Is The Valencia Tourist Card Worth It? (Guide To Pros And Cons)

Wondering whether to buy a Valencia Tourist Card for your city break? Find out what’s included and whether it’s worth it in this informative guide.

If you’ve been following my blog recently, you’ll have seen I fell head over heels in love with the city of Valencia in Spain. It’s a beautiful city, filled with history, great restaurants and quirky architecture. It’s perfect for a sunshine-filled getaway, particularly with its huge beach just a short bus ride from the city centre.

Before visiting, I ordered a Valencia Tourist Card . There are options of cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days.

The card includes free public transport within the city centre, complimentary entry or discounts at the key attractions, museums and restaurants, plus a few other freebies too – including tapas and drinks.

I’ll admit that part of my reason for wanting it was the ease of getting around. It covers journeys to and from Valencia Airport, as well as journeys within the city and down to the beach.

So time to give an honest account of what I thought of it, how it works, whether I’d recommend it and how to order one if you’re visiting the city soon.

Planning your trip to Valencia? Here are a few quick highlights:

What is the Valencia Tourist Card?

This special card includes all public transport within the city, as well as to the beach and airport. There’s a mammoth list of attractions it’s valid at, offering free entry or discounted tickets. You can buy cards for different durations, depending on how long you’ll be visiting for. There are cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days.

If you’re flying to Valencia I’d recommend ordering a card online in advance, then collecting at the airport. You just need your order number and email address to pick it up.

Alternatively, you can collect it from the tourist office within City Hall, or have it delivered to your hotel. Kids aged 6-12, over-65s and students can get a 15% discount off, but you’ll have to go to the tourist office to buy the card.

How much is a Valencia Tourist Card?

As mentioned, there are cards for 24, 48 or 72 hours, as well as another for 7 days. The prices are as follows:

24-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 15 EUR

48-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 20 EUR

72-hour Valencia Tourist Card: 25 EUR

7 day Valencia Tourist Card (without transport): 12 EUR

I usually buy things like this using Get Your Guide – a tour booking website I’ve used lots on my travels, and wholeheartedly trust. I took a few tours with them during my trip to Valencia, including a historical walking tour and a food tour , and they were fab. They occasionally offer discounts if you book via them too!

What attractions are included for free with the Valencia Tourist Card?

There are quite a few that are free with the card, including…

Lonja de la Seda – Valencia’s ancient silk exchange

Museo de Historia – Valencia’s history museum

Museo Fallero – Museum dedicated to Valencia’s famous Fallas Festival

Torres de Serranos and Torres de Quart – Old city gates (great views!)

Museo de Ciencias Naturales – Museum of natural sciences

Museo de la Ciudad – City museum

Museo del Arroz – Rice museum

L’Almoina – Archaeology museum

Without the card, most have an entry fee of around 2 EUR. It’s not much, but if you’re thinking of visiting quite a few during your visit, the tourist card will be more economic way to see the icity. You can see the full list of Valencia tourist card attractions here .

Which attractions can I get discounts at with the Valencia Tourist Card?  

While there are plenty that are included complimentary, if the attraction isn’t on that list, it’s still likely to be offered at a discounted price with the card. I’ve picked out a few highlights but there are absolutely loads more!

15% off Museu de les Ciències (Valencia Science Museum)

15% off Oceanogràfic (Valencia Aquarium)

15% off Hemisfèric (Valencia IMAX Cinema)

15% off Bioparc (Valencia Zoo)

10% off Valencia Cathedral

10% off Jardín Botánico (Valencia Botanical Gardens)

It’s also worth checking out some of the discounts on rentals in the city too. For example, you can use the card to get 20% off renting a bike in the city, or 10% off jet-ski rental on Malvarrosa Beach.

Can I use my Valencia Tourist Card on any tours?

Yes! I think this is a really great perk of the card. From a discount on the tourist bus (yay for hop on, hop off life!), to bike tours, a nosey around Valencia Football Club and even a paella cooking class, there are lots of little extras that are included with the card. You’ll need to check timings as many of them only run on certain days of the week, and then book your spot in advance.

