 Valencia Town Center
Plaza (Placa) del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square) in the center of town is the most important square in Valencia.
The location of many celebrations such as Las Fallas, the square is situated not far from the main train station (Estaciòn del Norte) which is next to Valencia bullring.
 The historical quarter, Seu-Xerea barrrio (Cathedral neighbourhood), is only a few square miles so very easy to explore on foot.
Inside this area is the medieval Cathedral of Valencia and the very trendy and fashionable area of Barrio del Carmen. This is where all the bars, restaurants and best nightlife in Valencia is.
There are many lovely hotels in the Old Town and lots of things to do. The nearest metro station is Xativa which is in the center of town where all the many wonderful shops, restaurants, theatres, museums and art galleries are located.

In Plaza de Toros there's a very large bull ring with four levels containing twenty four rows in the stands. In a street nearby is a museum dedicated to bullfighting memorabilia.
There are so many things to do in Valencia and as the transport is so good, it's easy to get around Valencia town center and the surrounding areas.
When the new metro station opens next to Mercado Central in the Historic Quarter in 2012 or 2013, it will be even easier to travel around Valencia town center.
Valencia Oranges & Valencia  FlowersValencia is full of orange trees and the famous Valencia oranges are on sale in all the shops.
The parks and gardens are full of flowers and in Plaza del Ayuntamiento there are rows of shops selling Valencia flowers.
The well known Spanish song Valencia lyrics also confirm this love of flowers saying Valencia is the land of "flowers, light and love".
Thousands of flowers are used in the many festivals in Valencia and the Turia Gardens (which run through the city of Valencia) is full of flowers, fountains, ponds, sports facilities, concert halls.
 Last but by no means least, the jaw-dropping, futuristic City of Arts and Sciences is at the end of the Turia Gardens not far from the port and city beach of Valencia.
