Route 3 - Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències and Pla de Real

Valencia diverted the course of the Turia River

due to the continuous floods it suffered.

This former riverbed is now a beautiful 9-kilometer garden,

that crosses the city from west to east.

On its sides there are museums, sports facilities,

and playgrounds.

It has 18 bridges that cross the area.

If we cross the Flower Bridge we reach the Pla del Real district

where we find several buildings that were built

for the Valencian Regional Exhibition of 1909.

The City of Arts and Sciences is also located in this district,

and in front of it is the renovated Fallas Museum.
