We visited the night at Christmas time. The place is beautiful and at that time there was a Christmas fair with typical meals of the city. It was so good to meet you. Remember to go well agasalhad because there sale a lot and the place of the fair is all open.
Obrigado Claudia, pela crítica; foi muito simpático da tua parte. Cumprimentos de Valência
Geraldo was amazing. He tailored the tour based on what we hadn’t seen. He was very knowledgeable and his English is very good. We saw some monuments in the historic city and then went to the City of Arts and Sciences. Beautiful complex with interesting history
Thanks very much for your review, it is very kind of you. Regards from Valencia
One of the most mind-blowing futuristic collection of modern architecture I've ever seen. Best approached on foot through the park, via the statue of Neptune, the buildings emerge like something out of Star Trek. The park is one of the best urban parks I've ever visited, a 7km ribbon through the city where the river once ran. Well worth a visit to Valencia just for these incredible buildings by Santiago Calatrava. We spent several hours just wandering around outside., totally amazed.
Thank you very much for your comments. Greetings from Valencia.
An incredible futuristic construction in a beautiful city? Valencia of course. The city of science extends over several meters in a modern style. From a concert hall to an exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci. In short, a moment of happiness, although a little empty.
Merci pour vos commentaires, je suis ravi que la ville vous ait plu. Salutations de Valence
Interesting for sure, but London's is bigger. To see because every museum has its own peculiarities. It doesn't take half a day to visit.
Mi dispiace che non le sia stato di interesse, anche se credo che abbia commesso un errore pubblicando la recensione qui, dato che non è la sezione giusta. Sono una guida turistica. Esiste un sito web per la Città delle Arti e delle Scienze; io sono una guida turistica, non la Città delle Arti e delle Scienze stessa. Le sarei grato se potesse correggere l'errore. Cordiali saluti.
Very beautiful, it is divided into three floors, ideal for children and interesting for adults, even in this case as the Oceanographic lacks a marked path, you lose some things. Overall very interesting and in some places funny
Grazie, Tonio, per i suoi commenti. Un saluto
YOU MUST SEE The entire city of science is definitely worth a visit.. Beautiful at sunset, the sun in June goes down about 9-9.15... a show of colors!! The entire complex is well structured, the work of Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, has various buildings that have become symbols of the city: Oceanographic, Hemisfèric, Science Museum (on the ground floor you can access for free and get some experience), Palau de Les Arts, Umbracle, Ágora. Walking among these architectures is really a pleasure... These are some bus lines to get there: 13, 15, 25, 35, 95, 99. Or green metro line, stop NATZARET.
Grazie per la sua bella descrizione della Città delle Arti e delle Scienze e per la sua recensione. Sono felice che le sia piaciuta. Cordiali saluti
It was an exceptional experience! The children loved it and learned a lot in a fun and interactive way. The exhibitions are varied and adapted to all ages, making the tour both rewarding and entertaining. I highly recommend this museum to all families visiting Valencia. An educational and pleasant outing that we will not forget!
Merci d'avoir rédigé cet aimable commentaire, je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié la ville. Elle offre culture et divertissement pour tous, adultes et enfants. À bientôt. Cordialement.
This complex of futuristic buildings left us speechless. You can simply turn, take pictures, admire everything from different perspectives. Or you can actively participate in various museums/activities for a fee. We decided to devote ourselves to the Science Museum which, however, has somewhat disappointed our expectations, but overall remains interesting to visit. Since we don't have much time, we've missed the visit of the Oceanographic Museum, but we will definitely do it the next time we return. Otherwise everything very nice, nice, clean and pleasant to the eye.
Grazie per la sua recensione, sono contenta che le sia piaciuta, il museo cambia continuamente mostre, spero che le piacerà di più la volta successiva, ora abbiamo una mostra su Leonardo da Vinci che è molto interessante. Spero che la prossima volta possa visitare l'Oceanografico. Saluti da Valencia
This tour was well-paced and very informative. Amir took us through the most important spots, explaining the futuristic architecture and the science behind the structures. Seeing the complex in person is an experience I won’t forget.
thank you very much for your review. Greetings from Valencia
