Discover the city by bike

Other interesting thing to know is that Valencia converted the former bed of the River Turia, which used to run through the city, into an enormous 9 km long park. Today it is a green lung in which to walk, cycle, play sport, go to cafes, etc. As Valencia is a flat city, you can get a day-pass from Valencia’s bike system and visit the park and the city taking and leaving the bikes as you need.
