Valencia in short

Valencia is the city that convinces backpackers to stay an extra week. Spain's third city packs a medieval old town, nine kilometres of sand and a nine-kilometre park built in a drained riverbed into somewhere you can cross by bike in twenty minutes.

It is also where NEXT STOP starts. The first hostels to join the network are here, which means this is the easiest city in Spain to arrive in with a NEXT PASS in your pocket and a bed already sorted.

Why visit Valencia?

Things to do

  1. City of Arts and Sciences

    Santiago Calatrava's white shells look unreal at golden hour, and walking the complex from outside costs nothing.

  2. Mercado Central

    One of Europe's biggest covered markets — go before noon, buy fruit, jamón and a horchata, eat it in the square.

  3. El Carmen at night

    The old quarter's narrow streets hold most of the city's bars, live music and street art within a ten-minute walk.

  4. Malvarrosa beach

    Tram 4 or a twenty-minute cycle takes you from the cathedral to the sand and the seafood restaurants behind it.
