It depends on which display you are seeing. The one in Plaza del Ayuntamiento lasts around 11 minutes, but the ones by the casales falleros last less.

Nit de l’Albà was the term used for the Albà de les Falles up until 2021. The name was changed to avoid confusion with a celebration of the same name that takes place in August in the town of Elche, not too far from Valencia.

The tradition was first introduced in 1966, but it soon fell into disuse, only to be recovered in 2016.

If you want to go to the main Albà de les Falles display in Plaza del Ayuntamiento, you can take public transport (metro or bus) or simply walk there. We recommend the last option if you’re already in the city centre.
