Valencia has a slightly confusing transportation network. After living here for 2 years, we finally figured out that the metro system seems to have been planned for reaching further away suburbs (or the airport) but not for getting around the city.<\/p>\n
So, if you want to navigate the city centre, you\u2019ll be much better off taking the bus. Just remember, the buses run in a circular route \u2013 which means that it doesn\u2019t drop off and pick-up at the same spot.<\/p>\n

The bus you take to the old town might not drop you off anywhere near where you got on. You may need to ask a few locals to direct you to the right bus stop.<\/p>\n
Essentially, public transportation in Valencia has really good standards and is clean and modern; like other Spanish cities, we just found the organization a bit odd, especially coming from a place like Vancouver, BC, Canada where public transit is highly organized and runs like clockwork.

The regular bus and metro routes finish up around 10:30pm all week long and not much of a warning when the buses don\u2019t run (desviado) due to a fiesta or a race. Saving grace is the night bus\u2026.N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, N10, N89, N90 that run from 22:30 \u2013 02:00<\/p>\n TIP:<\/em><\/span> We recommend storing Google Maps (or any other map app) off-line during your visit so you always have a handy map with you.<\/p>\n NOTE: <\/strong>\u00a0There seems to always be some sort of construction (marathon, fiesta, etc. pre-covid) happening somewhere in the city of Valencia.
