What to do in Valencia this Christmas: ice rink, train and carousel

Categories: with children, Christmas.

TOURISTIC AREA: Historical center

Enjoy the magic of Christmas in the city centre.

From 28 November 2025 to 6 January 2026, Valencia will be filled with Christmas activities that you won’t want to miss.

Yes! The Association of Shopkeepers in the Old Town and Ensanche district will once again transform the streets into the city’s best Christmas park, with activities to enjoy with your family or group of friends.

Staying at home is not an option this year.

Three must-see experiences are waiting for you here, the ice rink, the classic carousel and the retailers’ train, which are joined by two new additions: Alice in Wonderland Train and the Children’s Ferris Wheel in Plaza de San Agustín.

Ice rink – Plaza del Ayuntamiento – 1 Divertivale + €7 or €10

Put on your skates and enjoy the winter without leaving the centre of Valencia with a 30-minute session on ice and under the Christmas lights of the City Hall.

Don’t forget to bring your gloves!
