There are modern buildings and bohemian streets, quaint artisan shops alongside big-box department stores, and historic monuments next to sleek apartment buildings.

Enter the old city through the Serrano Gates and wander the narrow streets, taking in the local color. Make your way to the atmospheric Plaça de la Vergin. Here you'll find the Valencia Cathedral, housing the strange relic of San Vicente's withered left arm, and the Miguelete Bell Tower, a Gothic-style structure with a 207-step spiral staircase that you can climb to enjoy spectacular views of the city. Next, walk over to La Lonja de la Seda, a fifteenth-century silk exchange built to flaunt the city's great wealth and power. In the evening, hit the La Tassa district for tapas and perhaps some flamenco dancing. On a budget?
