Two days can be enough to discover some of Valencia’s most special places, as long as you plan your getaway well. The key is choosing well-located accommodation and creating an itinerary that combines heritage, culture, gastronomy, gardens and urban art. At Mythic, we suggest a walking route to discover the city and make the most of your stay.
Day 1: Valencia’s historic centre
Start the morning around the Serranos Towers, one of Valencia’s most recognisable monuments and located very close to Mythic. From there, cross into the El Carmen neighbourhood and let yourself wander through its streets: it is one of the city’s main landmarks and also one of the best places to discover urban art.
Continue towards the heart of the historic centre to visit some of its great icons — the Cathedral, El Miguelete, the Silk Exchange and the Central Market — on a relatively compact route that combines heritage, gastronomy and art without requiring long journeys.
Take your time. One of the best ways to discover Valencia is to leave room for spontaneity: in El Carmen, look up, step into its small streets and discover the artistic interventions that appear throughout the neighbourhood. It is precisely this mix of historic architecture and contemporary creativity that makes every walk feel different.
Day 2: Turia Gardens, culture and contemporary Valencia
Day 2: Turia Gardens, culture and contemporary Valencia
From there, spend part of the day discovering Valencia’s more contemporary side. The IVAM is an essential stop for anyone interested in the city’s modern and contemporary art.
And between one visit and the next, return to Mythic
Choosing where to stay is also part of the journey. Mythic occupies a restored former industrial building and retains an industrial aesthetic that makes its 24 rooms all different from one another. The hotel itself also incorporates urban art into its spaces, with murals created by Valencian artists PichiAvo — so the artistic experience does not end when you return from exploring the city.
An urban getaway with personality
Valencia offers plenty to enjoy during a two-day break: heritage, gastronomy, gardens, architecture, art and lively neighbourhoods. If you want to discover it all from accommodation close to the centre, Mythic puts you just a few steps from some of the city’s most interesting places.
Pack your bag, put on comfortable shoes and start discovering Valencia.
