About this experience

Join a small group to explore the medieval heart of Valencia on foot with a licensed local guide. This tour delves into the city’s rich history, dating back to its Roman foundation 2000 years ago, and its subsequent influences from Arab and Christian cultures. Discover the significance of Valencia as a cultural center in Europe, particularly during its silk industry boom, which established it as a key port for silk trade. Notable sites include the Torres de Serrano, which safeguarded important artworks during the Spanish Civil War, and the remnants of the Muslim Walls that blend into the city's urban landscape. This experience suits those interested in history and cultural heritage. The walking tour is conducted in a small group to enhance the experience. Be prepared for a moderate amount of walking. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
