Valencia’s public transportation

Valencia’s public transportation system is world-class.

Metro

Valencia’s metro system combines seamlessly with the tram system, accepting a single payment for 90 minutes of travel. Tickets can be purchased at the many kiosks located at all stations, in multiple languages, accepting both cash and cards. Discounts of 10 trips (abonos) can also be bought for discounted travel over 50%, for example, reducing a standard 1.50 euro fare to 72 cents per journey. If switching from Metro to Tramvia or in reverse, your ticket will still be valid. Valencia’s underground system is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get around the city. It is a comfortable way to travel in the summer as there is air conditioning in the carriages as well as classical music to soothe the soul!
There will be parts of Valencia that you cannot reach by Metro. For these occasions there is generally a tram that takes its place. If you buy one of Valencia’s combined ticket options that also cover buses and the Metro, you will also be able to cross the city quickly and comfortably.
