Things to do in Valencia, Valencian Country: The Best Sights & Landmarks
You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

2. Valencia Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,204 reviews
Reviewed By MurrayBhoy - West Kilbride, United Kingdom
Sitting in between the two main Plazas of De La Virgen and De La Reina, this Cathedral dominates both squares its impressive Gothic architecture all around and its Migulete Tower which reaches high above the city centre itself. Inside, the Cathedral presents a treasure trove of side chapels, architecture, Goya paintings and a museum with an array of historical religious artifacts which includes a trip into tiny rooms where some archaeological digs have been preserved. Of course, its main treasure is the "Holy Grail" housed in a small chapel in the side where you can sit and gaze and take it in hushed respectful silence. Whether you believe it is the true Holy Grail or not, it is of great historical importance anyway, and a must see when in Valencia. I have been to the Cathedral de Santa Maria (Royal Cathedral in Madrid) and it does not come close to this one. We paid 8 Euro each to enter, and a further 2 Euro for myself to go up the Tower....some might complain about having to pay....but it is worth every penny and more to witness and amaze at such well preserved history.

At 2 euros entrance fee plus a couple more for the audio guide, the Lonja is well worth a visit whilst touring the city. I fully concur with the other reviews I have read about this charming place.
4. Central Market of Valencia

Central Market of Valencia is definitely worth a visit, if only to walk through the beautiful stained-glass building and stroll through stalls of fresh vegatables, fruit, meat, the best seranno ham, fish, fruit, coffee, chocolat and other treats. If you're staying in Valencia for a while, skip the supermarkets and buy your fresh food at this market.
5. Plaza del Mercado (Placa del Mercat)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,494 reviews
In this still bustling plaza you will find three of the must-visit buildings in the city, including the Mercat Central.
Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This big open plaza takes its name of course from the indoor market which is the centrepiece, flanked by marble steps and with a huge array of all kinds of delicious things to consume. The Valencia card entitles you to a free drink and tapas from a variety of different sellers - choose which one appeals to you the most, there are several avaialble. The plaza itself is busy and bustling as you would expect - close to both the tourist district in the old part of town and the more modern part of the city towards the main railway station. A great place for getting to know the city and for people watching.

Loped de Vega Square, 6 is a must-see place to visit in Valencia. It was once the narrowest house in Europe, barely 107 centimeters, now second. But you must visit.
