The great square at the foot of the cathedral

The Plaza de la Reina is one of the most important and most central squares of Valencia.

It is one of the hearts of the old town and an ideal starting point to explore the historic centre, near the Central Market, the Lonja and the El Carmen district. Recently redeveloped and made largely pedestrian, the square has become a vast open space, more pleasant and convivial, lined with cafés, terraces and shops, and planted with orange trees, the emblematic tree of Valencia. Lively by day and by night, it welcomes inhabitants and visitors and constitutes a must-see meeting place. From there, the gaze takes in the cathedral and you can undertake the climb of the Micalet. A historic heart and a place of life, the Plaza de la Reina is a must-see stop of the discovery of Valencia.
