Valencia, Spain’s third largest city, is an excellent, fresh European destination for events.
Situated on Spain’s eastern Mediterranean coast, Valencia has it all: a superb hotel selection at affordable rates, cultural sights with over 2,000 years of history, stunning ultra-modern architecture projects, excellent local and international gastronomy, unique nightlife, white sandy beaches, preserved traditional culture and well-developed tourist infrastructure. All of this in an unpretentious, warm, friendly and welcoming environment.
The City of Arts and Sciences has done for Valencia what the Olympics did for Barcelona, and the Guggenheim for Bilbao, which is to say that it has been the major catalyst in the city’s recent rise from backwater to boomtown. The soaring white complex acts as a space-age counterpoint to Valencia’s historic old town and neatly fills the geographical gap between the city center and the nearby beach. Valencia is fast becoming a major player as one of Europe’s top event destinations… the city has already welcomed a number of major international events such as America’s Cup in 2007 and the Formula 1 in 2008. Below are a few points as to why Valencia is a top class destination.
Why Valencia for your next event?
- Warm Mediterranean climate.
- International Airport with direct flights to major European cities.
- Excellent selection of hotels at very competitive rates and home to one of Spain’s most special 5 Star conference hotels.
