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

It’s very diverse and I learned a lot. We paid over €100 for the family of 2 adults, 1 child, then extra for audio guides, so a little too expensive

The Plaza de la Virgen in Valencia is one of the must-see attractions in the old town. There is a very eye-catching fountain here, and there are many restaurants on the square. The Church of the Virgen de Valencia is very elegant and beautiful. Although the church inside is not big, the paintings on its dome are magnificent and colorful, which makes people marvel.

The Church of San Nicola in Valencia is also a very old church. The church has a very delicate and luxurious dome. There are very beautiful murals on the dome, all of which are biblical stories and angel statues. It feels very mysterious and ancient.
