Thanks for the refresher, Rachel. We visited The City of Arts and Sciences from the outside only, and had a blast just admiring the viewpoints and taking lots of architectural pictures. This area and the greenway are two reasons I want to go back to Valencia soon. It’s unusual for Spain to have the bike and walking trails.

In reply to Ruth. Yes, the problem is that they're all very different. Each place or activity will please one or two of them, but almost never all three.

I loved this place when I visited last year. I didn’t enter the structures though. That would be something I would have to do on a future visit. Seems like your teenagers are hard to please. What they enjoy?

I remember my daughter visited Valencia when she was a teenager (18 years old) and she loved this city. It is a very modern looking city compared to others in Spain. I would love to visit here and see the museums and art galleries.

I like the architecture, but my immediate thought was – how odd to find this in a Spanish city. Then again, every city needs/wants modern buildings for art museums, etc. I’m not sure that I would spend the 30 Euros to go inside, but I would wander around outside and visit the Umbracle. Early morning would be perfect for photos, I think. Yes, they do look like urinals! 🙂 Thanks for co-hosting this week. #TPThursday

In reply to Anita @ No Particular Place To Go. This aquarium would be a great excursion to do with a grandson! If you take your time and really see everything it has to offer, it could take most of a day.

The architecture really is astounding and its futuristic look would really make you do a double take! The walk-through tunnel reminded me of the Atlanta, Georgia Aquarium that we visited in September with our grandson. We spend a long time just standing therein the tunnel, mesmerized by the sea-life, including 2 whale sharks (so enormous) swimming around and overhead. We have yet to visit Valencia but when we do I’d love to City of Arts and Sciences.
