The most important cultural events in Valencia
Valencia is a vibrant and lively city. In recent years it has become the trendiest city in which to spend a fantastic holiday or live.

This achievement has been the result of a perfect combination of historical charm, enviable climate, breathtaking infrastructures and a great cultural and leisure scene. Take note of all the cultural events you can enjoy if you come to Valencia:
Discover the Valencia of Joaquín Sorolla
The first proposal is a cultural route through the places in the painter's hometown that marked his life and works. From the Benlliure House Museum to the Museum of Fine Arts. During this tour through the historic center, you will learn about Sorolla's biography as a painter and as a son, nephew, husband and father, thus getting closer to his most personal side and the places that he himself would recommend you to visit today.

Is there a better way to discover the mysteries of the city than by moonlight? We recommend you take the night-time guided tour "Myths and Legends by the Moon of Valencia" during the summer months.

Another reason why Valencia has become a cultural city to enjoy at any time of the year and at any age is because of its extensive calendar of festivals and live music. To experience a festival in the heart of the City of Arts and Sciences is an experience you have to have at least once in your life.

Or the festivals in the Viveros Gardens during the month of July, the light and the space is simply spectacular.
