Spains third-largest city is magnificent a wonderfully liveable place with thriving cultural, eating and nightlife scenes. Brilliant contemporary buildings grace Valencia, which also has a fistful of fabulous Modernista architecture, great museums and a large, characterful old quarter. The region is famous as the home of rice dishes such as paella, but its buzzy dining scene offers plenty more besides.

Insider tips to help you find the real Valencia
Valencia is characterised more by its people and their way of life than by its major sights. Getting under the skin of the city is easy wherever you are, but exploring these areas that have a very local flavour is especially rewarding and intriguing.

Walking the Turia

What was once a river meandering through the centre of town down to the sea is now a 9km stretch of parkland used by locals for running, playing, cycling, strolling, eating and flirting. It's worth walking the length of it to get a feel for this green city artery.

A Night Out in Russafa

What a great district Russafa is. Take a few small city blocks and jam as many innovative tapas places, bohemian bars, alternative shops and quirky galleries into them as is humanly possible. A night out here is the best way to get a feel for what the locals get up to at play.

El Cabanyal

In central Valencia, it's sometimes easy to forget that the city is by the sea, with an important heritage as a port and harbour. The fishing quarter is the place to get a feel for the maritime side of things; it's a district chock-full of local character.
