Frequently asked questions about visiting Valencia
What is the difference between a guided tour and a self-guided route?
A guided tour is led by a person, runs at a fixed time and is booked in advance. A self-guided route you do on your own, on whatever day you like and at your own pace. The guided tours listed here are Civitatis products and are booked on their site; the self-guided routes are ours, come with a map and calculated legs, and need no booking and no payment.
Can you see central Valencia on foot?
Yes. The old town, Ciutat Vella, is walkable end to end: our six-stop route — Torres de Serranos, Plaça de la Mare de Déu, the Cathedral, the Silk Exchange, the Mercat Central and Plaza Redonda — adds up to about twenty minutes of walking in total, with no public transport. For El Cabanyal, the beach or the City of Arts and Sciences, the metro or a bus is worth it.
How does the AI tour builder work?
You tell it what you feel like seeing — an area, a theme, how much time you have, whether you want free places only — and it assembles a three to eight stop itinerary with its map. It only suggests places from our verified database, never invented ones, and it works out each leg on foot or by public transport using real network data. A free account is needed to use it and to save the result.
How many days do you need in Valencia?
Two days cover the essentials: one for Ciutat Vella and the El Carme district, another for the City of Arts and Sciences and the beach at El Cabanyal or La Malvarrosa. A third day leaves room for the museums — Fine Arts, L'ETNO, Prehistory — for the neighbourhood markets, or for heading out to the Albufera at sunset.
