October is one of the best months to enjoy Valencia. The city glows with a softer light, the weather is perfect for walking without the summer heat, and the Mediterranean breeze invites you to live outdoors. With pleasant temperatures, the Turia capital perfectly combines culture, leisure, and gastronomy, becoming the ideal destination for a family getaway in Valencia.

Autumn in Valencia has a special charm: the beaches are quiet, the parks regain their calm, and the museums open their doors to a new cultural season. At the heart of it all lies the impressive City of Arts and Sciences, one of Spain’s most iconic landmarks. This futuristic complex offers fun for all ages — interactive exhibitions, IMAX cinema, huge aquariums, and fascinating science shows that amaze both kids and adults.

A visit to the Oceanogràfic, Europe’s largest aquarium, is a must. In October, you can enjoy it peacefully, without the crowds: walk among sharks, discover penguins and jellyfish, and attend marine shows in a space that combines education and sustainability. Just a few steps away, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum offers interactive experiences where touching, exploring, and learning are part of the fun.

But Valencia is not only about modernity. Its historic centre preserves the Mediterranean soul through narrow streets, lively squares, and traditional markets. The Silk Exchange (La Lonja de la Seda), the Central Market, and the Valencia Cathedral are must-sees to understand the city’s history. Lose yourself in the El Carmen district or enjoy a sunset over the former Turia riverbed — now transformed into a beautiful park that stretches across the entire city.

Valencian gastronomy also shines in autumn. It’s the perfect time to taste an authentic paella by the sea, try creamy rice dishes, or enjoy traditional tapas made with local ingredients. Beachfront restaurants remain open but with a calmer, more family-friendly atmosphere — ideal for unwinding without haste.

To complete the experience, ILUNION Aqua 3 and ILUNION Aqua 4 offer the perfect location: right next to the City of Arts and Sciences and the Aqua Multiespacio shopping centre, with shops, restaurants, and cinemas. Both hotels stand out for their modern design, spectacular views, and the warm, attentive service that makes every guest feel at home.

ILUNION Aqua 4 is an elegant, contemporary hotel designed for those seeking a complete and comfortable stay in Valencia. Its spacious rooms, many with panoramic views of the City of Arts and Sciences, are designed for rest and relaxation. It also features a panoramic restaurant on the ninth floor, where Mediterranean cuisine meets breathtaking views — a perfect experience for couples and business travellers alike. With fully accessible facilities, it ensures a modern and inclusive stay with the unmistakable quality seal of ILUNION Hotels.

Valencia in October invites you to live authentic experiences: walking through the City of Arts at sunset, cycling along the Turia Gardens, tasting a fresh horchata in Plaza de la Reina, or watching the sun go down from the Marina.
