Port information & tips for Valencia
Valencia is Spain's third-largest city and a radiant jewel on the Mediterranean coast, delighting visitors with its harmonious blend of historical heritage and avant-garde architecture. The atmosphere is characterized by the expansive Turia Gardens and a vibrant gastronomy scene full of Mediterranean lightness. Spectacular highlights within easy reach include the futuristic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias as well as the impressive Oceanogràfic, while the golden city beach of Playa de la Malvarrosa invites you to linger. Cruise ships dock at the modern Muelle de Poniente or at the Transversal Dock. From these terminals, travelers can easily reach the city center, located about four kilometers away, by shuttle bus or taxi, while simultaneously enjoying the maritime flair of the Marina de València directly at the port.
Thanks to its modern infrastructure and excellent connection to the Spanish high-speed rail network, the Port of Valencia is an ideal home port for Mediterranean cruises. The terminals at Muelle de Cruceros and Muelle de Poniente offer first-class facilities and can be reached quickly from both the airport and the city center.
Airplane
Valencia Manises International Airport (VLC) is located approximately 20 kilometers west of the port and is served by direct flights from Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, and Vienna. Thanks to the good connections, you can reach your ship comfortably by taxi in about 25 to 30 minutes, or use metro lines 3 and 5 to the city center for a relaxed arrival the day before.
Car & Parking
Via the AP-7 Mediterranean motorway or the A-3 coming from Madrid, you can reach the V-30 bypass road directly, which leads you without detours to the port entrance and the signs for the passenger terminals. Secure long-term parking is available at the port at Muelle de Poniente; in addition, specialized Park & Cruise providers offer convenient valet services or shuttles directly to check-in.
Train
The Valencia Joaquín Sorolla high-speed train station is the central hub for AVE trains from Madrid and Barcelona and is located only about 8 kilometers from the port. From there, you can reach the terminal directly by taxi in 15 to 20 minutes or use the modern tram line 10, which connects the Alacant district near the center directly with the port area.
