This two-hour guided walking tour covers the essentials of Valencia, focusing on the city's four World Heritage sites within the historic centre. The tour begins at Estacio del Nord railway station with a 20-minute visit inside the building. It continues to Plaça del Ajuntament for 15 minutes, where the guide explains the Fallas festival, added to the UNESCO list in 2016, describing the annual March celebrations with monuments, music, costumes, and fireworks. Next is a 20-minute visit to Ajuntament de Valencia, available only on working days without official events or holidays and not included in evening tours during August and September. The route proceeds to Mercat Central de Valencia for a 10-minute stop to discuss the market’s role and the Mediterranean Diet; entrance is not included in evening tours during August and September. A key part of the tour is a 30-minute visit inside La Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), a civil Gothic building and World Heritage Site since 1996, known for its Sala de Contratación with columns and vaulted ceilings reflecting Valencia’s Golden Age prosperity. Entry to the Silk Exchange is not included in evening tours during August and September. If the Silk Exchange is closed due to an event, tickets will be provided for self-entry later or exchanged for tickets to another museum or monument. The tour also includes an external visit to a site in the historic centre, followed by a 15-minute stop at Plaça de la Mare de Déu to learn about the Tribunal of the Waters, recognized as Intangible Heritage since 2008, which meets every Thursday at noon at the Cathedral’s Apostles’ Gate. The tour is led by a professional guide, may be conducted in multiple languages, and is wheelchair accessible. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Transportation to and from the meeting point is not included.
