Valencia Town Center
Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square) is the most important square in Valencia. It's the location of many celebrations such as Las Fallas and is situated not far from the main train station (Estaciòn del Norte) which is next to the bullring.
Metro Station, Hotels, Bars
Just seconds away is the metro station of Xativa and the many wonderful shops, hotels, places to eat, theatres, museums and art galleries.
Bullring
Plaça de Bous/Plaza de Toros - Xàtiva
Tel: 963 519 315
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. When the new metro station opens next to Mercado Central in the Old Quarter of Valencia, it will be even easier to travel around Valencia town center.
Valencia Flower Shops
Valencia is famous for having beautiful parks and this love of flowers is reflected in the rows of flower shops in Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Valencia is also known as the land of "flowers, light and love"..... which brings us to the Turia Gardens.
The Turia gardens are situated in the beautiful river bed of the old river Turia (the river has been diverted to a new cause). Here you'll find flowers, fountains, ponds, sports facilities, concert halls and last, but by no means least, the jaw-dropping, futuristic City of Arts and Sciences.
Post Office -Correus/Correos
23, Plaza de Ayuntamiento
If you want to buy some stamps then you're in for a treat! The Post Office is not just any old post office but an amazingly beautiful stone building, flanked by Ionic columns and topped with a magnificent dome.

Historical Quarter of Valencia
The historical quarter, Seu-Xerea barrrio (Cathedral neighbourhood), is very small (it's only a few square miles), so very easy to explore on foot. Inside this area is the trendy and fashionable area of Barrio del Carmen where all the bars, restaurants and best nightlife in Valencia is.
