About this experience
Nice tour of the “Highlights” of Valencia through the centuries, the periods of glory are visible everywhere in the beautiful architecture and pleasant squares in the old town. This part of town is full of life and traditions... We pass the train station, Post Office, Central Market Hall, Plaza Redonda, Cathedral, Basilica with the icing on the cake the guided visit to the 15th Century Lonja or Silk Halls (Unesco World Heritage).
In the Carmen district, we look for the more alternative art of contemporary street art.
Especially interesting to explore the old town with an expert guide, we visit “not to be missed” places where you can’t go with a bike tour. Lots of tips for your further stay. For the people who want to get more out of their stay in Valencia than just cycling.
