The City of Arts and Sciences is a cluster of six bone-white buildings that serve as a leisure center to learn and enjoy science, nature, and technology. The design of the complex is particularly noteworthy for being both ancient and boldly futuristic. Explore this architectural complex on a one hour tour and discover its six distinct buildings, each featuring different concepts, wide-open spaces, large fountains, and gardens. You’ll come across a 3D cinema (the Hemisfèric), the largest aquarium in Europe (the Oceanográfico), an interactive science museum (Prince Felipe Museum of Sciences), and the striking opera house (the Palau de Les Arts Reina Sofía) among other sights.

A passionate guide will share stories behind the designs and show you secret spots to take the best photos. After this, ascend to the city's highest private rooftop which offers unparalleled views of Valencia and the stunning Mediterranean coastline. Enjoy a delicious 10-course tapas menu against the gorgeous backdrop. The menu offers the best taste of Valencia and you can pair it with a selection of prize-winning wines. Relax as you bask in the glory of the views and make lasting memories.
