School trip to Valencia

A school trip to Valencia offers students a balanced combination of science, Mediterranean nature and historical exploration. The City of Arts and Sciences is an ideal starting point: an iconic complex where pupils will experience marine ecosystems at the Oceanogràfic and watch immersive scientific projections at the Hemisfèric. Nearby, the Turia Gardens provide a large, safe outdoor space created from the former riverbed, now transformed into a green corridor used daily by local families and schools.

Valencia’s historic centre adds another educational layer, with landmarks such as the Cathedral, the Miguelete tower and the modernist Colón Market helping students understand how the city has evolved over the centuries. Local traditions also play a role, including a guided tasting of horchata in a traditional horchatería.

The excursion to the Albufera Natural Park highlights biodiversity and traditional rice-growing culture, while the paella workshop allows students to learn through practice before exploring the lagoon by boat. The Bioparc concludes the programme with themed areas designed to recreate natural habitats and promote awareness of conservation.

This itinerary aims to offer a clear, well-structured programme that supports teachers and enriches students through varied and accessible activities.
