Book the Oceanogràfic before anything else

This is the ticket that should fix your dates. The aquarium's calendar sets the price and hours day by day, and general admission rises by just over €6 from low to high season. Choose the day there, then build the rest of the trip around it.

How to split three days

Old town: the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange), the Cathedral, San Nicolás, Santos Juanes and the Centro de Arte Hortensia Herrero.
City of Arts and Sciences and Oceanogràfic: a full day. The complex allows 3 hours for the science museum and 4 for the aquarium.
Bioparc: a morning, because its closing time follows the daylight.

Do you need the Tourist Card?

The 24, 48 or 72-hour Valencia Tourist Card earns its keep if you'll ride the metro and buses and go into several municipal museums. It covers bus, metro, tram and Cercanías local trains, airport stop included. Skip it for a trip built around the Oceanogràfic, where it only gets you a discount. The 7-day card is a different product: no transport, but the Cathedral and IVAM.

For an evening with a ticket, look at flamenco.

★★★★★
Excellent, Fantastic, Incredible, are some of the words that go through your head as you are leaving the venue. The dolphins show and the walk through the tunnel are the highlight of the visit. Gets a little crowded in parts and shop is a little expensive (like all gift shops) The site is very well organised with plenty of places to eat dotted around, a great day out, well worth visiting, highly recommended:)

The Red Bus Hop-On Hop-Off tour was a fantastic way to see Valencia’s top attractions with ease. The route covers all the major sights, the audio guide was informative, and the flexibility to hop on and off made sightseeing stress-free. Comfortable buses, friendly staff, and great value for money. Highly recommended for first-time visitors!

Aquopolis Cullera is the perfect day out during summer! The Calajungla area kept our kids entertained for hours, while we loved the excitement of Calypso and Mini Park. Booking our tickets online ahead of time saved us from waiting in line in the morning heat.

A lovely, clean water park with a brilliant selection of slides and pools. The lifeguards are super attentive and vigilant. Getting our mobile tickets scanned right from our phones made entry completely hassle-free.

One day for the old town, one for the City of Arts and Sciences with the Oceanogràfic, and a morning for the Bioparc. The complex allows about 3 hours for the science museum and 4 for the aquarium.

The aquarium is the Oceanogràfic, inside the City of Arts and Sciences. You pay for it separately, though combo tickets add the science museum and the Hemisfèric.
