00:00hey everyone it's kritika welcome back to my channel i am in valencia in spain right now

00:17this is the third largest city in spain i've actually been living here for the last few weeks

00:22kind of just moved here for a month and i'm absolutely loving this city but in this video

00:26i thought i'll put my tourist hat on and take you around the city and show you what all you

00:29can do in valencia if you plan a trip here or if you want to just virtually explore valencia

00:34so let's go around and explore this beautiful city

00:36my first stop in valencia is this stunning futuristic architectural complex that you see behind me

00:55called the city of arts and sciences this building is sort of become synonymous with valencia's

01:01modern identity i feel like if you google valencia this is probably one of the buildings that shows

01:06up in the top searches it's a very futuristic looking building as you can see in fact i think

01:10some sci-fi movies have been shot here as well so it consists of different parts there are scientific

01:15and artistic centers over here so there's the oceanographic which is the aquarium there's the

01:21hemispheric where you can watch 4d shows i think there's a science museum there's an art museum so

01:25there's a lot to do over here but even if you're not planning to go inside any of them i feel like

01:30this building is just worth checking out so just taking a stroll around it is worth it as well

01:34i am now inside the umbricle which is this garden that you see over here so right next to the city

01:53of arts and science which you can see in the back there is the staircase that brings you up here and

01:58this park is absolutely free of cost so there's no entry fee and it's got this beautiful rooftop

02:04architecture there are tons of palm trees some interesting sculptures here and it's very nice

02:08to stroll through valencia was actually awarded the title of the european green capital uh in 2024

02:14and i can see why there are lots of green spaces over here but speaking of green spaces let me take

02:19you to the next stop right next to the city of arts and sciences is this beautiful garden which is

02:32where i am right now it's called turia park and it's got a very interesting history to it so back

02:37in the day this actually used to be a river that separated the city into like two different sites

02:42but sometime in the 20th century there was actually a flood over here and i believe the actual river

02:47was diverted to an artificial route and then this part was later converted into a park and it's an

02:53absolutely beautiful park it's around nine kilometers long and on one end of it is the city of arts

02:58and sciences and you can easily spend hours just walking around here you can see people cycling

03:02i also did a segway tour sometime last week and segwayed through this park as well which was really

03:08nice there are also lots of playgrounds here one of them is called park gulliver which is actually

03:12inspired by gulliver's travels which i thought was very interesting but it's so nice to have such a

03:17large green space in the middle of the city there are also tons of bridges that you can walk under

03:21and these days because the weather has gotten kind of warm and it's sunny outside you can see lots of

03:26people are having picnics so very often i get asked how i find vegetarian food when i'm traveling abroad

03:37usually it's quite easy to find but especially in valencia i've not had any issues at all there are

03:43lots of veggie friendly restaurants and fully vegetarian restaurants as well like the one i'm at

03:47right now this is called copenhagen and it's looking really nice our food just got here and i ordered

03:54like a tasting menu i think there are three appetizers one main and one dessert all for 14 50 euros which i

04:01think is a good deal so yeah i'm very excited for this meal we ordered cauliflower for appetizers

04:06which looks like gobi 65 and tastes like gobi 65 as well but it's really good

04:13well the food there was great i really enjoyed that meal and this restaurant is in a really nice

04:22neighborhood called rucifer which is where i'm actually staying it's a very trendy and artistic

04:27neighborhood and while i'm here i thought i'll give you a tour of rucifer

04:31next up i'm checking out the ceramics museum which is this beautiful building that you see behind me

04:48so spain is kind of known for its ceramics and a bunch of people recommended this museum to me

04:53i feel like normally i may have skipped something like this um but it does look like a really pretty

04:57building i'm not exactly sure what to expect inside but i think they have like a collection from the

05:0218th century to the contemporary times and also some pieces by picasso so it sounds really interesting

05:07and honestly this building is just so beautiful so let's go inside and check out this museum

05:12no trip to valencia is complete without visiting its old town and this famous cathedral behind me

05:41so this cathedral dates back to the 13th century and you can buy tickets uh and go inside it as

05:46well it's a beautiful structure i happened to watch a concert the other day which was like a free

05:51concert so i got to go check out the cathedral for free which was really nice but this cathedral

05:55houses the holy chalice and you can see stunning frescoes and it's very beautiful but this here is the

06:01main square in old town this is called plaza de la rena and there are lots of nice eating joints

06:05over here you can take a stroll through old town and check out beautiful alleys and cute courtyards

06:11which is what i'm going to be doing right now and close to this place is also the main central

06:16market of valencia which is supposedly the largest uh market in europe so yeah let's go check all of

