One of the things we like most about Carrer del Túria is that it still maintains the essence of the neighborhood. It is a street full of life and charm with traditional stores, bakeries, bars, alternative cafes, bookstores, theaters, wine shop, jewelry store, dental clinic, psychology clinic, art school, personal training center, and many restaurants that are really good. This street has it all! Calle Turia is pure explosion of chaotic and artistic activity. Located in the Botanical district and in the heart of the Historic Center of Valencia, it will captivate you from the very first moment.
By popular request from our coworkers who come from different parts of the map, we have decided to write this article, with recommendations of places to visit and activities to do in the surroundings. Let’s go!
Tourism
Tourism Enjoy the Turia River
Enjoy the Turia RiverJust 3 minutes away from the Coworking, an essential stop awaits you: the Turia River. For us, it is one of the jewels of Valencia, the true lung of our city. It is the perfect place to disconnect, take a break and marvel at its rich fauna and flora.
Did you know that one of the favorite activities of tourists is to cycle along the riverbed? And no wonder. The plain that crosses the city makes pedaling a real pleasure, besides being super environmentally friendly.
And if you are more into sports, don’t think about it! Going for a run along the Turia is a unique experience. We tell you from experience: it is pure fantasy. So now you know, put on your running shoes and enjoy this green oasis in the heart of Valencia.
If you feel like a day of rest with your children, family or friends, we also recommend that you visit the Parque de Cabecera, where you will also find the Bioparc, a zoo that immerses visitors in the natural and wild spaces of its inhabitants.
Discover the Botanical Garden
A real green oasis awaits you just a stone’s throw from the coworking space: the Botanical Garden. Founded in 1567, this treasure houses more than 4,500 species of plants in its 4 hectares and is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe.
For only 2,50€, you can lose yourself among palm trees, cactus, insectivorous plants and a mini tropical forest. It is the perfect place to disconnect from work and get inspired with new ideas.
Tip: bring your notebook or tablet. Among so much natural beauty, who knows? Maybe your next big project will be born here, surrounded by nature.
Explore the imposing Quart Towers
Impossible to overlook: the Quart Towers rise majestically on the skyline of Valencia. Part of the ancient medieval wall, these 15th century fortifications are a living testimony to the history of the city.
Don’t just admire them from below. For a small entrance fee, you can climb up and enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Valencia.
Insider’s tip: go up at sunset to see how the sun bathes the city in golden tones.
Lose yourself in the charm of Barrio del Carmen
Get ready to immerse yourself in the bohemian heart of Valencia: the Barrio del Carmen. This labyrinth of narrow streets and surprising squares is a magnet for tourists and locals alike, and for good reason!
Here, the ancient and the modern merge in a unique blend. Medieval buildings coexist with spectacular graffiti, creating an open-air museum that changes with every visit.
We invite you to wander through its streets aimlessly. Discover small craft stores, bars with personality and corners full of history. Don’t miss the Plaza del Carmen, the heart of the neighborhood, or the impressive Gothic façade of the Iglesia del Carmen.
Tip, visit both during the day and at night. El Carmen has two completely different personalities that are worth experiencing.
Immerse yourself in the Central Market of Valencia.
Just 10 minutes away from our Coworking and Turia Street, an experience that will awaken all your senses awaits you: the Central Market of Valencia.
This impressive modernist building, inaugurated in 1928, is not just a market, it is the gastronomic heart of the city. With more than 300 stalls under its iron and glass dome, it is a visual and culinary feast.
In the morning, the market bustles with activity. It is the perfect time to:
