Book a transfer from Madrid to Valencia — from Spain's regal inland capital to the vibrant Mediterranean city where paella was born, futuristic architecture meets ancient history, and Las Fallas festival lights up the streets.
The 360 km journey takes 3.5 to 4 hours heading east via the A-3 highway, crossing the Castilian meseta (central plateau), passing through the La Mancha wine region of Don Quixote fame, and descending through mountain passes to the Mediterranean coast.
Valencia is Spain's third-largest city and one of its most exciting — a Mediterranean gem where 2,000 years of history meets cutting-edge modernity. The City of Arts and Sciences, Santiago Calatrava's futuristic complex of museums, an oceanarium, and an opera house, is an architectural marvel. The UNESCO-listed Silk Exchange (Lonja de la Seda), the Central Market (one of Europe's largest), the hilltop Turia Gardens (a 9 km park in a former riverbed), and the vibrant Barrio del Carmen nightlife quarter showcase Valencia's range. This is the birthplace of paella — eating authentic paella valenciana overlooking the rice paddies of the Albufera lagoon is a pilgrimage for food lovers.
