The Experience

The tour begins at the Torres de Serranos, Valencia's 14th-century gate, where your guide explains the history of this entrance to the old city. From there you move through the Cathedral and the Basilica at Plaza de la Virgen, then see the city from another angle at Plaza de la Reina. The route takes in a palace, a square that draws crowds, and the Lonja de la Seda—a UNESCO monument where merchants once traded silk—before reaching the Central Market, where the guide walks you through the architecture and the stories behind this working marketplace.

The tour ends at Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the modern center of Valencia, where your guide talks about what the square was historically and what it is now. Because the walk stays in the historic core and finishes near metro stations, you can head onward without arranging separate transport. The pace is steady but manageable for families with young children, and strollers are welcome.
