Ciutat Vella is the district of grand squares and historic buildings, as well as street art and tapas bars.
For the historic heart of the city, Ciutat Vella is the place to be. Wandering through the maze of narrow streets, you will arrive at several large squares. Here you will find beautiful palaces and churches from prosperous periods of the city's history, as well as numerous museums. The backstreets are home to a lot of street art. This art form is taught at the University of Valencia and many students have left their signatures here. Around the beautiful market hall of the Mercado Central are many nice tapas restaurants, where you can settle down after a long walk to take a rest and taste some tasty local food.
