Valencia is a wonderful city in Spain - not as tourist as Barcelona, but so worth sight-seeing! Therefore, you won't see many tourists fighting to take a good picture as in Park Guell in Barcelona - which is a positive aspect!
Valencia surprises by the city design - where historic area is well connected and supplemented by the XXI century architecture. The city of arts and science is a magnificent architectural piece - with Opera which looks like space ship, cinema that's like an eye in a water, the Science museum, Agora and Oceanarium. This centre of culture and science offers a lot of attractions for everyone - from science experiments, 3D movies to dolphins show and unusual sea animals.
What fascinates me the most about Valencia, is that they moved the river outside the city in 1957 - which resulted in the creation of parks, playgrounds, chillout area for citizens of Valencia in the channel of the river! I admire this decision of local government who could easily sell this area for business, roads, commercial use - but instead created a wonderful area for relax, leisure, culture and science.
I wonder if we could move Wisla in Warsaw out of the city? And what would happen with that area?