06:22this out something i really love about valencia is that it's such a walkable city the public transport

06:47here is great you can easily get taxis as well um i use this app called free now and cab is fine when

06:52i have to book taxis and they've got a great bus system and a metro system but even then it's such

06:58a walkable city everything is like within a 30 minute radius of each other i feel like so i've mostly

07:03just been walking over here and if i have to go somewhere far i just end up booking a taxi which

07:08also is quite affordable here

07:22this building behind me is the central market of valencia and it's the largest market in europe

07:40for fresh produce it's i think around 8 000 square meters large so it's massive and i've heard the

07:46architecture inside is really beautiful as well besides fresh produce you can also try out different

07:50types of food so i'm going to take a stroll inside and check out this market wow this market is massive

08:02and there's so much food in here also the building itself is so beautiful

08:20so one of the drinks you must try when you're in valencia is orchata this is what it looks like

08:29it looks like milk but it's apparently made of tiger nuts i didn't even know what tiger nuts are to be

08:34honest uh but the place i'm at right now is called orchateria de santa catalina which is supposed to be the

08:40best orchata in valencia and you're supposed to have it with furton which is like this um sugary bread

08:46and you dip it inside this and have it so yeah let's try it out

08:58oh my god this is so good i've actually tried orchata and a few other places in valencia and

09:03this one definitely seems to be better so i see why this is so highly recommended also the decor of

09:09this place is really pretty it looks very old school and it's got very like spanish interiors

09:15so really liking the vibe over here

09:32another thing you need to try when you're in valencia is this drink right here

09:36it's called agua de valencia and it's a cocktail basically it's a mix of orange juice

09:41kava vodka and gin and like the name suggests this was invented in valencia

09:47and not just in valencia it was invented in this very place that i'm in right now

09:50this place is called cafe madrid it was founded back in 1940 and i think it's the oldest bar here

09:56in valencia and this is my first time trying out this drink very excited for it looks very refreshing

10:02let's try it out this kind of just tastes like orange juice spiked but i really like it it's

10:08really delicious also this place is very popular because i'm here on a monday afternoon and this place

10:14has been packed i had to wait to get a table uh but it's really nice i can see why so many people

10:19want to come here because the decor is really nice and uh yeah i think it's definitely worth visiting

10:24if you're in valencia so i've kind of spent the day just walking around a lot did a bit of old town

10:43walked around el carmen and in the evening i did a really fun walking tour it wasn't like the usual

10:49walking tours that i do because this involved a bit of like photography as well where the guy took some

10:53nice photos of me and my friend who was with me on this tour uh so it was really nice we walked

10:58through like some really quaint streets places that i hadn't been to before even though i've been in

11:02valencia for so long and i thought that i've seen a lot of it um i saw some new places today so i really

11:08enjoyed that tour and yeah the sun is about to set now we're just in the main square where the town hall

11:13is and hopefully catch the sunset from somewhere nice and it actually has been such a great day so far

11:32i'm here at the botanical garden uh just walked in and it's already so peaceful you can hear birds chirping

11:37birds chirping it's a really nice vibe you can hear water somewhere in the distance the entry ticket to

11:42this place was three euros and uh today's a really nice and sunny day so i feel like it's the perfect day

11:47to be here in this garden and it is really beautiful

12:07valencia is by the water so of course i had to check out the beach the water was freezing but the beach

12:13itself was very vibrant laid back and nice to walk around the highlight of my day was doing a sunset

12:25catamaran cruise with my friends we got a free drink and the views were just spectacular

12:39and no trip to valencia is complete without trying some paella

12:42when you think of spanish food something that probably comes to your mind is paella

12:46i think it's one of the most famous spanish dishes in fact some people call it the national

12:50dish of spain and we are now at a spanish restaurant by the beach in valencia and we've

12:55ordered some paella for ourselves the interesting thing about paella is that it was actually invented

13:00in valencia uh so of course you can't come to valencia and not try out paella usually paella is

13:05like a non-vegetarian dish i've ordered a vegetarian version of it for myself and you can't really come

13:11and have this solo because i think most places ask you to order like minimum for two people

13:15and they just bring the whole dish in like one big pot that everyone can uh sort of eat from so

13:21yeah our table has like vegetarian and non-vegetarian fire let's try it out and see how it is it's quite

13:26interesting i feel like it has a lot of indian flavors to it

13:31that's all for this video but i did a lot more while in valencia like experiencing las

13:36fias one of the biggest festivals in spain and living the digital nomad life because i was in

13:41valencia for a whole month so subscribe to my channel and i'll see you all next time bye
