Valencia Third largest city of Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. For such a big city, organize the coordinated work of all types of urban transport - the task is not simple, but in Valencia they coped with it perfectly. Everything is very convenient, thought out and most importantly there is the opportunity to travel for free.
Before you tell about the secrets of free trips to Valencia, I want to say a few words about what I liked the most in the organization of urban transport. The main advantage here is informative. Pro electronic tablo At stops, with traffic intervals, I will not be particularly distributed - this is already the norm for any major city. But O. for more information, at the same stops, it is worth it.

The bus number or tram that stops at any stop is visible from afar, which means that it is not necessary to specifically go to the stop, go through the road to find out that your bus does not go here.

(Photo from Google-Maps)

If the electronic scoreboard, by virtue of their considerable cost, is far from all stops of the city, then detailed schemes Movements, with all stops, are present everywhere, even on the most gravity bus stop.

But this way of informing passengers, about where and how this bus is followed, we will say gently surprised. It was in the morning. We once again decided to ride the 95th bus route for free, and when they entered the salon, they saw leaflets scattered on the seats of the bus.

The first thought was that this is some kind of advertising, but when I looked attentively, I found that these are special booklets, with detailed description 95th route and map of the city. A trifle, but nice that the passengers think and care.

These booklets are most likely designed for such tourists as we so that not knowing the language, people could navigate where, and when they go.

Well, now, in fact, how free you can ride in the city transport of Valencia.

For two days to ride free of charge on all types of transport, the countless number of times a day, you still need to pay first, and buy such a T2 card, valid for all types of ground urban transport EMT and metro within zone A. It costs this card 6.70 Euro + 2 Map itself.

I hear the perturbed voices that almost 10 euros are yours for free ??? Then let's consider ... The cost of a single trip in Valencia city transport is 1.5 euros. Consequently, one trip back and forth - it is 3 euros. 8.7 euros spent after the first three trips. But the main thing is not even in these spent or saved nine euros - the main sense of complete freedom, and Euphoria from the fact that you can not climb two days from buses, trams and subways, to ride anywhere and how much. That is, the complete feeling that you ride absolutely free.
In general, options for various travel cards in Valencia are about a dozen and they all allow you to save well for paying, but for tourists who arrived for a couple of days, the most optimal option - These are T1 cards (for one day), T2 and T3 (for three days of trips).

The most inhuman in terms of the cost of travel is the passage of the metro station from the airport to the city. To do this, you need to buy this card, and one trip costs almost five euros (4.90 € of which 3.90 € pass + 1 € Reusable card). If you buy a ticket back, then the cost will be cheaper - 8.40 €, taking into account the cost of the card, but this is not our case, because From Valencia, on the coast, we traveled by the Alsa bus.

For tourists there is another type of travel cards - Valencia Tourist Card, giving other museums and attractions except free travel in urban transport, will save and get a discount in many stores, restaurants and other public places. The cost of Valencia Tourist Card for 1 day - 15 €, for 2 days - 18 € and for 3 days - 22.50 €. When buying such a card on the site, you can teach a discount of 10%.

On this trip in Spain, Valencia was the only city where we were able to disappear on the freezer in the city, especially with the fact that you will not get to the beach and from the beach on foot. Nor in Benidorm, nor Williayasos such a freebie no longer. Valencia is a wonderful city!)
