One afternoon in Valencia’s futuristic city

If you visit 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 this is certainly one of the places you should not miss‼️ 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 has many highlight when it comes to architecture, and if 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮 got 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪 𝘎𝘢𝘶𝘥í, 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 has 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘢. The architect, born in 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 in 1951, is the creative mind behind one of the most photographed buildings here, the 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀. 🗓This project opened in 1998, but construction still continued up until 2005 when the last of its buildings was complete. The several constructions in this area have different purposes: - 𝙃𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘: this eye-shaped building is used as a IMAX Cinema 🍿 - 𝙎𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙪𝙢: the longest of the building in this complex is a museum devoted to communicate and teach about sciences 🧬 - 𝙐𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙡𝙚: this is a garden paralel to the museum where one can find many species of local trees and plants 🌴 - 𝙊𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙘: this is the largest aquarium in Europe 🦈 - 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙖 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚: It hosts the Opera Theatre of Valencia and is devoted to arts and music 🎭 - 𝘼𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖: this is the latest project to get a purpose, when it was open this same year, 2022, as a 𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘹𝘢𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮, a project of the Spanish financial entity "𝘓𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘹𝘢" that hosts different exhibitions and that we got to visit inside 🖼 👉Definitely you would need one whole day to visit the entire complex, but many people come here to enjoy the views from the outside, to chill sitting by the water lakes 💦 and dipping the feet inside the water, or even there is the possibility to rent a transparent bottom kayak 🛶 or paddel surf board to move around the man-made lake in front of the buildings. Certainly a place for kids and adults to enjoy a good time while in 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮 and admire the magnificent architecture and creativity of the buildings around. Take your time time to stroll around and enjoy the view peacefully and slowly. 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: get into the Agora building - recently open in 2022 as a 𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘹𝘢𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮, entrance is free of charge 🎟- you would only need to pay if you wish to visit any of the exhibition they have - and you will get to enjoy a fantastic view of the building from inside. Its design reminds us of a 🐳 whale skeleton (𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 😂) and they have a public staircase with comfortable seating and even charging loads to plug in your phone when you run out of battery because you take too many pics and vids This was our visit to the 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 in 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮, hope you like it and let us know if you have been there and have some tips to make the visit even more enjoyable #bucketlistreboot #spain #spaintravel #valencia #valenciatravel
