City Information
Essential Information about the city
Valencia Airport (VLC)
Valencia Airport is located approximately eight kilometres west of Valencia. Bus line 150 runs to the city centre and the port, and the journey takes about 45 minutes. You can also take one of the two underground lines that connect the airport with the city; the journey takes about 25 minutes. The taxi service in València is provided by the urban taxis of the joint service area. Please note that there is a supplement for trips from the airport, and make sure that the taxi driver starts the taxi meter at the beginning of the journey. It is advisable to request a receipt in case you need to make a complaint. The metropolitan bus line 150, also known as the Metrobus, connects the airport with the city centre of València, with intermediate stops at Mislata, Quart de Poblet and Manises. Metrovalencia line 3 links the airport with the city centre, the university area and the northern part of the metropolitan area. The station is located on the ground floor of the regional flights terminal, and there is an information office in the arrivals area of the airport.
Passport & Visa
Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Spain, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.
Best Time to Visit
April-June and September-October are the best months for a trip to Valencia when it comes to cultural events, as well as for the weather, which should be warm and mostly sunny. June and the first couple weeks of September are also good for beach holidays: the weather is still warm, but the place is less crowded and the prices are lower. The high season at the seaside is in July-August, but the weather can get very hot then. Whichever dates you choose, don't worry about missing out on nightlife: Valencia is a lively university city, so something is always going on. Last but not least, take a look at the "Event" section of this guide if you haven't: many interesting festivals take place in Valencia during the year, and you might want to include one in your trip. Las Fallas in March is particularly popular, thus very crowded, but so very worth it.
Public Transport
The public transport system consists of a network of buses, underground trains, and trams. It is easy to get around Valencia and the metro is both the fastest and the easiest. Ticket prices vary for a single journey. You can buy combination tickets that include all means of transportation. The Valencia Tourist Card is a good option for tourists.
