As old classical cities, the Casco Antiguo offers you on day a great foot visit and night a great "night out" option, Don't be ashamed to look inside the houses,,,,,great Gothic palaces from XIV till XVI century. Looking well you will find rest of the original wall surrounding Valencia and old gates as Portal de la Valldigna

It is difficult to articulate the experience of wandering around the Old Town. No house is the same as its neighbours. An old door will hide a lovely piazza. The architecture will change dramatically. Every building seems to co-exist separately and collectively. Graffiti and class.
