This part of the city really is beautiful - the heart of the medieval old town and close to the Cathedral and all the main tourist sites. The architecture and the atmosphere are extraordinary - and always busy and bustling, except perhaps in Covid (I visited long before this). You can really get a feel for the city here by walking around and exploring all the narrow little streets. The area also boasts some of the city's finest restaurants for both in and outdoors dining - I had a lovely Spanish style ham, egg and chips in a restaurant by the Cathedral. There are plenty of places too for trying the famous Aqua da Valencia, which packs quite a punch.
2. Plaza del Ayuntamiento
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,028 reviews
The palatial Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) of Valencia dominates the square, and its bells chime out the hours. Surrounding the plaza are other buildings from the city's golden age, such as the Correos (the main post office). In the center of the plaza, a fountain is surrounded by flower stalls with all the colors, sizes, varieties imagineable. This is a good starting point from which to visit Valencia's old quarter or today's most fashionable shops.

My favourite part of VLC. The city hall and surrounding buildings are just beautiful and a real city feature. Lots of paces to stop and refresh and watch the world pass you by. A great place to visit and viewing is free. Check out the square as there are often events and festivals/fiestas there too.

This is effectively the ex river bed now extensive and delightful park area which has been shaped and honed so that it has something for everyone in terms of sports facilities, water features, floral displays, natural tree shade, walking / cycling paths/routes etc. You can stroll around any part of this city park and enjoy it and/or just sit a while and read a book. Colourful and cared for it never disappoints and is well worth a visit !!

I second the reviewer before me who said that the station is rivalled by Porto for its beauty - it certainly is, especially at night when it's lit up. Its beautiful though at any time with its wonderful windows and floodlit entrance hall.
5. Gulliver Park

An amazing park feature, but not sure what to call it, a vast climbing frame with slides are other things to do on it, like a huge sculpture/fallen statue of Gulliver.
6. 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.
7. 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.
