How to spend less
- Valenbisi bike-share is cheap and turns the whole Turia Gardens corridor into a free, fast way to see the city
- La Lonja is often free or near-free on Sundays, worth timing a visit around
- Central Market before 11am doubles as both a sight and a cheap, real lunch option, buy a few things and eat on a bench nearby
- Skip the CAC's Oceanografic if budget-conscious, the Hemisferic and Museu de les Ciencies alone are far cheaper and the Turia Gardens outside are free