Here are a few tours that caught my eye…

20% off 4-hour Valencia Family Tour

15% off bike tours

10% off Guided tour of Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía

10% off Mestalla Forever Tour (Valencia Football Club)

10% off paella workshops

2 EUR off València Bus Turístic (hop on, hop off)

10% off Albufera Experience (jeep and boat trip)

10% off sunset sailing trip from Malvarrosa Beach

What about food and drink?

Eating out on holiday can really add up, so it’s worth making use of the discounts on offer at the city’s restaurants and bars. Some of the discounts are 15-20% so it can make a big difference to your bill.

You can use the card at Café de las Horas, Terraza L’Umbracle, El Camarote & the Roof, Casa Isabel, Ocho y Medio, Restaurante Océanos, Ubik Café, La Cigrona and the Hard Rock Café amongst others.

Did someone mention FREE food?

Not yet but I’m about to!! When you get your Valencia Tourist Card you’ll see a few ads for restaurants in the city where you get complimentary food and drink!

Head to El Corte Ingles for a complimentary tapa and a glass of wine, and then there’s one more voucher valid at a few restaurants around the city.

Anywhere else I can use the Valencia Tourist Card?

I didn’t have the chance to visit (partly because I was busy enjoying the sunshine outside) but the card is also valid at several spas in Valencia including Balneario La Alameda, Olympia Hotel and Spa Las Arenas.

How do I use the Valencia Tourist Card on public transport?

I used my card on several bus, tram and metro journeys. I’d describe Valencia as a walkable city, but if like me, you like to cram a lot in to your trips, you might want to save time by using public transport.

I navigated my way around using Google Maps. You can pop in your destination and select public transport. The app will then show you the best way to get there, including bus numbers and stop names.

In terms of where you can get to using the card, it covers the Metro in Zones A – D (including to and from Valencia Airport) plus buses and trams in Zone A. As a tourist visiting, it’s very unlikely you’d need to go outside of these areas. When you pick up your card you can check the maps. It also includes bus Line 25 which goes to Albufera.

In terms of using the card, you tap it on the machine by the driver when you board a bus, at the tram stop platform and at the gates to the metro. It’s worth mentioning that if you get the Valencia 7-day tourist card, it doesn’t include public transport (or it didn’t when I visited).

Also, if you don’t opt for a tourist card, I think that the system in the city is similar to others, where you have to pay a cost for a Valencia transport card and top it up with journeys as you go along.

So, the big question – is the Valencia Tourist Card worth it?

For me it was definitely worth it. If you’re planning a lot of sightseeing, and want the convenience of using public transport whenever you want, to get wherever you want, then it’s worth it.

I liked that I didn’t have to worry about figuring out metro tickets when I got to the airport, and could hop on public transport around the city whenever my legs got tired! 

I also used several of the free entry tickets and a few of the discounts. Free food was a bonus too! I didn’t get the chance to try out any of the tours as I’d already booked a few through Get Your Guide before my trip, but I’d bear it in mind for next time.

However, if you’re visiting Valencia for a relaxing break, with plans to hang out in the historical city centre, hop from tapas bar to tapas bar and explore on foot, you’ll probably find it cheaper to buy single or return tickets on public transport and pay full price at any attractions. Single tickets on Valencia’s buses start at just 1.50 EUR. Metro lines 3 and 5 go from the airport to the city centre, with a single costing 3.90 EUR.

Sometimes it’s worth paying for the peace of mind, and a card like this definitely brings that! It really depends on how much you want to do during your trip!

I hope this post helps you make a decision. If you have any questions, let me know! Don’t forget to read my other guides to Valencia to make the most of your time in the city.

What is the Valencia Tourist Card?

The Valencia Tourist Card is a card for tourists (surprising from the name, I know) that’s designed to give you unlimited access to Valencia’s public transportation, free or discounted admission to many museums and monuments, tasty discounts at restaurants, shops, and more – including some free food and drinks!

