Valencia’s famous Turia Park was once the site of the River Turia, which was diverted after a devastating flood. It’s now Europe’s largest urban park, and it’s the perfect place to catch up with friends, play sports, or rent a bike and explore. Afterwards, check out the ‘City of Arts and Sciences’, an amazing collection of futuristic buildings which house museums and cultural spaces, including a 3D panoramic cinema. Make some time to visit Valencia Cathedral, if only to see the ‘Holy Grail’, believed to be the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. For a change of pace, your student accommodation in Valencia isn’t far from Malvarrosa Beach; spend a day relaxing on the sand, then stay for dinner and feast on traditional paella.
