School trip to Valencia

Mediterranean sea and pure culture

Valencia glows with endless beaches, bars and clubs on the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean lightness and the famous friendly mentality of the lively metropolis are sure to immediately cast a spell over the school trip participants. Did you know that paella was invented here?

Fallas festivals, the bullring and the Silk Exchange (La Lonja de la Seda) are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites, palaces in the charming old town of El Carmen are surrounded by labyrinths and legends... the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences (La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) delights with true discoveries and a boat trip with a romantic sunset lures you to the nearby Albufera National Park.