And it’s super easy to get your hands on one too. Simply buy the Valencia Tourist Card online right here and pick it up at any Tourist Info Office at the airport or around the city.

MY SUGGESTION: Picking up your Valencia Tourist Card at the airport is by far the best option, in my opinion, as it means your metro ride from the airport will be free. And I think we can all agree that saving €4.80 immediately is a great way to start any trip!)

Benefits of the Valencia Tourist Card

1. free public transportation.

With the Valencia Tourist Card, you’ll have unlimited access to buses, trams, and the metro across the entire city. Whether you want to explore the historic old town, lounge on the city’s sunny beaches, or feast on the best paella, you can do it all without spending an extra cent on Valencia’s public transport system. 

And as I just mentioned, even the trip from the airport to the city center is covered by metro, a 25-minute journey that’s normally €4.80 each way – isn’t that convenience at its finest?

2. Free Entry to Museums and Monuments

Art lovers, history buffs, and curious souls, rejoice! The Valencia Tourist Card opens the doors to a world of knowledge and culture without the usual entry fees.

With so much to see, you’ll be grateful for the freedom to explore at your own pace.

While freebies are great, this card also lets you get some pretty impressive discounts at various sights all over Valencia. These include:

• Valencia Cathedral, the Miguelete (Bell Tower) and the Holy Grail (20% off)
• IVAM – Valencian Institute of Modern Art (50% off)

It gets you all the same great discounts at museums, monuments, stores, restaurants and more. In fact, you’ll actually get some extra bonuses like free entry to certain places that are discounted with the other cards, like the Cathedral and its Museum and the IVAM.

That said, keep in mind that this card doesn’t include free public transport, which is why it’s priced a bit differently from the others.

Don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten about the little explorers! There’s a special Valencia Tourist Card tailored for children aged 6 to 12. 

It comes with all the same benefits, but at a lower price, because who doesn’t believe in nurturing the next generation of world travelers!

Prices vary depending on the duration of the card and while you can c heck here for more information on the cost of each card, the summary of this is:

• The 24-hour Valencia Tourist Card comes in at just €15 for adults and €12.75 for children.
• The 48-hour Valencia Tourist Card is a bargain at €20 for adults and €17 for children.
• The 72-hour Valencia Tourist Card is the ultimate deal at €25 for adults and €21.25 for children.
• The 7-day Valencia Tourist Card, with its extra discounts (but no free public transport) costs €12 for adults and €10.20 for kids.

Imagine, for less than the cost of a fancy meal, you get unlimited transportation, free entry to museums and monuments, discounts galore…and some free tapas and drinks on the side!

Where Can I Buy a Valencia Tourist Card?

You’ll be glad to know that purchasing a Valencia Tourist Card is a breeze. The easiest way is to buy it online before your trip and then pick up your card from the Tourist Info Office at the airport or in the city center when you arrive.

In fact, you can easily buy your Valencia Tourist card right here!

And guess what? If you’re already in Valencia, you can also buy the card online and then pick it up directly from any Tourist Info Office. 

In addition to the airport (which is the easiest and quickest option if you’ve bought it before arriving), the offices are also located at major points throughout the city, including the airport, train stations, and central squares. And yes, they’ll be thrilled to see you!

How Does the Valencia Tourist Card Work?

You’re all set with your Valencia Tourist Card. But how does it work, you ask? It’s as easy as uno, dos, tres!

The card is activated the first time you use it, whether that’s hopping on a bus, entering a museum, or using a discount. From then, it’s valid for the duration you chose – 24, 48, or 72 hours. 

Remember, the clock starts ticking from the first use, so plan your itinerary wisely to make the most out of your card.

Is the Valencia Tourist Card Worth It?

In my opinion, if you plan to see many of the main sights around Valencia and will be getting public transport when doing so, especially to and from the airport, then the Valencia Tourist Card is definitely worth it thanks to the free public transport and free entry to many places on offer.

