A long weekend always runs one morning short. These 15 tickets & entry passes justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide quickly and get back to lunch.
Spend a day at Valencia’s Oceanogràfic, Europe’s largest sea life center, inside the City of Arts and Sciences. Your ticket covers all exhibits, including marine habitats, the underwater tunnel, sharks, belugas, penguins and outdoor bird areas.

“I love the hop on hop off bus option for a city break! I always do a full loop to get my bearings then work out on the map what I want to see and what areas I need to be in. This one didn’t disappoint, excellent value for money, the buses have a good timescale & good stop locations, the drivers were pleasant, buses were clean and tidy and would definitely recommend. You get amongst the city and along to the coast so you get to see pretty much all of this beautiful city”
At Palosanto Tablao Flamenco in Valencia’s Cabanyal neighborhood, an entry ticket gets you a live performance of flamenco dance, guitar and cante jondo vocals. Artistic direction is by dancer Verónica Pulido. The intimate theater is near Cabanyal Municipal Market, with a bar for drinks and snacks. Arrive early if you want to improve your chances of sitting close to the stage.
“The show was prepared in a very good manner. Each group was lead individually to a seating place. The dancers and singers were amazing. The atmosphere was unique. The theatre was prepared to deliver a show where you could focus on the experience. No cameras are allowed, soboty can really focus on the show.”
Travel from Valencia to Vall d’Uixo with a guide, then ride a small boat along 850 meters of the Caves of San José’s underground river and walk about 200 meters through a dry gallery. The tour lasts four hours, includes transport and admission, and offers 30 minutes of free time. The boat guide may speak only Spanish.

Spend an hour at Ca Revolta, an old building in central Valencia with a small concert hall, for live flamenco guitar, singing, and dance.

“Absolutely loved it. The whole show gave me goosebumps from start to finish. Highly recommend it!”

“Very nice tour, we visited among other places the Sant Nicholas church which is a must visit place in my opinion. Excellent guide mr. Benito with a lot of knowledge about Valencia and a nice and enjoyable person. I would strongly recommend this tour”

“Rapide, beaucoup trop court et les salles font cheap”
Visit Valencia’s Museum and College of High Silk Art in a 15th-century building once used by the Gremi de Velluters, the silk velvet weavers’ guild.

Spend a day at Aquopolis Cullera, about 45 minutes from Valencia, with entry to a water park for all ages. Choose from high-speed slides, Calypso, gentler rides, and a dedicated children’s area. Lockers, sunbeds, speedy passes, and the VIP area cost extra, so plan your budget before you go.
“Vi rejste med en større mand, som ikke kunne prøve de forskellige aktiviteter, grundet hans vægt. Et sted måtte man rutje i en badering hvis vægt ik oversteg 115 kg men man måtte gøre i en dobbelt ring med Max vægt på 200 kg, her forstår vi så ikke, hvorfor en mand på 120 kg ikke må få adgang, hvis han bare havde taget en stor badering. Disse vægt begrænsninger gav ikke rigtig mening. Men ellers alt i alt et fint badeland og vi havde også en hyggelig dag.”
Start at Valencia’s City Hall at 9:00 am for a three-hour walk with a local guide, including access to exclusive areas around three Fallas sculptures. Learn how neighborhood committees choose artists and prepare works for the March 19 fire, while seeing old-town sights such as Central Market and Virgen Square. Guides named include Anais, also identified as Anaise Alapont Ferrer.
“Our guide, Anaise Alapont Ferrer! She was so kind and enthusiastic about Las Fallas and showed us many sights with engaging explanations. We wouldn’t have such an understanding of what was going on without her expertise. Thank you, Anaise you are in the perfect job and Viator lucky to work with you x”
Pick a quarter, a boat or a kitchen.
