The City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is one of Valencia’s must-see spots and an ideal place to relax. Located just outside the city center, the buildings provide a modern contrast to Valencia’s old, winding streets. Come to watch tennis matches or enjoy how the lights shimmer at night. One of the building’s lights reflect in the adjacent pool, making it look like a giant eye.
