The old town's narrow streets hold the Valencia Cathedral, which claims to house the Holy Grail, and the Lonja de la Seda, a 15th-century silk exchange and UNESCO site. The Central Market, one of Europe's largest, sells fresh produce, cured meats, and spices under a modernist iron-and-glass roof. The City of Arts and Sciences, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is a campus of white, curved buildings along a drained riverbed, including an aquarium, a science museum, and an opera house. Paella was invented in the Valencia region, and the local version uses rabbit and chicken rather than seafood. Horchata, a cold drink made from tiger nuts, is sold at the horchaterías. The port is about 20 minutes from the centre by shuttle or taxi. The euro is the currency. ## Your day in Valencia The old town is 4 to 6 km away. Take a cruise shuttle, city bus or taxi. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Moll de Ponent (Poniente quay), Trasmed terminal (39.45422, -0.32344) Walking times from the cruise terminal: Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/88888523-aac6-4d2e-a53b-c89bde983fcc.geojson) ### What to see #### Lonja de la Seda UNESCO Gothic silk exchange from the 1480s with Pere Compte's trading hall.
