The Valencia City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where Valencians really eat paella and at what time, which towers are worth the steps, how to do the City of Arts and Sciences and the Albufera well and where the night goes after a half-past-nine dinner. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Casa Carmela
Malvarrosa, Carrer d’Isabel de Villena
Paella has been cooked over a wood fire here since 1922, in a covered courtyard a short walk from the sand. The Valenciana comes with real socarrat, the crunchy layer of rice stuck to the pan. From the food guide.
El Micalet
Ciutat Vella, cathedral bell tower
The cathedral’s bell tower, also known as the Miguelete: 207 tight steps, then the whole old town, the Turia and the sea laid out below. No booking needed, as people go up roughly every half hour. From the things to do guide.
Bar La Pilareta
Carrer del Moro Zeid, Carmen
A tiled bar pouring since 1917, known for clóchinas, the small local mussels, and a long run of simple tapas. Tick what you want on the paper list and settle in. From the nightlife guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Valencia scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the historic centre. The guides carry on from there: rice cooked to order for lunch, a climb up a medieval gate, an evening in Ruzafa or a train to a hilltop castle the next day.
