Parks and Gardens

Valencia's green landscape ranges from the historic Jardins de la Glorieta, famous for its ancient ficus trees, to the futuristic L'Umbracle sculpture garden within the City of Arts and Sciences. The Turia Gardens host the massive Gulliver climbing structure, while the Parc de Capçalera offers a large lake with boat rentals at the riverbed's western edge. Visitors can also explore the 19th-century neoclassical grounds of Jardins d’Aiora and the biodiversity of Parc de la Rambleta, which features a restored Mediterranean wetland ecosystem.
