You'll trace the city's evolution from Roman settlement through Visigothic, Arab, and Aragonese rule, exploring landmarks across the historic centre.

What to expect

Your guide will navigate you through Valencia's old centre, pointing out structures and districts that reveal each cultural layer. You'll see how Romans, Arabs, Visigoths, and later the Crown of Aragon each left their mark on streets, buildings, and urban layout. The pace is steady and manageable; most people with normal fitness can keep up. If you want to explore areas outside the historical core, transport is your responsibility. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
