Turia Park: The Green Heart of Valencia

From River to Green Oasis

Once a river, now a garden — Turia Park (Jardín del Turia) is Valencia’s most iconic green space. After a devastating flood in 1957, the riverbed was transformed into a 9-kilometer-long park that runs through the city like a green ribbon.

A Paradise for Cyclists and Walkers

Today, Turia Park is a paradise for cyclists and walkers alike. Ride under old stone bridges, pass by fountains, palm trees, and playgrounds, and discover hidden gems such as the Palau de la Música and the Gulliver Park — a giant playground shaped like the famous literary character.

Connecting the City’s Landmarks

The park connects Valencia’s Old Town with the City of Arts and Sciences, making it perfect for a full-day bike route. You can even continue all the way to the beach without ever leaving the cycling paths!

Take a Break Among the Orange Trees

Tip: Bring some snacks or stop for a picnic under the orange trees — the park is full of peaceful spots to relax.
