cjcruiser27 Posted August 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wondering if anyone has stopped here and if so, what did you do? Thanks for any helpful tips.;);).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted August 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Although Valencia is near to where we live and is the capital of our province we have only been there a couple of times so I am no great expert on the city. However what we have seen we have liked. It is not really a tourist town although they are now beginning to try to attract more tourists. It was the home of the America’s cup in 2007 and is now the venue for the Formula 1 European GP motor race. It has beautiful architecture and I absolutely love what they have done with turning the old river into a gardens. Take a look at this site http://www.valenciavalencia.com/sights-guide/top-sights-of-valencia.htm There is also a HoHo bus http://www.valenciabusturistic.com When are your sailing? On which ship?

twonpcb Posted August 4, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Does anybody know how far the city center is from the port? I can't seem to find that information. Thanks, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted August 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Here is a link that explains about getting from the port to town and other places http://www.sunquestagent.ca/content.asp?page=29782 I know it talks about excusrions from MSC Sinfonia but it still gives you an idea what is around there. I am sure your ship will offer similar excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ships excursions to Valencia are only 1/2 day and mostly walking tours. Do you know if the cabs at the dock are reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
