Study abroad destinations: Valencia

 

When studying abroad there are many important factors to consider. Moving abroad is not a decision to make in a day, it should be personal and one you must think thoroughly. Multiple factors such as language, type of program, requirements, country, city, weather, local life, living situation or travel opportunities must be considered.

 

To help you on your research we have highlighted some reasons why you should choose the city of Valencia in Spain as your study abroad destination.

Valencia is an amazing city where you can find historical monuments, modern architecture, delicious food, mild weather, paradisiac beaches and friendly locals.

 

The City of Arts and Sciences

The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is a unique complex devoted to cultural and scientific diffusion which is made up of five main elements: the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum (an innovative centre of interactive science), the Oceanográfico (the largest aquarium in Europe with over 500 marine species), the Hemisfèric (IMAX cinema and digital projections), the Umbracle (a landscaped vantage point) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (which takes care of the operatic programme). The Ágora is the fifth and latest construction that gives the complex a multifunctional space for art exhibitions or sport events.

 

The Holy Grail

Get ready to discover the history of the Holy Grail in Valencia, from its roots in Jerusalem to its current location in Valencia’s Cathedral.
