6. The Turia Gardens
After plenty of floodings due to the Turia River’s overflow, authorities decided to divert the river bed to avoid disasters. In 1986, the park was constructed over the old river channel, becoming one of the biggest urban parks in Spain. If you want to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful moment, discover the Turia Gardens.

7. Bioparc
A must-see place if you visit Valencia with family. It’s not a typical zoo, it’s a place where they teach younger, as well as older, generations to love and respect animals. It has four natural African ambiences for a unique experience: wetlands, Savannah, Madagascar and equatorial forest.

8. The Albufera
If you want to get away from daily stress, nothing better than visiting the Albufera Natural Park. Go sailing and have a paella for lunch at the Palmar. Finish the day with a stroll around the Saler.
