Valencia city breaks receive far less attention than its rivals Barcelona and Madrid, and the southern Spanish cities of Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada. Actually Valencia city breaks rival the others in offering not only one of the liveliest and most enjoyable nightlife in Spain, but also in offering plenty of cultural highlights including superb Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassical architecture, a fascinating cathedral, the beautiful Gotich Silk Exchange and a wonderful modernist covered market. The Museu de Bellas Artes contains a superb art collection. All Valencia  city breaks should include a visit to Valencia's impressive futuristic City of Arts and Science with its planetarium, aquarium and Museum of Sciences.

Barrio del Carmen is a very small area located to the north east of the Old Quarter. The area attracts a mixed group of people of all ages including artists, tourists and locals out to have fun. There are many places to eat and many bars; restaurants and clubs are situated on Calla Cabelleros.

Fiesta fans should plan Valencia city breaks around the city's terrific February Carneval and, above all, Valencia's unbelievable, week-long fireworks extravaganza, las Fallas, in mid March.