I mean, who doesn’t fancy saving money while savoring all the sights, sounds, and flavors of this vibrant city?

Who Shouldn’t Get the Valencia Tourist Card?

Now, I’ve sung the praises of the Valencia Tourist Card, but it’s also true that not every deal suits every traveler. So, who might not find the card as beneficial?

You may want to think twice about getting this if you fall into one of the following groups:

• If you’re only planning a quick stop in Valencia , or if your idea of a perfect vacation is lounging at the beach all day (no judgment here, by the way), then you might not need the Valencia Tourist Card. 
• If your itinerary doesn’t include a lot of museum-hopping , then the benefits of the card might not outweigh the cost.
• If you don’t think you’ll be taking public transport that often , you might not find yourself getting the full benefits.

Honestly, if you plan to get the metro to and from the airport (which I always do) and think you’ll go to a couple of the main tourist attractions, like a museum or other historical site, then you’ll easily hit the point where the Valencia Tourist Card will be well worth it for you.

Throw in some of the restaurant discounts or getting some savings on a tour or bike rental in Valencia, and you’ll be laughing.

Of course, it’s up to you depending on how you think you’ll be traveling in the city but, overall, it’s going to be a great deal for many visitors.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card on Public Transport?

Using your Valencia Tourist Card on public transport is a cinch! For buses, simply show your card to the driver as you board. For trams and the metro, just swipe your card on the card readers located at the entrance. 

Remember, your card covers all zones within the city, including the trip from the airport to the city center. So, whether you’re heading to the beach, returning from a night out, or journeying from one attraction to the next, your Valencia Tourist Card has got you covered.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card at Attractions?

As if the Valencia Tourist Card couldn’t get any easier to use, here’s how it works at attractions: Simply present your card at the ticket office of the museum or monument you’re visiting. The friendly staff will then grant you free entry – it’s like having a VIP pass to the city’s cultural treasures!

And remember, there’s no limit to the number of attractions you can visit during the validity of your card. So go ahead, indulge your curiosity, immerse yourself in the rich history of Valencia, and let each new discovery be a story to tell.

How Do I Use the Valencia Tourist Card at Restaurants?

Ready to tantalize your taste buds with Valencia’s culinary delights? Using your Valencia Tourist Card at participating restaurants is as simple as pie… or should we say, paella?

When it’s time to pay, just show your card to the staff. They’ll apply the discount to your bill, and voila! You can enjoy your delicious meal knowing you’ve bagged yourself a bargain. 

Just make sure to check in advance if the restaurant accepts the card – you can find a list of participating places in your free city guide.

Valencia Tourist Card — Is It Worth It?

The Valencia Tourist Card can be one of the most economical options for visitors to the Mediterranean city. Free unlimited transport , discounts at major attractions, and even some free food – the tourist card is a tempting deal. But is the Valencia Tourist Card worth it? Keep reading to find out if it’s the right option for you. 

Table of contents

What is the valencia tourist card, what’s included in the valencia card, unlimited public transport, free entry to municipal museums, discounts at attractions, discounts at restaurants, shopping, and recreation, different types of tourist cards, where to get the valencia tourist card, how to use it, pros and cons, final word – is the valencia card worth it.

The Valencia Tourist Card is a pass you can purchase to get access to public transport , municipal museums , and discounts at restaurants and other attractions. For travelers who plan on visiting plenty of attractions – this can be a great way to save money. 

Instead of paying for entry tickets and public transport separately, the Valencia Tourist Card lets you use one card to cover it all. 

And while not absolutely everything is included in the tourist card, Valencia’s most popular attractions are included at a free or discounted rate. 

There are 3 different tourist cards in Valencia (for the most part):

• 24-hour Card (€15)
• 48-hour Card (€20)
• 72-hour Card (€25)

So, is it worth the price?  

The short answer : Yes, if you’re staying for 1-3 days. 

But the long answer is that it depends on what your travel habits are . So let’s dive a bit deeper into the details to find out if it’s worth it for you. 

