It also has the upside that almost all of Valencia is flat (except ramps up and down the river and very few streets (which is hard to find) with a minimum slopes that are very short.
Ways of getting arround are:
- Walking as most of the things are quite grouped. It is also a beautiful, practical and inexpensive way to see Valencia.
- By bike, since very few sections with slopes, and in recent years has increased the number of cycle pathsalthough it should be careful, because neither cars nor pedestrians respect it too much.
- By bus, there are many lines, some of which pass through areas very interesting (and are cheaper than the touristic bus). Although it has the problem that the pass frequency varies greatly according to lines, areas and times.
- By metro and tram, which despite its few lines, are quite useful, although it should consult timetables on the lines come to the surrounding villages. In addition to saving money they have been removed the ticket offices and you must to carry cash to buy the single ticket (very expensive) or reload the Bonometro (slightly less expensive) in the automatic machines.
- On motorcycle, either own or for rent. The largest part of the year there are good weather, allow to use it throughout the year. The rental option is not suitable for all budgets, but is quite useful.
- By car, which I only recommend for to go outside of Valencia, the people from Valencia because are slightly chaotic driving and look for parking in most areas is an impossible task.
- Personally I do not recommend or skate roller skates (except on routes to enabled zones, because the streets of Valencia are not very smooth and stable. Also I don't know where rent them (though I seek information about it).
- The taxi, not usually necessary (unless you have a hurry, or late at night), is quite expensive and also in big cities, often do more tourist routes, and less practical.
