Here are the best indoor plans for the few grey days of the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valencia is famous for enjoying more than 300 days of sunshine a year, but when the clouds roll in and the rain makes an appearance, the city reveals a fascinating B-side. Far from ruining your trip, a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take shelter in spectacular palaces, discover contemporary art and enjoy family time without watching the clock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re staying in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.terretaflats.es\/en\/nazaret-valencia-guide\/\">Natzaret<\/a>, you have the huge advantage of being a stone\u2019s throw from the City of Arts and Sciences and the Oceanogr\u00e0fic, and perfectly connected to the centre. Here\u2019s the ultimate guide to making the most of Valencia indoors.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do on a rainy day in Valencia: indoor plans<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f Art and culture: museums that draw you in<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it rains, losing yourself in art is the cosiest plan of all.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Centro de Arte Hortensia Herrero:<\/strong> The city\u2019s newest gem. Housed in the restored Valeriola Palace, this museum holds a world-class private collection of contemporary art. Its indoor galleries and architecture make it the perfect refuge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum):<\/strong> One of the most important art galleries in Spain. Its spacious classical galleries are an oasis of calm for a morning visit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83d\udccd Getting there from Natzaret:<\/strong> Take Metro Line 10 (Natzaret stop) to Alacant station. From there it\u2019s a short walk to the old town.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udff0 Indoor monuments: a journey back in time<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to be outside to admire Valencian architecture; the interiors are even more impressive.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Valencia Cathedral:<\/strong> Head inside to admire the Holy Grail and the stunning Renaissance frescoes above the high altar. You can climb the 207 steps of the Miguelete tower under cover (the top terrace is open-air, but the climb itself is worth it).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Palace of the Marqu\u00e9s de Dos Aguas:<\/strong> After photographing its spectacular alabaster fa\u00e7ade, step inside to discover how Valencian nobility lived in its opulent rooms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange):<\/strong> A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its Hall of Columns, with vaults that imitate stone palm trees, is a majestic space and completely sheltered from the rain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udecd\ufe0f Marine life and shopping: fun without an umbrella<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re after a lively plan where you can spend hours without setting foot outside, this is the winning combination, and it\u2019s literally right next to your apartment.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Oceanogr\u00e0fic:<\/strong> Although it has outdoor areas, its huge underwater pavilions (Oceans, Arctic, Tropics) let you walk through shark tunnels and discover marine life in a fascinating indoor setting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shopping and food:<\/strong> Just a few minutes from the Oceanogr\u00e0fic you\u2019ll find the <strong>El Saler shopping centre<\/strong> and <strong>El Corte Ingl\u00e9s on Avenida de Francia<\/strong> (and if you prefer the centre, El Corte Ingl\u00e9s on Pintor Sorolla). They\u2019re ideal for shopping, a good coffee or a relaxed family meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83d\udccd Getting there from Natzaret:<\/strong> It\u2019s your neighbouring area. Bus 99 or 15 drops you at the door of El Saler shopping centre and the Oceanogr\u00e0fic in under 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfb3 Family fun: keeping kids and teens entertained<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re travelling with children and the park isn\u2019t an option, Valencia has a whole arsenal of indoor activities to burn off energy.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bowling and arcades:<\/strong> In shopping centres such as El Saler or Aqua Multiespacio you\u2019ll find modern bowling alleys and games areas for a whole afternoon of friendly family rivalry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtual reality games:<\/strong> Venues such as Zero Latency (very close to the Turia Gardens) offer immersive experiences where the whole family puts on VR headsets and plays as a team. A sure-fire hit with teenagers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Escape rooms:<\/strong> Valencia is full of escape rooms with themes for all ages, from Harry Potter-style magical mysteries to detective adventures. A great team activity that makes you forget about the rain for an hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a busy day of museums, shopping or games, the best plan is always heading back to the warmth of your apartment.
