Sun-drenched, dynamic and wonderfully innovative, Spain's fabulous third city boasts a sublime seaside location midway down the Mediterranean coast. Rich in cultural heritage, its irresistible mix of old medieval quarters, palm-fringed plazas and sleek 21st-century buildings has placed the city firmly on the tourist map in recent years, spawning a new generation of world-class attractions, such as the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences designed by the famed Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava. Here you can experience the arts and sciences like you've never seen them before in a vast cutting-edge complex featuring the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, Oceanogràfic Aquarium, Reina Sofía Opera House and much, much more. Valencia's striking Gothic cathedral in the centre of the Old Town features many fine works of art and houses what many believe to be the elusive Holy Grail itself in one of its chapels. One of the finest examples of Gothic civil architecture in Europe, the 15th-century La Lonja de Seda (Silk Exchange) is a stunning building and a must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is also perfectly placed for people planning to explore eastern Spain's long Mediterranean shoreline. With a car hire in Valencia you can easily reach Albufera Natural Park (where Spain's ever-popular paella originated), the Roman town of Xàtiva with its ancient hilltop castle, the hot springs of Montanejos and the many vineyards to be found in the Requena countryside.
