Our tips

If you want a more substantial meal, we suggest you leave the train station. Valencia’s Chinatown, west of the station, is filled with restaurants and fast food venues. There, you’re likely to find food anytime, as the businesses’ timetables are very flexible. If Chinese food is not your favourite, you can go towards the Old Town, just north of the station. There you’ll find many Spanish and other Mediterranean food options.
