took the guided tour and got a lot of info about the animals from the guide. The animals is in good condition but would like to see more greenery in the animals closure. The tour lasted over 2hrs so bring something to drink. We ate at the restaurant after and we recommend the cheese and bacon burger 👍 Nice staff.

Museu Microgegant

Art museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Museu Microgegant is a captivating museum that showcases the transformation of small objects into larger ones. It is an incredible display of craftsmanship and ingenuity, with intricate details found in even the tiniest pieces of art. The museum offers an affordable entry fee, making it accessible to all visitors. The atmosphere within the museum is truly amazing, providing an unbelievable experience for those who visit.
as many people wrote in comments, the museum is indeed quite small, but we’ve never regretted coming here. i think the idea is very special, and each piece of art actually adds up to one bigger picture, so I really enjoyed discovering all the small details. the lady at the entrance was really welcoming, and she even gave us a small tour to explain the artist’s idea. there is another partner-museum a bit closer to the castle, so you can buy one ticket to visit both of them.

Castell de Dénia

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castell de Dénia is a picturesque castle by the water, dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries. It offers a glimpse into history with artifacts on display, showcasing its Greek, Roman, Moorish, and Spanish influences. The climb to the top rewards visitors with stunning views of Denia and the mountains. While exploring the castle's ruins, visitors can also enjoy a café at the top.
Worth a visit, but make sure to go later in the afternoon otherwise you’ll be baked in the scorching sun. Beautiful views to the surroundings; not much of a castle, more outer remains. A governor’s palace location is a beautiful highest spot of the castle with views to the sea. Visit to the castle requires a certain level of physical fitness and preferably comfortable shoes, at least not heels, so plan accordingly.

Interesting information (mostly in Spanish) about the various stages of adaptation of the castle from its beginnings and most recently a palace. Worth a visit. Not much shade so morning or evening visit recommended. Plenty of (paid) parking in the vicinity. Good location for a walk around old town after. Plenty of exercise walking up and down the many steps and slopes to stretch those legs after a few days relaxing on the beaches.
Philip S — Google review
Beautiful walk around the castle, lovely pit stop cafe and prices are great. Views are wonderful and well worth the few euros entry fee to explore the castle grounds. Coffee and cake are a must, visit is most definitely recommended, the surrounding streets with the quaint spainish houses are lovely to also explore.
Donna M — Google review
Interesting place. €2 for seniors. There is a fairly steep tarmacced slope after the entrance, there are other routes up to the top, but steep and very uneven stone paths. Lots of boards with the history around. Lots of different areas to explore including the walls, so if you want to do it all, you'll need a lot of time.Views are good of the surrounding areas. Once outside, there is also a tunnel that runs underneath the castle which is free.
Michael C — Google review
The views are absolutely stunning! There are very few people, so it’s really comfortable to walk around. There’s also a café on the grounds where you can enjoy different drinks with a beautiful view of the sea.
Valeria S — Google review
Definitely worth a visit, you will be sweating on a hot day, even if you take the easy road route up to the top. We opted for the hard more but scenic and cultural route making sure we took our time as it was 35deg. Entry is €3 for an adult and €2 for over 65's, the ticket man spoke perfect English and was very helpful. When you make it to the top the views are beautiful with harbour and coastal views. There is a small cafe at the top with a lovely seating area under pine trees, it does close mid afternoon so take a drinknifnyour going after 1400. We walked down the easy route and walked the castle tunnel that runs under the castle, this is free to enter. We parked down at the port car park, reasonably priced at around a €1 and hour and its only 10 mins from the castle.
Martin K — Google review
A good uphill walk to a once thriving castle, little remains and all signs with history in Spanish, thankfully Google Translate helped tremendously. But you can see the history of the place it's mott and bailey,and footprints of the houses. Great views over Denia and harbour,watching the Ibiza ferry's come in. Lovely little cafe in castle at very reasonable price,also toilets,but these are a bit dilapidated.

Amazing views!My advice to wear strong hiking shoes because stones are sharp. I had trainers and next day my feet was double size. Bit still sore. Did 7 hours walk because wanted to see caves as well. Definitely take water and sun cream with you. Not crowded.

Very nice hike. We took the easier route. The views of a town and sea below the mountains were very nice. Path is quite wide and there is plenty of space for a quick or a longer brake. Not very crowded. Recommend :)
Hubert P — Google review
Remember to take and use sunproof cream. Water at least 1,5 l per person. Take a cap. Up and down 4 to 5 hours, depends on your physical state. Don't start later than 3 pm unless you plan to spend a night there.

Parc Natural del Montgó is a beautiful place to visit with stunning views and breathtaking scenery. However, the rocks and roads can be challenging to navigate and are not an easy walk. Nonetheless, the park is definitely worth a visit for anyone who loves nature and enjoys hiking.
Nicolas B — Google review
If you are planning to explore Montgó Natural Park, it's worth considering a visit beforehand to the Park Information Centre (in Bosc Diana park & gardens, Avenida de Joan Fuster). Pick up a free leaflet with a detailed map of the park, showing the various walking routes plus relevant information (in Spanish) - distance, degree of difficulty, total ascent/descent etc. There is a very useful 3D scale model of the park and surrounding area, with walk routes marked on. Also, display boards with information about natural history, flora and fauna, key species etc.

Loved the hike. There is a cave on the bottom called Cova de Tollada (or similar, I may be butchering it). You can apparently go pretty deep inside the darkness there but i didn’t venture. Regardless, the hike before it is spectacular. True beauty to see the sun, sea and mountains in one place

Amazing views from the top, quite a climb allow 2 - 3 hours each way. The path at places can be very rough or close to the edge especially the summit climb. Even if you go half way the views are stunning!

Lovely beach. Near food and drink. Calm seas to swim and relax. Family and couple orientated.

(Translated by Google) The only star is for the place: really very beautiful, very nice beach and crystal clear water. What is missing are the services: the beach was dirty due to a recent storm (we arrived at 2:00 pm), there are no public toilets or public showers. For such a renowned place we expected a very different level of service. (Original) L’unica stella è per il posto: davvero molto bello, spiaggia molto carina e acqua cristallina. Quello che manca sono i servizi: la spiaggia era sporca a causa di una recente mareggiata (siamo arrivati alle 14:00), non esistono bagni pubblici né docce pubbliche. Per un luogo tanto rinomato ci aspettavamo un livello di servizio ben diverso.
