Valencia Metro

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and one of the best ways to get around the city of Valencia is by using the Valencia Metro system. Line 3 and Line 5 will take passengers to the Valencia City Centre and to the Valencia Puerto.

People who are coming on holiday to Valencia or on a business trip landing at Valencia Airport can use the Valencia Metro Service at the airport. Valencia is a hidden gem when it comes to city breaks with most travellers being familiar with the cities of Madrid and Barcelona, but Valencia has a lot to offer at far more reasonable prices. Valencia hotel rooms cost a fraction of hotel rooms in Barcelona and Madrid and as the city has yet to be discovered by British tourists one can have a great time in Valencia discovering Valencia attractions. One of the Valencia attractions is the Oceanografic Valencia which is the world’s largest aquarium, while one can also visit the Plaza del Mercado, La Catedral, El Miguelete, Plaza de la Virgen, Torres de Serranos, Iglesia de San Juan de Hospital, Museo de Bellas Artes San Pio V, Museo Nacional de Ceramica Gonzales Marti, Monasterio de San Miguel de los Reyes, Jardin Botanico as well as the El Puerto y la Playa. Valencia shopping has a lot to offer locals and visitors and many Costa Blanca residents come to Valencia on a regular basis to shop for clothing. Valencia beaches are relatively quiet compared to those on the Costa Blanca.

There is no better way than getting around Valencia than by using the Valencia Metro System. Valencia’s metro train system is modern, clean and easy to use. The Valencia Metro system consists of four lines. Line 1 is Yellow, Line 3 is red, Line 5 is green and these trains run on tracks underground while Line 4 is blue and runs on the Valencia street levels. Line 4 operates on the northern side of the Turia River and covers the area from the University of Valencia to Valencia’s beaches.