The Valencia Tourist Card includes a ton of different freebies and discounts for travelers. As a quick summary, it includes:

• Unlimited public transport within zones AB+ 
• Free entry to municipal museums
• Discounts at major tourist attractions
• Discounts at some restaurants and activities
• 2 tapas and 2 free drinks

So for around $20 per person, you can get a lot of value out of this tourist card. But there are some caveats for each of these, so let’s go look at them a little deeper.

This is one of the biggest perks of the tourist card. You get unlimited public transport for the duration of your card (i.e. 24/48/72 hours). 

If you’re coming to Valencia from the airport , then the card already starts to become a huge discount, since it normally costs around €5.80 for the metro. 

The Valencia Tourist Card includes the metro , bus , tram , and trains within the AB+ zone of Valencia. That means you can practically go anywhere with the city buses and metro, including the airport, which is a huge plus. 

For the train, you could go on a day trip to Sagunt or Sueca with the tourist card. However, you could not go to Xàtiva, Cullera, or Gandia, all of which are outside Zone B. 

Here are a few examples of popular destinations you could go to with the Valencia Tourist Card:

• City of Arts and Sciences
• Sagunt (C6 Train towards Castelló)
• Sueca (C1 Train towards Gandia)
• Castelló (Line 1 Metro)
• Manises/Airport (Lines 3 or 5 Metro)

With the Valencia Tourist Card, you also get free entry into municipal museums . The keyword here is municipal, as privately owned/operated museums and attractions are not included for free. 

Luckily, some of the most popular attractions are municipal museums. Here are some great museums that are included with the tourist card:

• Torres dels Serrans
• Torres del Quart
• Museu Faller
• Casa Museu José Benlliure
• Casa Museu Blasco Ibáñez
• Museu del Arròs
• Palau de Cervelló 

There are also about a dozen other museums included, but I don’t really recommend them. If you’re only here for a few days – then these are the most important, especially the first 5 . 

Please note : Most of these attractions usually only cost €1-2 to enter without the card, so keep that in mind when calculating whether the Valencia tourist card is worth it. 

Besides the municipal museums, there are tons of popular attractions that offer a discount. Some of these are much bigger discounts, as the ticket price for these attractions are usually higher. 

Here are the most popular attractions that get a discounted rate:

• L’IVAM Art Museum – 50% Off
• La Seu Valencia Cathedral – 20%
• Jardí Botànic – 10%
• Ceramics Museum (Palau de Dosaigües) – 50%
• San Nicolau Church – Reduced Ticket
• Valencia Bus Turistic – €5 Off
• Albufera Bus Turistic – €5 Off
• Museu de les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences) – 10%
• Hemisfèric – 10%
• Oceanogràfic – 10%

For most of these, I’d actually recommend purchasing your tickets in person if you decide to get the Valencia Tourist Card. 

The reason is that these attractions usually offer multiple types of discounted rates. So you’re safer just showing up with your Valencia Card and buying a ticket, rather than risking buying the wrong non-refundable ticket. 

Note :  These discounts sometimes vary. This is going off of the rates as of April 2024. 

Let’s look at some other discounts that are included in the tourist card. Valencia has a ton of restaurants, gift shops, and even spas that participate in the program, so you can keep getting your money’s worth out of the card. 

Here are just a few of the most notable shops and restaurants that participate:  

• Megastore Valencia Football Club  – 10% 
• City of Arts and Sciences Gift Shops – 10% 
• Hard Rock Café Gift Shop– 5%
• Original CV (Valencian Products) – 5%
• Teatro Olympia – 10%
• Teatre Talia – 10%
• Olhöps Brewery – 10%
• Café de las Horas – Free Tasting with Purchase
• Olympia Hotel Spa – 10%
• Spa Parador El Saler – 10%
• Spa Hotel Las Arenas – 10%
• Destino Puerto Restaurant – 10%
• El Garaje Foodie – 10%
• El Corte Inglés Cafe – 5%
• Sagardi Valencia – 5%
• Charcutería Amparo – 5%

Plus, you get 1 free glass of wine and 1 free tapa from any of the café’s in the Corte Inglés after 5pm. You’ll also get 1 free beer and 1 free tapa from any of the participating restaurants. 

