Within the ancient stone walls that still partly encircle it, Valencia’s Old Town—now home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites—captures the city’s dynamism, diversity, and long history. Technically divided into six smaller neighborhoods, the Old Town is home to many of Valencia’s top landmarks and tourist attractions, including the Valencia Cathedral, La Llonja de la Seda (a historic silk exchange), the Central Market (Mercado Central), and more. But this is also a part of the city that locals frequent, with its dining and nightlife options making it a mainstay.
Valencia’s Old Town is easy to explore independently, and it also features on dozens of tours and itineraries, from bike tours and Segway tours to pub crawls, foodie tapas excursions, immersive walking tours, and more.
