Itinerary

1
Torres dels Serrans
Our fantastic tour starts at Torres de Serranos, where we will meet for an introduction to Valencian History. We'll discuss the old main gate of the medieval wall, its connection to the Turia River, and the different walls Valencia once had.
· 20 min
2
Palau de la Generalitat
Did you realize how many palaces Valencia has? We will discover why there are so many around the Barrio del Carmen...
· 20 min· Admission not included
3
Parroquia de San Nicolas de Bari y San Pedro Martir
Known as the "Valencian Sistine Chapel," San Nicolás is one of the most attractive temples in the city, with nearly 2,000 square meters of perfectly restored frescoes that leave visitors breathless. The spectacular paintings decorating the vault represent twice the surface area of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. With over 700 years of history, Saint Nicholas, which was a place of worship in Roman times before being a mosque and later a Christian church, is a clear example of the perfect coexistence between a Gothic structure and splendid Baroque decoration.
· 30 min· Admission included
4
La Lonja de la Seda
It is a surprising Gothic building that places Valencia on the list of World Heritage Sites. It is not easy to find large civil buildings of Gothic architecture, which in our imagination we associate more with the great cathedrals of central and southern Europe. For this reason, in 1996, La Lonja de la Seda was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This international body justifies the declaration because it is an exceptional example of civil Gothic architecture and represents the strength of trade in Mediterranean cities during its construction period. It was built in just 15 years during the 15th century. We will enter to discover why it was so important for silk.
· 30 min· Admission included
5
Valencia Cathedral
Built on an old Roman temple that was later a mosque. In the Cathedral of Valencia, we observe numerous elements from different periods, from Romanesque to Baroque. Construction began in the 13th century, with numerous reforms throughout the centuries leading to this monumental building. Did you know that the Holy Chalice is in the Cathedral of Valencia? And that it also houses one of the most important pictorial works of the early Spanish Renaissance? History and art mix in the Cathedral. Its walls and doors also protect treasures as valuable as the Holy Chalice. Many studies suggest that the Grail of Valencia is the one Jesus used at the Last Supper. Hence, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI used this relic in the celebration of the Eucharist during their visits to Valencia. Another of the Cathedral's jewels are the Renaissance frescoes on the High Altar of the Valencia Cathedral, which were rediscovered ten years ago when the Baroque vault that covered them was removed.
· 30 min· Admission included
6
Placa de la Mare de Deu
Basilica and Cathedral in the same square, what a view! What history! We will finish the tour here, discovering the last important points of our culture.
· 20 min
7
Program, Step 7
On Mondays, the stop at San Nicolás is replaced by a visit to Valencia City Hall, whose monumental façade and centuries of institutional history bear witness to the city’s political and social life.
· 1 min· Admission included

A comprehensive and informative guide to the landmarks and history of Valencia.
glynyscerij, October 2026
Paulinowas an excellent guide. He was extremely knowledge and patiently answered the many questions that we put to him. The route of the tour enabled us to see the layout of the city and not just the main landmarks. Paulino pointed out a number of authentic places to eat and to buy genuine ceramic items etc. All in all this was an excellent experience.

★★★★★Viator review
Very knowledgeable
Laura_B, October 2026
This was an extensive tour of the architecture in Valencia with a very knowledgeable guide. It includes entry to the former Silk Exchange, Valencia Cathedral and Saint Nicholas Church. Note: the Secret Food Tour in Valencia goes by many of these same sites with history included (and the food tour is very good as well).

Thanks to Maria Antonietta, who with professionalism and friendliness guided us to the discovery of the wonders of Valencia. We will certainly make use of her skills on another occasion. Best regards, Romina, Elena, and Gianna.
