Valencia is the 3rd biggest city of Spain, and has about 800.000 people living there. It can be a bit compared with Barcelona, but with way less tourists. But they are working hard on this, as Valencia is an upcoming tourist destination.
The gay night life in Valencia is typically Spanish. It starts very late at night and is mainly focussed on Friday and Saturday.
If you visit in summer and want to spend time on the beach, a hotel or apartment on the coast is the obvious choice. For the rest we would recommend a hotel in or near the old city. There you find all restaurants, shops and bars. Valencia has a good public transport system, and also bicycle rent is popular. Check our hotel and apartment recommendations or directly visit the Valencia hotel map.
