City of Arts and Sciences : info and guided tour

Introduction to the City of Arts and Sciences

The City of Arts and Sciences is a vast cultural and scientific complex in Valencia, Spain, located in the Quatre Carreres district. It brings together several complementary spaces, including a science museum, an aquarium, and an IMAX cinema, making it one of the city’s most visited places to discover science and entertainment in various forms.

The site is best known for its spectacular architecture, made up of white buildings with curved lines, large glass surfaces, and pools of water that reflect the volumes. The complex was designed as a great contemporary urban landscape, where the public space, walkways, and façades become an integral part of the visit and the visual experience.

Among the emblematic features are the science museum, the Oceanogràfic, and the Hemisfèric, easily recognizable by their ambitious shapes. The City of Arts and Sciences is famous because it combines culture, science, and architecture in a very clear way, in a modern setting that has become a powerful image of Valencia.
