Valencia, a city that inspires
Valencia, Spain’s third largest city with over 825,000 inhabitants, is a place where history and innovation coexist naturally. Its historic center is home to treasures such as the Silk Exchange (a World Heritage Site), while the avantgarde City of Arts and Sciences projects a modern and cosmopolitan image.
The old riverbed of the Turia River, now transformed into an extensive urban garden, connects the city with cultural spaces, museums, and leisure areas. Added to this are its beaches, its mild Mediterranean climate, and a cuisine that is renowned throughout the world.
Valencia is also a leader in conference organization: it has excellent transport links, modern infrastructure, and a wide range of hotels that is constantly growing. All of this makes the city an attractive, comfortable, and dynamic setting for hosting professional events.