So if you do take advantage of this discount card, this is one of the biggest ways you’ll save money while traveling! 

Depending on your travel needs and duration of stay, you can choose from several types of Valencia Tourist Cards:

• 24-Hour Card (€15)
• 48-Hour Card (€20)
• 72-Hour Card (€25)
• 7-Day Card * (€12)

The first three cards include everything we just went over. The free transportation, the free entry to some museums, plus the discounted tickets and shopping. 

The only difference is how long they work for. So for example, the 24-hour card works for 24 hours after being activated. 

In other words, if you get to the airport, grab your tourist card, and activate it to enter the metro at 3:45pm on a Tuesday – then you can keep using all the benefits until Wednesday at 3:44pm . 

However, there is another tourist card that’s great if you’re staying for longer – the 7-day card . 

This card does NOT include public transport , but it does include free entry into the Cathedral. Considering the Cathedral usually costs around €8, this means that the card practically pays for itself. 

So if you don’t plan on using public transport, then this is a great alternative.  

You can purchase the Valencia Tourist Card here.

Just go ahead and choose the dates you’ll get here, and then choose which you’d like (24/48/72 hours). 

You can either get a digital code for the card, or have it shipped to you physically. Personally, I recommend going for the digital code. Once you get to the airport, there are a few kiosks where you just type in your code, and it prints out the card for you. 

I find this to be more reliable than dealing with shipping. 

Alternatively, you can also pick it up from any of the tourism offices within the city. You’ll just tell them the digital code or show them your purchase confirmation. 

The tourism offices are :

• Carrer de La Pau 48
• Plaça de l’Ajuntament 1
• Joaquin Sorolla Train Station
• Manises Airport
• Avinguda del Mediterràni at the Cabanyal Beach 

Using the Valencia Tourist Card is super easy. This is a physical card that you can scan, you can use at the public transport scanners or hand it to the staff at museums/shops/restaurants. 

Here’s how to use the Valencia Tourist Card: 

• Purchase Your Card: I suggest buying your card online. 
• Get Your Copy: For most people, I suggest going to a kiosk or the Tourism Office. There are a couple kiosks in the arrivals terminal at the airport, so you can use it right away. You can also request it be shipped to your house, but I find it unnecessary. 
• Activate It: The first time you use it, it will become “activated” and the timer starts. For most people, this will happen when you scan your card to get onto the metro at the airport. 
• Keep It Handy: Carry your tourist card with you. This way you can present it to staff for the museums and attractions.
• Recycle/Keep It : You can give your card back to staff at the Tourism Office and they’ll recycle it! Or if you plan on coming back to the city, you can reload the card at a kiosk. 

Valencia is the Green Capital of Europe for 2024 , so make sure you recycle or reuse your card! 

So while I do think the Valencia Tourist Card is worth it for some travelers – it’s not perfect. It’s not going to be the most economical choice for everyone. 

Let’s look at some of the pros & cons of the tourist card. 

• Great for getting to/from the airport 
• Flexible options 
• Ideal for couples or solo travelers
• Decent discounts at many attrac
• Food options are relatively touristy
• Not worth it for repeat visitors 
• Need to take advantage of public transport
• Have to pay attention to it

Overall, I would say that if you’re planning on taking the metro and want to see as many attractions and museums as possible, then it’s a great option . 

But the restaurants that participate in the program are kind of touristy/inauthentic in my opinion. And one big complaint I have is how the hours work. 

For example, if you get here on a Friday morning, and you’re leaving on a Sunday evening – you have to make sure you buy the 72 hour card, not the 48-hour one . Because otherwise, the card expires and you’ll need to buy that €5 ticket to get to the airport! 

So while it can be a great option for many travelers, for some people – it might be better to buy everything separately. 

