THE HEART OF MEDIEVAL VALENCIA

Explore the winding streets and layers of history as your guide brings this vibrant city alive! Old and modern styles collide in the labyrinth of Valencia’s ancient Muslim quarter, now home to deeply charming lanes filled with hidden gems. Your family will be enthralled by colours and stories as we stroll along the Moorish battlements. Perfect for families the tour combines activities to keep children and teens engaged (treasure hunt for thousands of bat symbols hiding everywhere, seek out Valencia’s reknowned graffiti artist Dávid Límon) as we see everything from the Roman, Visigoth, Muslim and Christian periods. We meet in the very centre of the Roman city and we see the Roman Baths and the original Roman roads form 2000 years ago. Learn about and see the influences of the Muslim period still echoing all around. In the Christian period we see the great gate which guarded the old city for centuries. Everyone will love the old cloister turned into a public artspace as well as the Museum of the Rocks, filled with 500 year-old Catholic wagons with scuptures on them). Let your imagination unfold and enjoy this feast of the senses!
