Overview
Discover contemporary Valencia on this relaxing and fun bike tour. Accompanied by an enthusiastic guide, your tour starts with the Turia Gardens. These colourful gardens are the central green area in Valencia and occupy the old Turia River bed which was re-routed following devastating floods in 1957. The gardens comprise parks, ponds and fountains and stretch the length of Valencia like a long green ribbon, separating the Old Quarter from the new city. From here the tour heads to the breathtaking City of Arts & Sciences. The complex was built to celebrate the millennium and the amazing futuristic architecture is fast becoming a tourist hotspot. Although the buildings house the Science Museum, Planetarium and an Oceanarium, it is the imaginative design that attracts both locals and visitors alike. Your bike tour takes in its four star turns, the Hemisferic Planetarium, the Principe Felipe Science Museum, the Oceanarium and the Reina Sofia Arts Palace.
