Jardin del Turia, Valencia

Passeig de l'Albereda, València, Comunidad Valenciana

Description

The Turia Garden is a large public urban park spread over 9km along the former riverbed of the Turia river within the city of Valencia - which explains why there are 18 bridges crossing it! It was created following the decision to divert the river after a major flood in 1957. It runs from Cabecera Park to the City of Arts and Sciences and includes a variety of trees and plants (palm trees, orange trees, rose beds), fountains and ponds, and sport facilities which makes it popular with runners, cyclists, families and nature enthusiasts.

Access & Transport

Turia station (0, 1, 2, 4) in the north-western side and Alameda (0, 3, 5, 7, 9) on the eastern side are the main transport hubs. There are also several bus services running alongside the garden stretch.

Instructions & Recommendations

The City of the Arts and Science, the Serrans Tower, The Fine Arts Museum and the Carmen neighbourhood are all neighbouring the park.
