Discover Valencia
Valencia combines one of Spain’s most rewarding city breaks with a major Mediterranean passenger port offering direct vehicle ferries to the Balearic Islands.
Valencia’s historic centre is centred on the cathedral, Plaza de la Virgen and a maze of lanes opening onto grand squares and markets. The Gothic Silk Exchange and Central Market are among the city’s essential sights.
The City of Arts and Sciences provides a striking modern contrast, with futuristic architecture, museums, an aquarium and landscaped public spaces along the former Turia riverbed.
Turia Gardens form a green corridor through the city and are ideal for walking or cycling between central neighbourhoods and the City of Arts and Sciences. The route continues towards the Mediterranean waterfront.
Valencia’s beaches, including Malvarrosa and Las Arenas, are broad and easily reached from the centre. The nearby marina and Cabanyal district add restaurants, traditional streets and a strong seaside atmosphere.
Food is a major part of the experience. Valencia is closely associated with paella, while the Central Market, tapas bars and rice restaurants make it easy to build a short stay around local cuisine.
The Port of Valencia is also one of mainland Spain’s key Balearic gateways. Baleària, Trasmed and GNV publish routes from Valencia to Palma and Ibiza, with Trasmed also listing Mahón and connecting options to Formentera.

Reaching the harbour and checking in
Valencia’s ferry terminals sit within the large commercial port east of the city centre. Because operators can use different terminal areas, allow time to reach the correct check-in rather than simply the port boundary.
Pin the precise ferry terminal before travelling to Valencia. Some towns have separate passenger quays, vehicle terminals and excursion-boat landings. The operator’s address on your confirmation is more useful than a town-centre map pin.
For a car journey, leave a margin for the final approach, queueing and check-in. Without a car, confirm the last part of the journey from the railway station or bus stop. A short map distance may involve port roads or areas closed to pedestrians; use a confirmed transfer or walking route.
Keep your booking reference and required documents accessible. If you need step-free boarding, help with luggage or space for a bicycle, arrange it before the day of travel. Small piers and large vehicle terminals can offer very different facilities.
Building Valencia into a wider journey
Plan each sea leg as a separate part of the trip. Check the arrival port, transfer distance, vehicle restrictions and the time before the next sailing. A ticket sold by one company or booking provider does not automatically create a protected connection with another.
Check your arrival time against accommodation check-in and the next transport service. If this is an island stay, organise the return ferry before fixing a mainland flight or a long-distance train. The outward and return ports do not have to be the same, but separate tickets can have different conditions.
