When travelling around the world to many a wondrous location, you’ll want to know that the finer details, like your transportation, are taken care of so you can get on with the business of enjoying your holiday, fuss-free.
While many of you rely on public transport to explore the sights of your chosen destination, this can eat into plans with time spent waiting for a train or bus, and longer journeys than if you had your own private vehicle to tour around in. While a chauffeur-driven car to get you from A to B may seem like a dream come true, often this isn’t very practical either, and so renting your own car is often the best option, especially if you have hard-to-reach places to visit on your itinerary and if you’d like the freedom to come and go, and change plans, as you please.
If the captivating coastal city of Valencia is on your list of places to visit this year, then you’re in luck as the beaches, restaurants, city’s many historic and newer sights and nearby Albufera National Park make this destination an excellent choice for luxury travellers seeking a bit of everything on their travels.

Around Valencia
Once you’re equipped with your chosen vehicle, you’ll want to start discovering some of the best sights that Valenica has to offer with your stylish new companion, and from the city itself to the wider area, there’s a lot to explore.
The capital of the province and autonomous community of the same name, Valencia is a city that perfectly balances being a casual coastal destination with its identity as a vibrant city – the third most populated Spain, nonetheless. If you want to explore the destination in just a few days, you can do so, and you won’t be disappointed, but why not stay a little longer and discover a little more of what this region has to offer? With this in mind we take a look at some of the top things to do in and around Valencia by car.
If you’re staying in a villa on the outskirts of town then jump in your rental car and head into the city centre to discover some of the architectural and historical wonders that are in abundance here. Be sure to visit the City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural marvel that houses museums, an opera house, and an aquarium, before strolling through the picturesque streets of the Old Town and marvel at centuries-old buildings like the Valencia Cathedral and La Lonja de la Seda.
For a taste of local flavour, head to Mercado Central and sample traditional Spanish dishes like paella and horchata, and embark on a road trip to the Requena wine region for a delightful experience sampling local wines amidst vineyards and historical sites.
Relax on one of the city’s beautiful beaches; take a scenic coastal drive to Malvarrosa Beach for some sun-soaked relaxation or water sports activities like surfing or paddleboarding.
Finally, make sure you opt for a serene drive to Albufera Natural Park where you can revel in picturesque landscapes of rice fields, lagoons, and diverse wildlife while enjoying a relaxing boat ride on Lake Albufera, or, better yet, go stargazing in this serene spot.
