It’s already August, and that means many people are just getting started. Summer holidayIf you are one of the lucky ones who will take advantage of this month to take a break from work and spend your holidays in Valencia, you will probably be interested in installing a new application on your mobile phone.

This is because Valencia has an official application that can become an essential tool if you are going to spend a few days in the city, since it is in charge of collecting all the relevant information in one place. Below we tell you everything you can do with this application.

The app has a particularly interesting suggested route function

We talk about it Visit the Official Guide to ValenciaIt is the official tourism application of Valencia. Completely free, it is a guide that allows us to access all the information that interests us from our mobile phone: important places, routes in the city, recommendations, event agendas, tickets, accessibility information and much more.

Once we enter the application we will see a list of options that group all the available content. For example, if we enter the section ‘What to see’ For example, we can access different suggestions organized in categories such as ‘Important places’, ‘Valencia by region’ or ‘Valencia in 3 days’.

Clicking on any of the options shown in each category will show us the information available on the Visit Valencia website. Although we can access it directly from the browser, this is a useful way to have all the information instead of searching on the internet.

In my opinion, the ‘City Routes’ section is one of the most useful and complete in the app. This section includes We find various routes for every type of traveler: From a route with highlights to a route focused on beaches, including, among others, a bike route or a route designed if we travel with children.

When choosing one of the routes that the application will show us a map with places of interest markedFor example, when choosing a cycling route, the app shows us a route that starts from the Turia Gardens, passes through places such as the Serranos Towers, Valencia Cathedral and the City of Arts and Sciences, and ends with a hollyhock.

In any route, in the upper right corner of the interface we will see the option ‘List’, a section where we can consult the different points of interest that we will find along the way. The application shows us the relevant information when we click on each point. rates, tariffs or telephone numbers.

Section ‘Discover Valencia’ It is another of the most interesting features of the application, as it offers easy access to all kinds of resources that will be useful when we visit Valencia for the first time, such as tourist offices, museums, monuments, restaurants, shops or leisure activities.

And if you want to know what events will happen during the days you will be in Valencia, this section ‘Event calendar’ It is responsible for compiling the city’s notable events on the dates we specify. It is undoubtedly an application that you should download if you are going to spend a few days in the city. Of course, the application is completely free.
