New in the city? 2DayLanguages gives you some ideas to know what to do in Valencia.

Enjoy a walk in the Turia Park

Valencia has a unique and amazing feature- Turia Park, a fresh and delightful park with exotic vegetation that runs for 9 km and crosses all the city. The city was built around the Turia river, but because the river was prone to floods, especially a really bad one in 1957, the course of the river was diverted and the soft fertile soil of the riverbed gave life to a beautiful lush garden. This place is wonderful for walks, picnics and sports, a breath of fresh air in the middle of a busy city.

Watch the sunset at Albufera

Albufera, the main portion of Albufera Park, is a fresh water lagoon and estuary located in the Gulf of Valencia coast. Here you can find a great biodiversity of fauna and flora that can be observed all year round. And the sunset is just stunning. Enjoy a ride on the boat or simply sit on the boat dock and enjoy the marvelous sunset with exotic birds and a warm breeze.
