What to expect
Expect a steady pace on foot through narrow streets and open plazas in Valencia's centre. The guide leads you through the Cathedral's interior where you'll see religious artefacts and learn about the building's Gothic origins. You'll pause outside major monuments to hear their stories—the Silk Exchange's role in Valencia's commercial golden age, the market's role in daily city life. Most viewing happens from street level; interiors are limited to the Cathedral. The tour pieces together how Valencia's medieval wealth shaped its architecture and layout.
