Found on Spain’s eastern coast, Valencia is the third-most populated municipality in the country, and a popular destination for holidaymakers from around the globe. A historically rich city that was founded in the heyday of the Roman Empire, Valencia is also one of the oldest cities in Europe, making it a fascinating place to visit for those interested in history and culture.
Once you have landed at Valencia Airport, the easiest way to get around is by car. Whether you want to explore the bars, restaurants and cafes in the city centre, or head down to the stunning beaches, there’s so much to do in and around Valencia that you’re truly spoiled for choice. Consider hiring a vehicle to make the most of your Valencia visit.
There are several rules and regulations that must be obeyed when driving in and around Valencia. While it’s tempting to get in the car right away and drive off to explore what this beautiful part of Spain has to offer, it’s worth reading through these important rules of the road first.
Arguably the most well-known attraction in Valencia is the City of Arts & Sciences, which is a multi-complex comprised of museums, theatres, cinemas, art galleries and more – a must-visit for anyone who wants to understand Valencian culture and history.
There are also many beautiful beaches along Valencia’s coastline, which are hugely popular with locals and tourists in the summer. Cooling off for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea is practically a rite of passage if you visit in the summer months.
The Central Market of Valencia is another top attraction for tourists, especially foodies. You can buy some of the finest local produce, from authentic Spanish paella and chorizo to fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.
The Mestalla Stadium in the city is home to Valencia CF, who play in La Liga, Spanish football’s top division. As well as the chance to go and see a game, the stadium also offers tours, which is a must for any football fans.
Whether you want to drive half an hour out of the city to explore nearby local towns and villages or want to go further afield to see some more of Spain, there are numerous road trips that you can do from Valencia.
Albufera (not to be confused with Albufeira, in southern Portugal) is about half an hour outside of the city and is home to Spain’s largest freshwater lagoon. Try some authentic Spanish paella or a boat trip while basking under the Spanish sun.
For those wanting to go further afield, Valencia sits around 3.5 hours from both Barcelona and Madrid, so you could drive up the east coast to visit Barcelona, home to the Nou Camp, Sagrada Familia, Güell Park and much more. Or, drive cross-country to Madrid, passing through numerous Spanish villages and towns on your way to the country’s capital, where you can find the Plaza Mayor, Santiago Bernabéu, Temple of Debod and countless museums, galleries, restaurants and bars.
There are several car types available for hire in Valencia, ranging from small and compact vehicles such as the Fiat 500 and Toyota Aygo to SUVs such as the Volkswagen T-Cross and Peugeot 2008. There is also a mixture of both manual and automatic cars.
There are many car hire suppliers to choose from, including some of the biggest names in the industry including (but not limited to): Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, National and Sixt.
