This is my favorite science museum. The exterior is stunning, and the interior exhibits and interactions are very good. It was the first time I learned that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius who could do everything, including architecture, painting, sculpture, anatomy, and bridge building. It was the first time I learned about the moon and Mars. It was the first time I learned about genes. There were too many interactions. The children were especially hi
The City of Arts and Science is nice both on the inside and the outside. There is a very nice park just next to it that is great to relax at on a sunny day.

The Cathedral of Valencia is a landmark building in Valencia, Spain, which combines a variety of architectural styles with a deep historical culture. The main gate on the west side is gorgeous Baroque style , the south gate retains Roman arches, and the main structure is dominated by Gothic , forming a unique architectural style . It gives people a solemn and sacred feeling.
It is worth seeing that a church has a variety of architectural styles, incorporating Gothic, Roman and Baroque styles. It was built in 1262 in traditional Gothic style and is located on the former site of the Roman temple of the moon god Tiana, which was later changed to a mosque. The west side facing the Plaza de Salagza is Baroque, while the south gate is Roman.

It is a nice experience overall. It is not very big and it can be explored in about 2 hours in low season. The best part is the tunnel, though it is quite short.
big place. lots of interactive attractions but make sure to take water and food with you. the quality of the last is poor while getting out and back is challenging

The Castle of Penis Cora is the first surprise of this Spanish tour! Penice Cora Castle 🏰, built during the Crusade, pressed at hand, each piece is a blockbuster, the sky can be so blue, like a filter, in addition, this castle is still one of the "right tour" shooting places... rich Mediterranean style.
The small town of Peniscola became famous for being the filming location for the TV series Game of Thrones, which was the filming location of Meereen, one of the three major slave trading ports in the story, where the Dragon Queen, her loyal translator Missandei, and Tyrion Lannister, the Hand of the King, visited.

The Plaza de Sainte Valencia is a landmark building in the old town of Valencia, Spain, and the birthplace of the city. The Tulia River Fountain sculptures in the center of the square, the Baroque Church of the Virgin and the Gothic Cathedral of Valencia, among others, are a multicultural blend that attracts visitors from all over the world.
A large square facility in Valencia, Plaza de la Virgen is also quite attractive to tourists. The square has very ancient architectural customs. Here you can also experience a lot of strong Spanish-style food and some small souvenir shops. I like the restaurants here very much☁️

great hike, absolute spectacular views as you can see 1000% worth the experience, approx take 30-1 hour to get up there. museums as well but didn’t go in them.
The cost of the lift up to the top is very cheap and cost 5 euros for two of us to go up. It is free to walk either up or down. Amazing views of Alicante once you are at the top. There are places to sit and have a quick drink which is great for when the weather is too hot! A good way to spend a few hours during the day time of your holiday.

The best zoo or animal experience we had in Spain so far, expect to take 4-6 hours to enjoy everything with a bit of break in between. I would 100% suggest to get the combo ticket that includes food as it's much cheaper and expect the food to be a big portion which in my opinion can be shared if someone is a light eater.
The Valencia Zoo has existed for a long time. The zoo itself is quite large, and there are many species of animals here. It is a great place with rich resources. Many areas in the zoo can be slowly understood and visited, and many small animal species can be collected.

An ancient castle with a long history from the 14th century. The whole building itself has many small things worth appreciating. You can also see many good projects in the whole tall castle. The visit here is not very long, and you can get to know the characteristics of this place.

The Silk Trading Center in Valencia, Spain, is also a world cultural heritage. The Silk Hall is quite large, with several spiral columns, a beautiful ceiling and a spiral staircase. There is a garden outside. The whole tour takes only about 20 minutes.
The Silk Exchange has a history of 300 years. This exchange is also very interesting. You can see many nice old things here. Silk items are also quite popular. The business of the exchange has existed for more than a hundred years.

Valencia’s historical buildings and historical classics are also very good. It is not far from the capital of Spain. It is a city full of romance. The beach is also one of the most beautiful places for summer vacation. I like the customs here very much.
This is the most famous beach in Malaysia. The coastline here is very long and the sea water is very clear. It is a very good choice to sunbathe on the beach. The beach is also very soft. There are also many good restaurants around.
