🇪🇸 Valencia 5D4N Ultimate Family Guide ✅

This year, my kids’ Swiss ski break ⛷️ miraculously overlapped with Chinese New Year 🧨. With warm winters ruining snow conditions and my 3-year-old still hesitant about skiing (after a test run at Christmas 🏔️), we swapped snow for sunshine—one flight ✈️ later, we landed in Valencia! Best. Decision. Ever. 👏 Here’s our perfect 5-day itinerary for families: ✈️ Day 1: Touchdown & Chill • Airport to hotel: Taxis 🚕 are plentiful (but car seats are mandatory—ours took 10 mins to arrange). • Hotel Palacio Vallencia: Affordable 5-star suite (meh views—next time, we’ll stay beachfront! 🏝️). • Lunch fail: No reservations? Settle for bar tapas and paella 🥘 (pro tip: book ahead!). • Pool time 🏊 to unwind! 🏖️ Day 2: Parks & Beaches • Gulliver Park: Giant slide = kids (and adults!) in wonderland 🛝. • Malvarrosa Beach: Sunbathe + dig at 26°C (yes, people swam! ☀️). 🐬 Day 3: Oceanogràfic + Science Fun • Europe’s "largest" aquarium (sorry, Qingdao’s is better), but dolphin shows 🎪 delighted the kids. • Science Museum (combo ticket!): Gravity experiments + interactive exhibits—we stayed till closing! 🤯 • Arts & Sciences City: Futuristic photo ops 📸 at golden hour. 🏰 Day 4: History + Dinosaurs • Morning: Military Museum + Valencia University + stadium tour ⚽. • Afternoon: Royal Gardens’ dinosaur exhibit 🦖 (big sibling approved!). • Evening: Old Town wandering + light shopping 🛍️. ✈️ Day 5: Lazy Departure • Slept in, then grabbed Iberian pork (sliced/vacuum-packed—allow extra time!). #NewYearTravel #ValenciaWithKids #SunshineEscape #FamilyAdventures #SwissLife
