If you are looking forward to the May long weekend to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital, at Port Hotels we have the perfect plan for you.
On this occasion, we suggest you visit Valencia. It is a surprising destination due to the number of plans you can do in one, two, three days or as much time as you want to spend in the city. You will always find something to do!
Your visit to the Valencian capital begins at one of the Port accommodations. Port Azafata and Port Feria are two four-star hotels located away from the center but very well connected, a perfect option to forget about the car. On our website, you can book parking before your arrival. This way, you can get to all your plans by public transport, using the metro, bus, or commuter trains. Here are all the available options: How to get around Valencia | Valencia Transport
Once you arrive in the center of Valencia, we suggest you visit some of the city's most important historical monuments. The Plaza del Ayuntamiento will be your first stop. Do not miss the opportunity to take a photo at its imposing gate, as well as admire its presidential balcony, so legendary during the Fallas.
If you continue your route towards the Ciutat Vella, you will find the Plaza Redonda, the Central Market, the Silk Exchange, the Plaza de la Reina, the Valencia Cathedral, and the Plaza de la Virgen. Tourism usually makes you very hungry, so take advantage of the charming streets of this neighborhood to enjoy a terrace in the sun while tasting a Valencian Paella.
Valencian Paella is a typical dish of the entire autonomous community, specifically originating from this city. Each town has its own recipe, but the authentic one consists of rice, chicken, rabbit, green beans, tomato, butter beans (garrofón), saffron, and olive oil.
To continue your getaway, we suggest an afternoon of shopping along Calle Colón, the most commercial area of the Valencian capital. Fashion, makeup, technology, sports, home goods, local shops, and something for everyone.
At the end of Calle Colón is the imposing Valencia Bullring, in operation since 1859. Next to it is the Estación del Norte, the historic main train station of Valencia.
To put the finishing touch to a fantastic and complete day in Valencia, we suggest you return to the hotel and enjoy Room Service at Port Azafata. If, on the other hand, you are staying at Port Feria, you can enjoy a delicious informal dinner at the Cel & Terra restaurant.
