City Breaks in Valencia

History

Valencia was founded back in the year 138BC when the Romans gave it the name “Valentia”. Before the 8th century, Valentia was home to Greeks, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Visigoths, Romans and Byzantines but in the eighth century, the occupants of Valentia were the Moors and they stayed there for 500 years. They had a huge influence that is still felt today around Valencia. They introduced the irrigation system as well as trading of fruits, ceramics and rice.

Attractions

There are lots of attractions in Valencia and you can start with Jardin Botanico,  a historical botanical garden that had been founded back in 1567. It’s worth a visit now as it has already been restored. Plaza Del Mercado, Torres de Serranos, and several museums are just a few of the many attractions to experience here.

Going Out

One thing you’d notice in Valencia is that people have a very intense nightlife. Dinner time here is not around 7 in the evening but around 10pm. If you want to enjoy the cool nights, you got to stay up really late. Pubs and clubs usually start to get crowds by midnight as that’s just the beginning of fun in Valencia.

Beaches
