How to get there
The City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia is located just a few minutes from the historic center. This emblematic enclave, situated in the final stretch of the old Turia riverbed, is the result of an astonishing transformation that has turned this area into an urban oasis over eight kilometers long, crossing the city from side to side.
