I went on my first solo trip last September to Valencia and I absolutely loved it. Stayed in a small hotel right on the beachfront. I felt safe, the weather was perfect and the city was relatively cheap. Everyone I encountered was nice and friendly but I would suggest learning basic Spanish to help communicate.

I was visiting around Valencia by train and Bus , Also visiting around Sagunto and Puerto de Sagunto . The fresh fruits and local welcoming people make my trip unforgettable . Spain is the most amazing country I ever been to . I enjoyed the sun In April - witch for me is unusual . I started to learn Spanish this year in January regarding to travel more often to this Beautiful country . If I close my eyes I can hear the 🌊 of the Mediterranean Sea .

Amazing city that has a lot to offer. A beautiful town with old buildings and small streets where you can do sightseeing, a national park close by, a lot of pubs and clubs to go partying, an amazing beach where a lot of young people meet to play volleyball or go swimming and amazing people. Definitely a city worth visiting!

Valencia is incredible. I took two amazing tours, one of the city of arts and sciences with a wine tasting/tapas afterwards and the other of the mineral thermal springs that are just outside the city. Both were certainly a highlight of my trip. I was there for four days, felt safe and wished I had stayed longer.

I stayed in a mixed gender hostel and I felt safe all the time. At the time there was a corona curfew and we couldn't be outside after 10 pm. Overall fun and an artistic city with a lot of options to go out.

Valencia is wonderful! I had the best meal of my life at Canalla Bistro (Ruzafa area). Loved the central location, on a lovely plaza, of my hotel: Ayre Astoria Palace. Of the many museums, my favorite was the Centro del Carmen. There are markets, museums, gardens (miles of them!), fabulous architecture, etc. A terrific trip (and I've traveled lots).

Felt safe which was most important and lots to fo there. People are very friendly especially in El Carmen, old town. Very bohemian place. Lots of places to choose from and price points. I stayed in an air b and b in the centre. Don't remember the name but was nice. Free museums visits and shipping in Corte Ingles
