Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias

As one of the 12 Treasures of Spain, the City of Arts and Sciences is a must-visit destination in Valencia! It’s a cultural and architectural complex located right next to the old town and it stands out for its wideness and for the insane beauty of its structures. 

This modern side of Valencia is one of our favourites and if you were expecting a old city, this contemporary architecture will truly surprise you!

You can come here at differen times of the day and catch all the type of lights enhancing the sublime architecture. But one of the best one, to get the perfect Instagram shot, is the golden hour: you can enhoy a unforgettable sunset by the City of Arts and Sciences and shot the perfect photo of Valencia.

Umbracle

The Umbracle is part of the City of Arts and Sciences complex and definitely is one of the most instagrammable places in Valencia.
It’s surrounded by palmtrees and this makes this place so unique, that’s why it tends to be crowded most of the time. Try to wait for a peaceful moment and get your perfect Instagram shot!
The concept behind the Umbracle is to recreate an exotic environment in a Mediterranean city; in its 320 meters you can find over 100 fixed and floating arches standing 18 meters high and several varieties of plants such as palm trees, orange trees, pampas grass, bougainvillea, climbing plants, lotus, rosemary and lavender and much more!

If you come here during the day you can enjoy one of best spots in Valencia but if you decide to come at night, well, get ready and dress up, because the Umbracle turns into one of the best nighclubs in town! 
The two floor disco club offers different kinds of music, the best lightning, delicious drinks and an amazing and scenic atmosphere.

Torres de Serranos (the old gates)

Nowadays, there’s only a few left of the old 12 gates of the Valencia city wall and Torres the Serrano is one of them. It was built in Valencian Gothic style at the end of the 14th century and it’s located in the northeast side of the old town, in the city centre.

Back in the centuries, its main purpose was to defend the city, but it also was used for welcoming guests and ambassadors, for cerimonies as it was the main entrance to the city.

If you decide to shoot some picture here, you will find a very good preserved historical site and also a little busy during the day, that’s why we suggest you to go up there early in the morning.

Valencia Cathedral

In our list of the most instagrammable places in Valencia, it couldn’t miss the main Cathedral  of the city. The façade of the church is amazing, but the real gem is the gothic ceiling that you’ll be able to visit by buying an entrance (we suggest you to do it in advance). And same as for most of the other attractions, you should go in the moring to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and avoid crowds.

Mercado de Colón

The Colon Market is an emblematic building located in the Old Town and for sure one of the most instagrammable places in Valencia. If you are a foodie and also an architecture lover, with this market you’ll satisfy both your hobbies!

Inside the market you can find so many spots where to savour some quality local dishes and shot the perfect #foodporn picture!

And if you go right at the entrance of the building, you will be surprised with one of the most insta-worthy views in Valencia...it is so beautiful, especially with the morning light!

Puente de Las Flores 

You can find this insta-friendly spot close to the Torres de Serranos. It’s a lovely bridge connecting two parts of Valencia and is decorated with lots of colorful Flowers that are worth being captured in a picture. If you are seeking the perfect Instagram shot, make sure you put Puente de Las Flores on the Valencia itinerary!

Ayuntamiento de Valencia 

The City Hall, located in the main square of Valencia (Plaza del Ayuntamiento), is considered one of the best Instagram spots in Valencia. If you’re looking for the perfect shot for your IG feed, here you have a nice location!

Place yourself in the middle of the square and you’ll be surrounded by palmtrees, flowers, a fountain, the City Hall building in the background...and the perfect shot is served! 

Valencia Bullring

When in Valencia, you can’t miss a visit to the Plaza de Toros, where the bullring was built. The Neoclassical architecture of this emblematic building, designed by Sebastián Monleón Estellés, is worthy of a souvenir picture of your Spanish experience.

Our advice is to go early in the morning or even after the sunset, when the soft golden light gives it a nice touch.

Other instagrammable places in Valencia

Jardín de Monforte

This romantic oasis in the city centre, The Monforte Gardens, definitely is one of the most beautiful places in Valencia.

It combines a Neoclassical garden with an artistic layout, lots of statues, ponds, fountains, and narrown paths, creating a suggestive landscape. This is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic date or a relaxing walk, but also to get the unique shot for your IG feed!

Playa Patacona

If you’re living in Valencia, the beach will probably be one of the places you will love the most! You can reach it in a few minutes by bus, metro or bike and you can enjoy a nice evening there with your uni friends or colleagues.

But if you want to shoot some nice pictures, our tip is to avoid crowded beaches such as La Malvarrosa and choose La Patacona. This beach stretches northwards after La Malvarrosa, and even though it’s really close to Valencia, it belongs to the municipality of Alboraya.
La Patacona beach is considered a top spot for a sunset shooting session.

This is the must-visit street if you are looking for the perfect city shot! Calle de la Paz is a historical avenue with an enchanting architecture dated back to the1800s and we promise you that it is one of the most instagrammable places in Valencia.
