 A palatial-style building |
Plaza del Ayuntamiento 1 Valencia 46002 Spain +34 96 351 0417 http://www.ayto-valencia.es/ |
Situated in the square which bears the same name, you will find the Ayuntamiento de Valencia (Valencia Town Hall), a key point of reference for visitors and inhabitants equally. Built in an eclectic style, it is home to the daily hectic movements of officialdom. It is also the best seat in the house, as it were, to watch the most characteristic events of the city, such as the daily mascletá (daylight fireworks) during the week of the Fallas festival. The Ayuntamiento was built in the 18th century. Inside there is an elegent marble staircase, a ballroom and the council meeting room. The City History Museum can also be found under the roof of this noble building. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Very interesting Modernist building |
Xàtiva, 24 Valencia 46002 Spain +34 902 24 0202 / +34 902 24 3402 http://www.renfe.es/ |
This train station is another example of Modernist art at its best. It's found next to the bullring, on Xàtiva Street, and it was built between 1909 and 1917 by Demetrio Ribes. One of its most noteworthy features is the central hall with beautiful mosaics representing delicate flowers and more. The bays are as attractive now as they were years ago, and still have the elegance you might find in an old black and white movie. This building is perhaps a good reflection of the changes and culture in Valencia at the turn of the last century. All of this is now harmoniously mixed with the most modern technology in trains and transportation. From this station leave commuter trains and trains to the main Spanish and European cities.

Connections to leading European cities |
Calle del Maestro Guerrero Valencia, Valencia 46940 Spain +34 96 159 8500 |
Valencia International Airport is located in Manises township, 8km from the city. From here you can catch direct flights to leading European and Spanish cities and connections to the entire world. However, the modern facilities still are not sufficient to handle the increased passenger volume, so plans for expansion are underway.In the Bloque Técnico (Technical Area) you'll find Aeroclub Valencia (Valencia Air Club), where they offer flying lessons and the opportunity to enjoy exciting light aircraft trips to the best landscapes in Valencia. A taxi ride to Valencia costs between 1500 and 2000 ptas. Review © 2007, Wcities |
