The City of Arts and Sciences is Valencia’s most popular tourist attraction, and a trip to this Spanish city is incomplete if you don’t enter this special attraction. Here are a few things you should keep in mind if you’re visiting this cultural and architectural complex.

Take Your Time

Calling the City of Arts and Sciences enormous isn’t an exaggeration since it consists of several different buildings you can explore. You’ll have to set aside at least a day to fully discover them all, and it’s highly likely that won’t be enough.

Pick the Right Ticket

You can buy several types of tickets, depending on the complex you’re going to visit. Hemisfèric, Oceanogràfic, and the Science Museum can be explored separately or at once, so make sure to do your research and decide if you want to visit all of them.

Manage Your Expectations

The City of Arts and Sciences is usually filled with families and kids on school trips, and their interactive exhibitions are mostly aimed at this group of visitors. You can enjoy its exterior without getting in, but keep in mind you’ll usually have to deal with big crowds inside.
