I traveled to Valencia with my brother and it was an incredible experience. I did feel that Valencia has its own culture, they’re Valencian before they’re Spanish. I really liked this experience there was a lot of cool museum to visit and the food was amazing. Definitely don’t forget to visit the main market.
Posted: August 13, 2025I feel really safe in Valencia The life is not really expensive compared to France there is not a lot of things to do but it si a beautiful town and you can go the the beach and go out to walk in the town and close to the opera it a really beautiful !
Posted: August 11, 2025Experienced: December, 2023I felt quite safe, I was mainly visiting the city centre, Jezus district and I walked around the beach quite a lot. I would reccommend booking accommodation in the city centre, as there are a lot of people there at all times and it's more tourists friendly.

I was in Valencia for a bit more than a week, and while I stayed with friends I got to explore the city a little bit. I particularly enjoyed to walk to the beaches, and to run through the park that used to be a river. My absolutely favorite thing was to visit the fresh food markets, and in particular the smaller local ones. My picture is from a market in Russafa. Even though I don't speak much Spanish, a few words and a positive attitude got me very far while speaking to the old market ladies. Que mas? Valencia has plenty of little cute shops, cafes and bars. Be aware that most places close at 14:00 or 15:00 for a mid day pause before re-opening for dinner later, so don't wait too long to eat your mid day meal. I didn't really go to any expensive paid attractions since I was mostly there to visit friends and see the city for the first time. It was enough for me to experience daily life in the city and enjoy the new food and drinks, figuring out the metro system and wrapping my head around everything unfamiliar. I would love to go back sometime.

Overall it was a marvelous experience, to walk through the streets, on the beach promenade, and meet new people everywhere.

I feel very safe. I can go back to my place by night without worrying, and the police is very nice if you have any problems. In generally nobody will talk to you without respect in the street. You can travel alone everywhere in Valencia.
