Return to Normalcy in the City of València After the DANA Floods

Today, the city's services and tourist attractions are operating as usual, making it a safe and as attractive a destination as ever. Additionally, your visit can serve as an extra incentive to help València’s emotional and economic recovery. Because seeing you in València fills our hearts.

Getting Around València

You can get around the city conveniently with the Valencia Tourist Card, which gives you access to the entire urban public transport network. If you're arriving by plane, you can take metro lines 3 and 5 or bus line 150 to get to the city hassle-free.

Tram lines 4, 6, 8, and 10, as well as metro lines 3, 5, and 9, are functioning along their entire routes. Additionally, lines 1 (between Bétera and Plaza de España), 2 (between Paterna and Plaza de España), and 7 (between Marítim and Sant Isidre) are operating partially. For the sections where the metro is still out of service, alternative buses are available. You can view the entire tram and metro network and substitute buses in this map.

Accessing València by Road or Train

Road access to the city is fully open and in good condition. If you have any doubts, you can check the status of the roads on the official profile of the Traffic Department, the Valencia City Council’s Traffic Office or the province roads map.

The AVE trains and the Media Distancia trains are operating normally, as well as all commuter lines, except for the Aldaia-Utiel section, which is being served by bus.

State of the Albufera Natural Park

Cleaning operations at the Albufera Natural Park are ongoing, meaning the beaches of Pinedo, Arbre de Gos, El Saler, Garrofera, and Devesa are temporarily closed to the public. However, boat rides on the lake have resumed, and all the restaurants in the area, known as the birthplace of paella, are open during their regular hours.
