What's new in Valencia

The city of Valencia has been selected as one of the World Tree Cities, an award given by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Arbor Day Foundation.

Valencia is already enjoying the 2024 Fallas.

During the year, the city will celebrate it with various initiatives, starting with the opening of four new tourist routes that show, in a dynamic way, the efforts made to improve the environment and the quality of life of visitors and residents alike, and that have led to this designation. 

In a year marked more than ever by sustainability, in Valencia you will also find an explosion of new flavors, cultures and melodies. And even more reasons, if possible, to schedule that vibrant and Mediterranean visit you deserve.

UNESCO has selected Valencia to be a part of the Creative Cities Network in the "Design" category. The city, which was already the World Design Capital in 2022, further solidifies international recognition of local design and creativity as one of the main attractions for visiting Valencia.

The prestigious organization We're Smart World has published the list of the best vegetarian restaurants in the world for 2023, which sees Ricard Camarena in seventh position and La Salita, by Begoña Rodrigo, in 16th, and seven other restaurants in the city are also recommended. 

Valencia is one of the first European cities to receive the Mission Label from the European Union for its commitment to decarbonization, positioning itself at the forefront of the fight against climate change. The title acknowledges the action plan outlined in the city's Climate Agreement, through which it commits to reducing CO2 emissions by 80% and achieving climate neutrality by 2030.

Five years after the start of an ambitious restoration project, the city of Valencia is gearing up to welcome a new cultural landmark: the Hortensia Herrero Art Center.
