Valencia's free outdoor stops are spread across three parts of the city: the Old Town around Mercat Central and Plaça de la Mare de Déu, the Turia Gardens by the City of Arts and Sciences, and the beachfront at Malvarrosa. The first two can be paired if you allow time for the walk; the beach is a separate trip. Check market hours, venue tickets and seasonal beach services before you go.
