Staying near the Turia Gardens puts you beside Valencia's former riverbed, now a long linear park with running and cycling paths that lead directly to the City of Arts and Sciences. It suits families and travellers who value green space, calm and easy movement across the city.
The Turia's nine-kilometre park curves through the city, and the streets bordering it are leafier and quieter than the old town, with playgrounds, sports areas and the Bioparc and City of Arts and Sciences at either end. It's relaxed by day for walks and cycling, and stays peaceful in the evening.
Getting around
The park itself is a car-free route you can walk or cycle straight to the City of Arts and Sciences, while nearby Metro and bus stops connect to the centre and to Valencia (VLC); the old town is a short walk or ride depending on your stretch of the gardens.
