You can take in the whole city from a very tall, convertible bus called Bus Turistic. It stops right in front of Solea Spanish School.

In Valencia, nightlife is a major priority. People usually go out at night to restaurants and bars for a full night of dinner, drinks, dancing or maybe just to have a drink. These leisure zones are spread throughout the city and usually have different opening hours, but they all tend to close at around 3:00am in the morning, although there are some nightclubs that are open until 7:00am.
