When the sun sets in Valencia, the fun continues. The nightlife is very varied and keeps going all year round thanks to the good weather. You can choose between having a drink under the moonlight on a terrace in the Barrio del Carmen, dancing until dawn in the alternative Ruzafa neighborhood, or attending a night show on the impressive terrace of the City of Arts and Sciences. Here are some proposals to make the most of your nights in Valencia.
In the heart of the historic center, el Carmen is the trendy spot to go for a bite. Be traditional and start the night here with some tapas on one of its charming terraces, such as those in Plaza del Negrito, Tossal, or Doctor Collado. Another classic is to try the popular Agua de Valencia (a Valencian cocktail) at Café de las Horas, listen to live jazz at Jimmy Glass, or dance until you drop on the Radio City dance floor.
The Ruzafa neighborhood, in L'Eixample, is the city's most alternative area. Here you'll find a diverse and eclectic atmosphere. Additionally, if you are interested in culture, you can explore Ruzafa's interesting alternative cultural circuit in the neighborhood's bookstores and galleries. And if you want to dance and have fun, there are also independent music venues and clubs like Oven or Play.
The warm summer nights also invite you to enjoy rooftop bars and terraces, such as the sophisticated and elegant L'Umbracle in the City of Arts and Sciences. The space extends over a dazzling 4,000 m² open-air garden, where you can enjoy a cocktail in a relaxed atmosphere with views of Valencia. Additionally, if you want to continue the party, just head down to the Mya nightclub or continue drinking in the nearby streets, where there are enticing venues like Le Premier club, which hosts live performances by trendy DJs every night.
The quintessential festival of Valencia is Las Fallas, declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. From March 1 to 19, Valencia is immersed in this celebration, which combines tradition, satire, and art. Las Fallas revolve around groups of neighbors and friends, the fallas commissions, who come together to organize an authentic street party. During these days they hold street parties, parade in traditional dress to the rhythm of marching bands, and cook traditional dishes. Additionally, the famosos ninots, cardboard monuments that tell current stories, are built and burned on the last day of the festivities in a grand popular celebration.
