More steps to climb if your legs are up to it! Another part of the old city walls that face the jar dines del Turia. The view from the top is worth yet more steps as you get a great view all around. Free on a Sunday so go then as otherwise maybe not value for money. If you don't... More

Go there in the morning sun (not too early, opening hours!), and enjoy the experience of the picking up the pace of Valencia's daily life (not on sundays of course!). Climb the towers, explore every ankle, sit down, get up again, explore more ankles, enjoy the views over Valencia's roofs or the Turia-park. And prepare yourself for some churros or... More

Nice location along the old riverbed. Stairs are difficult to climb, however, as some flights do not have handrails.

Good views over the Turia and vistas to the outskirts. Been refurbished and easier to ascend than the Migalete. Not as high so not so many photo-ops. Free Sunday

These towers have clearly been restored and are in a very good condition. You need to be too as the steps are quite steep to climb up to the top. Kids will love it. The view isn't great though, at least not on the city side, but it is nice looking down on the park on the other side.

The Torres de Serranos are part of the wall that used to surround the city. We've been several times and never get tired of walking around and checking out the view. During Fallas, make sure you climb up to view the Falla below that is meant to be viewed from the tower. Not a bad climb (especially compared to the... More

Free admission! A yomp up the several flights of stairs brings you to the turreted top where you can enjoy spectacular views across Valencia.

Not much to see, just one very old Gate to see & enjoy. Don't expect too much around, just cafes & more historical sites around it.

We sat to have paella in a small restaurant that faced this gate, it was wonderful to see it while relaxing. We were there at night, I believe you can actually visit it during the day time. Read the story about this gate, if you have time, visit it!
