Why go
This compact route suits visitors who want to understand Valencia through everyday trade and civic buildings before taking a green break. Central Market and the Lonja de la Seda are neighbours, so the shift from food stalls to the former silk exchange takes only a few minutes. The Cathedral adds another kind of landmark within the old centre. These three visits make a complete route without a demanding transfer. The Turia Gardens are optional if the weather suits a longer walk and you want space after the historic streets. Plan the market visit first, and check current opening information before you go.
