Embark on an enchanting journey through Valencia's historical heart, exploring the rich tapestry of its 2,000-year-old old town on our captivating bike tour.

OVERVIEW

Undoubtedly, the old town of Valencia is the biggest jewel in the crown of the city. Its story starts in times immemorial, with the Romans who first set their foot here. Having settled down on this spot in 138 BC, they called it “Valentia”. While you will be cycling through twisted and vibrant streets that still bear traces of the once-mightiest empire on earth, you will agree that there could not be a more fit name for this city, - so much energy and vibrancy is around!

But it is not only the Romans who left their imprints here. What makes Valencia such a remarkable place is that over centuries it has experienced different cultural influences that once and for all have left their marks on everything which is usually referred to as material culture. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Visigoths took control of the city. Their ruling was shortlived and came to an end with the Arab invasion.

It goes without saying that their 500-year rule did not sink into oblivion, the Arab legacy is deeply entrenched in the very soul of the city. Only in 1238, Valencia became again a Christian city, when King James I reconquered it.

During our bike tour, you will pass by many iconic landmarks of the old town revealing its turbulent and fascinating history. You will see the 14th century Puerta de los Serranos, once part of the defensive fortifications of the city, representing a nice piece of gothic architecture. Right in the heart of Valencia's old town, you will find the charming Plaza de la Virgen which construction is attributed to the Romans. With the most symbolic buildings around, such as the Cathedral, the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the Palace of the Generalitat and the picturesque fountain in the center, this square is a perfect place to make a stop and take photos.

From there you will proceed to another top tourist destination - the Central Market. With its more than 1,200 stores, stall and shops, it is one of the largest covered markets in Europe. This busy and lively place literally buzzes with life, and the sun light penetrating through nicely colored windows of the building whimsically illuminates the interior.

We look forward to seeing you on this breathtaking bike tour around the very heart of Valencia.
