The Spanish city of Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and is characterised by its lovely architecture, both old and new. The city is known for its excellent Mediterranean climate while the region as a whole has many fine beaches and more than 500 km of coastline. The city is famous in the gastronomic world as being the home of paella and has many fine restaurants which includes a large selection of Tapas bars in the Old Quarter, around the Plaza de la Reina. Popular with visitors is the Valencia City of Arts and Science which contains four main attractions: L'Hemisferic Planetarium which as the name suggests is a planetarium but also a cinema; the Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofia which promotes the city's arts scene; the Parque Oceanografico which includes Beluga Whales, Dolphins, Penguins and a range of tropical fish; and the Museo de las Ciencias Principe Felipe which is a museum that focuses on science and interactive technology.

The Port of Valencia has regular passenger services to and from the Balearic Islands and Italy, along with a growing number of visiting cruise ships.