Overall, I would say that the Valencia Tourist Card is worth it. Here’s what I’d say:

• If you are a solo traveler or a couple – then yes, it’s worth it. 
• If you are a family – I’d buy the card for the adults, but not the kids. Many attractions will offer discounted rates for kids anyway. 
• If this is not your first time – It’s probably not worth it, unless you plan on visiting everything again. 
• If you don’t plan on going in museums OR plan on walking everywhere – it might not be worth it. I’d make a quick spreadsheet and see if it’s better for you. 
• If you plan on visiting for longer than 3 days – It could be worth it, if you want to see the museums/attractions within the first couple days. This depends on your travel style. 

Every traveler is different, so I can’t speak for everyone. For most people, it pays itself off – especially if you’re coming from the airport. 

If you have any questions – feel free to send me a message. I’ll be happy to give you advice! 

Otherwise, check out these resources and guides to help you calculate whether the Valencia Tourist Card is worth it:

• How to get to/from the airport
• Public Transport Guide
• Best Valencia Restaurants
• Neighborhood Guide
• What to Do in 3 Days

For most travelers, I’d say yes! Especially if you’re only visiting for a couple days, it’s a great way to save money. But if you plan on renting a car or don’t want to visit the inside of the attractions, then you can skip it. 

Pick up the Valencia Tourist Card from the kiosks in the Arrivals terminal at the airport OR at any of the tourism offices in the city. You can also request the card be shipped to you. 

Free entry to private museums and attractions are NOT included. Most notably, the Cathedral, and the Science Museum and Aquarium are not included, although you do get a discount. The transport ticket also does NOT include trains outside of the AB zone, so you couldn’t go to Cullera or Xàtiva. 

Yes, the Valencia Tourist Card has a specified validity period based on the chosen duration (24, 48, 72 hours, or 7 days). The timer activates after the first time you use the card. For most people, this would be scanning the card to get into the metro at the airport. 

You can not get a refund after activating the card, but Get Your Guide has a great customer service team if you need to cancel it before your trip to the city. 

Children under 6 do NOT need the card, as they’ll get in to public transport and some attractions for free. In general, if you don’t plan on using public transport or heading inside major attractions, then it’s not worth it for you.

How to get a Valencia Tourist Card

Tourist offices

There are five tourist offices all around Valencia.

) – next to Hotel Las Arenas.

Digital kiosks

There are also four digital kiosks (automated machines) that offer 24-hour service. Two of them are at the airport, respectively in front of the car rental stands and next to the tourist office. One is at the train station (also next to the tourist office), and the other one is in the city hall (by the tourist info office in Plaza del Ayuntamiento ).

This is the option we recommend the most , as it implies some discounts . If you decide to purchase your card online, you will still need to pick up your physical card, as this is not an electronic card. You can do so in one of four ways.

• Another option is to get your card delivered to your house directly. This means that you will have to purchase your ticket way ahead in order to allow for delivery time. For Spain, this will be between 3 and 5 working days. For countries in the EU, between 10 and 15 working days. For the rest of the world, a maximum of 20 days. The delivery cost must be paid by the buyer and is calculated automatically at check-out. This will range between €6 to €15. You can check the status of your order by emailing customer service at [email protected] .
• Lastly, your final option is hotel delivery. At the time of purchase, you will indicate the date on which you want the card to be delivered to the hotel. The delivery will be carried out between 10:00 am and 11:00 am, and it will cost €3.40. To ensure this service, it is not allowed to select a delivery date with less than 24 hours’ notice.

After your card has expired, you can return it to a tourist office to be recycled. There is no cashback for this service, but you do get to do something good for the environment.

If, after your time limit has expired, you want to get another card instead, you can recharge it in person and get a 10% discount. This is the same amount you get online the first time you buy a VTC. To get this 10% off, you will have to go to a tourist office and recharge your card with exactly the same type of VTC offer.

To find out how to activate your card, as well as a detailed breakdown of the discounts, you can go to the next section.
