About this activity

On this self-guided walking tour around Valencia’s historical heart, I’ll tantalize your taste buds with insights into local cuisine, including its iconic tapas and mouth-watering paella. I’ll also reveal some of this magnificent city’s secrets, sharing stories and legends highlighting its unique and less-explored dimensions.

I’ll guide you into the city centre, where you’ll see the iconic Valencia Cathedral, a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture. You’ll have a chance to admire the exquisite craftsmanship of La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that symbolises the city’s historical importance as a trading hub. I’ll also show you its ancient city gates and the imposing Torres de Serranos, which have witnessed Valencia’s evolution over the centuries. As you enter the enchanting Old Town and wander its labyrinthine streets, I’ll show you hidden corners that hold secrets from Valencia’s past.
