It's a vibrant Mediterranean capital with a UNESCO-listed cathedral square, the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, and the birthplace of paella. A full day is enough to see the highlights. Stay for an overnight if you want to experience Valencia's lively bar scene and a proper dinner. ## Must-see in one day - City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) - Cathedral and Plaça de la Reina - Mercado Central (one of Europe's largest food markets) - Turia Park – former riverbed, now a 9 km linear park - El Carmen old quarter ## Where to eat paella Valencia is paella's birthplace. Casa Carmela on the beach is the most famous (book ahead); La Pepica is the classic seafront alternative. For inland Valencian paella try Restaurante Llevant. ## Getting there By car: 1h 30m via AP-7 (toll-free since 2020). Park at the City of Arts and Sciences. By bus: ALSA from Jávea, 2h 15m, around €18 each way. ## Best time to visit Spring and autumn are most pleasant. Las Fallas (15–19 March) is spectacular but extremely busy. Avoid August if you don't like crowds and heat. ## Frequently asked questions ### How far is Valencia from Jávea? ### Is Valencia worth a day trip? ### How to get there by public transport? ### Where to eat authentic paella? ### Is parking easy in Valencia? ## More about day trips [ ### Day Trip from Jávea to Denia Denia is Jávea's bigger northern neighbour – a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, just 15 minutes away.
