There is plenty of information for trips with the boyfriend, groups of friends, or colleagues&#8230; but where are the tips for visiting Valencia with kids? Kids Love Travel is making the change: here are 10 top tips for visiting Valencia with your little ones.<\/strong><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\"><li><h3><strong> Diner at six?<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Something, which might be surprising whilst visiting Valencia with kids, is the difference in timetable. Valencians have lunch between 14:00 and 17:00 and dine between 21:00 and 23:00. Of course some restaurants will have different opening hours, but usually these are the more tourist-focussed restaurants, and going to a fast food restaurant isn\u2019t always the best option. A must-visit is the hippie\/alternative restaurant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LaFinestraPizzaCafe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">La Finestra<\/a> in the upcoming <em>barrio<\/em> (area) Ruzafa. This restaurant\u2019s bestseller is the mini pizza (\u20ac1,60 each) and has a lot of other small Italian dishes on the menu. What&#8217;s really handy to know is that La Finestra is open daily from 10:00-15:00 and 18:00-01:00! Another recommendation is <a href=\"http:\/\/spain.100montaditos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018100 montaditos\u2019<\/a> which basically means \u2018100 small buns\u2019: 100 buns with different toppings. Kids will especially love the sweet montaditos.<\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"2\"><li><h3><strong> A la playa!<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides a city trip destination, Valencia is also a beach destination! The city has an amazingly wide beach, which you can visit with the kids. The beach is divided into three parts: Las Arenas (closest to the city centre), La Malvarrosa and La Patacona. Locals usually visit la Patacona and here you\u2019ll find a few cafes (such as <a href=\"http:\/\/lamasbonita.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">La M\u00e1s Bonita<\/a>). Also Las Arenas is an option to visit with kids. Here you\u2019ll find, next to the America\u2019s Cup, a huge playground (and a sunny terrace for parents).<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2964\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2b-min-1000x750.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"3\"><li><h3><strong> Cycling<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The city centre is quite compact, which means you don\u2019t have to walk long distances to get to the city\u2019s highlights. You don&#8217;t need a car or public transport to get around in Valencia during a city trip. If you\u2019d like to visit some other barrios, the beach (this isn\u2019t connected to the city centre) or if you\u2019d like to cruise through the beautiful Turia park, it is recommended to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verrassendvalencia.nl\/fiets-huren.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hire a bike<\/a>.<\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"4\"><li><h3><strong> Running, playing &amp; picnics<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Looking for some natural life in Valencia? Go to the Turia park! This used to be a river, but because of many floods it was redirected and the drained part was used to create the park. The 9-kilometre park starts at the Bioparc, Valencia\u2019s Zoo, and ends at the modern building complex Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences). Even though Valencia\u2019s city centre isn\u2019t that busy (compared to other Spanish cities), relaxing in the park is never a bad idea. Even better: we recommend having a picnic at the park with fresh food and drinks bought from the biggest food market of the city, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercadocentralvalencia.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mercado Central<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2968\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/4b-min-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"5\"><li><h3><strong> Best time of year <\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Valencia is a Spanish destination with more or less 300 days a year filled with sun. Valencia is a great place to visit throughout the whole year, but you must keep in mind that summers (especially August) can get really (really!) hot. Temperatures of 40 degrees Celcius aren\u2019t an exception so make sure to stock up on high factor sun creams for the kids! Another time of year, which is super fun, but may not be so practical with kids: Las Fallas. From March 15 until March 19 the city goes mad. With over a million visitors this might not be the best time of year to visit Valencia with (small) children.<\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"6\"><li><h3><strong> Beautiful buildings, old buildings<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Stroll through Valencia and you\u2019ll notice many breathtaking buildings, characterised by authentic balconies, tiles, etc. Lots of accommodations (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.nl\/c\/aafjed6?currency=EUR&amp;referral_share_id=5451c216-8eae-4aa4-a1a3-0d0d55c7d72f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Airbnb\u2019s<\/a>) are established in these buildings. There are many great apartments, but don\u2019t forget to check if these beautiful and authentic buildings have a lift&#8230; Walking up seven floors when visiting Valencia with kids isn\u2019t really that practical.<\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"7\"><li><h3><strong> Holiday treats all year long!<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Many Dutch kids love \u2018oliebollen\u2019, a sweet deep-fried dough treat, mostly eaten during New Year\u2019s. In Valencia this treat is being sold all year long! It\u2019s not exactly the same as the Dutch treat of course, but a Valencian take on the oliebol: the <em>bu\u00f1uelo<\/em>. This is also a sweet deep-fried dough treat, made of oranges and\/or pumpkin, sprinkled with sugar, mmm! The best bu\u00f1uelos in town you can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elcontraste.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Contraste<\/a>, and the better-known <em>churros <\/em>are also sold here.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2972\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/7b-min-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"8\"><li><h3><strong> Dolphins and tigers <\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Valencian kids love the zoos. They usually go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oceanografic.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">L\u2019Oceanografic<\/a>, the biggest aquarium in Europe. Another idea is to go to the Valencian zoo, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioparcvalencia.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bioparc<\/a>. What makes this zoo different to other zoos, is that the living circumstances of the animals are more or less the same as in their natural habitat. Animals live in their original ecosystem. For example, the savannah has been recreated in with several animals living next to each other, such as antelopes, zebras and giraffes living all together.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2974\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/8a-min-1000x666.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"9\"><li><h3><strong> Gulliver, the friendly giant<\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not only can you have a picnic in the earlier named park, kids can also clamber and climb in the Turia park. Near the City of Arts and Sciences you\u2019ll find Parque Gulliver, a huge playground which is actually designed to look like Gulliver himself. His hairdo can be used as slides, the ropes that were being used by the Lilliputters to hold him tight, can be used to climb on top of Gulliver. Tip: near this playground you can also find a minigolf course.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2982\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/9-min-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p><ol style=\"text-align: left;\" start=\"10\"><li><h3><strong> Water fun! <\/strong><\/h3><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A city trip to Valencia with kids will be made even better with a little bit of water fun. In the City of Arts and Sciences (older) kids can step into a see-through canoe or into a water-walking ball (during the summer). If you\u2019re staying a little bit longer in Valencia, you can go to the beach but the water park <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aquarama.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aquarama<\/a> can be even more fun! Visiting Valencia in the colder months? Just outside of the Valencian Zoo, in the Parque Cabecera, you can hire pedalos!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2984\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/10a-min-1000x669.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Valencia with kids\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What do you think of our Valencia with kids top 10?
