Stunning buildings, be sure to visit the science museum where exhibits cater for the English language too. There's also a perfect opportunity for photos at the city of arts and sciences.

Start your walk-about tour early in the morning (around 9am) from the Palau de las Arts and end with lunch at the Oceanografic. The Hemisferic is my fave as it represents an eye with lashes et al.

Definetly a must see place in Valencia. Managed to spend few hours in science museum and it was really interesting, other attractions will visit when next time in Valencia.

Ilia Zemskov

Interesting if you have a whole weekend to discover everything that is there. Otherwise it's like pyramids: you have to visit and to take some pictures, but it's somehow pointless.

Yaron Kerget

Amazing place to visit in Valencia. Better come here during the day and during the sunset to see the different lightning with this architecture

Sara Radakovic

What a great complex with amazing architecture . Definitely something different and special - perfect place for spending time on sunny days

Magdalena Welcz

Useful tip; if you have sensitive skin don’t touch the water in the pool! Something in it burned my leg. My leg was boiling hot for over a day and red for a week! Painful lesson

Julio Arias

Calatrava’s masterpiece is really beautiful and you feel inside a whole new world, but it’s all facades with no real functionality.

Jamie Barnard

Architecture amazing but inside was dog doodoo. If you’ve been to the london science museum this is going to disappoint. One tiny little space for kids and its timed so they can only stay 45 minutes.

Luis Castro

Stunning views . Really amazing but that's it. It doesn't have much that's worth to do inside it.

Nick De Souza

Crazy modern architecture that clearly doesn't do much for local housing needs... but a lovely place to cycle too!

Layla

Overwhelmingly futuristic architecture , definitely a must see in Valencia.

Manouk

The architecture is more impressive than the museum itself.
