Overview
Your representative will pick you up at you pier or hotel and immediately start explaining the city and its evolution along the centuries, focusing especially on the last ten years.
Your first stop will be the Conference Center, designed by Lord Norman Foster and opened in 1998. From there your tour continues along the former riverbed, now Turia Gardens, to see the Valencia Modern Art Museum (IVAM) and some of the bridges over the Gardens.
You will stop for a closer view of the Calatrava bridge and Underground station. Next you will walk along the Turia Gardens until you reach the Music Hall, created by Garcia Paredes in 1987. Afterwards, visit the City of Arts and Sciences, designed by the renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. Mr. Calatrava was born in Valencia and the city is quite proud of his accomplishments. This site is the new landmark of the city, a state-of-the-art architectural and entertainment complex. It is breathtaking, both from a distance and close up. Continue to walk along the Turia Gardens to observe the impressive North Facade of the Science Museum, which simulates a glazed waterfall over the dry riverbed.
Then walk to the Hemisferic, a building conceived as a large human eye, where IMAX movies, planetarium and laser shows are shown. Finally, visit the Umbraculo, a palm-tree garden covered by a pergola made of iron.
At some point, designated by your guide, make a short stop for a drink. A shopping stop may also be made at the souvenir shops in the City of Arts and Sciences, time permitting.
After your sightseeing, your guide will return to the cruise port, with plenty of time for your ships departure.
