COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

A 2-day Valencia itinerary should be just enough to understand why Valencia is described as a “city of contrasts.”

On the one hand, the city boasts some of the finest medieval architecture in Spain. But it is also home to world-renown contemporary architecture.

For sheer aesthetic and historical appeal, you can’t beat the classic Old Town trio; the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valencia Cathedral and the Central Market with its striking Art Nouveau design. 

Besides being beautiful inside and out, the cathedral has an important claim to fame. Many believe that the cathedral houses the true Holy Grail, a relic sacred to Christians. You can see it at the chapel of the Holy Chalice inside.

The Valencia Cathedral

Today the market is a popular destination for tourists as well as local with its restaurants, souvenirs and cafes. Make time for a snack at this Mercado Central for an authentic and tasty experience.

Mercado Central (Central Market)

There is a reason why this is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This uplifting, glorious structure deserves every accolade the artistic and historical world can bestow upon it.

The Silk Exchange

Many government buildings and high-end hotels are located here. The center is a lovely park with flower shops and many smart shops, cafes and tourist souvenirs lining the perimeter.

Plaza del Ayuntamiento

This museum is a perfect example of the little gems you find in unexpected places. It was one of the most pleasant museum surprises I’ve ever encountered. THIS is why you travel!
