La Lonja de la Seda is an impressive masterpiece of gothic architecture listed as a UNESCO site, dating back to the late-15th-century.

Talking about great landmarks, just opposite the Silk Exchange, there is another prime site, the impressive Central Market. It's an art nouveau metal and glass design that blends completely with the old town. This is a foodie haven where over 400 traders sell fresh produce from farms and the sea.

Take some fresh produce if you love cooking in your Valencia holiday villa.

5. Ride a bike

6. Discover a culinary experience

If you love food, Valencian cuisine can surprise you in many ways, but there is one thing that makes it stand out: the popular Valencian paella. This rice dish was created right here with rice grown in the fields around the city, fresh vegetables, seafood and meat. The dish's name comes from the big pans that it's cooked in. Have some traditional meat paella with chicken, or go for the seafood recipes with lobster, prawns, mussels or squid. Want to become a paella expert? Consider taking some cooking lessons.

7. Go to the Parque Gulliver

If you decide to go for a stroll along the Jardín del Turia with your children, head to the ingenious attraction close to the City of the Arts and Sciences.

Let the little ones enjoy themselves and have a great time on the slides, ramps and every single interactive feature in the park. If you like playing chess, have a go at the giant chessboard or enjoy a mini-golf round.
