Valencia Cathedral, Valencian Country, Spain

Wonderful Cathedral

This is an amazing cathedral with a very welcoming feel and very friendly and helpful staff. We went in 5 minutes after opening and had the place to ourselves for about 20 min, but 45 min after opening the tour guides starting bringing their groups in. The audio guide is great providing interesting and historic facts about the cathedral. The museum and archeological site were not very interesting to us, but they may be to you, so don’t miss them. This place claims that the holy grail is here, and we saw a grail from a distance, but we will defer to the experts to confirm or deny the claim. The altar is one of the most beautiful we’ve seen yet, and worth the price of admission. Non flash photography for private use is allowed and there is plenty to photograph here. Tickets are sold onsite only, and cash or credit card are accepted. This is a popular tourist site, so go at opening hour to avoid big crowds and long queues at the door. Enjoy.

Defo worth a visit.
One to visit if staying in the beautiful city. The external architecture and internal decoration is stunning and for €8 you get a useful audio guide which guides you round each section. There is a museum included, which includes some underground excavations and we also walked up the bell tower for an additional €2. The bell tower offers great views and it was brilliant to be up there when it chimed.

Unexpectedly different.
Spain does good Cathedrals. It cost me a senior rate of 5.50 to enter on a quiet afternoon. I don't agree with charging to enter any place of worship, but have to admit this ancient church is in excellent repair Externally it's unusual, with a huge lantern rather than a spire. The statuary around the doors is well preserved where sheltered, and is beautifully animated. I was expecting full-on Baroque inside, but it's remarkably plain and airy, with only the chapels getting the full treatment. An interesting one is the beautiful Holy Grail chapel - the leaflet being careful to sate there is no proof it's NOT the real thing! Don't miss this when in Valencia.
