Valencia

Its ability to bring together historic heritage and cutting-edge architecture offers unique settings for congresses, meetings and corporate events. From the Palacio de Congresos de València, an international benchmark in the sector, to landmark venues such as the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Veles e Vents, Feria Valencia and the Roig Arena, a state-of-the-art multifunctional venue able to host large events for up to 20,000 people.

València’s excellent connectivity is another of its great attractions for the MICE sector. Its international airport, just a few kilometres from the centre, offers direct connections with numerous European cities and other international destinations, making it easier for participants from different markets to arrive. This is complemented by the high-speed rail network, which links València with Madrid and other Spanish cities, reinforcing its accessibility and its competitiveness as a venue for professional gatherings.

Added to this is one of València’s great competitive advantages: its human scale. A comfortable, accessible city that makes getting around easy and allows professional activity to be combined with an exceptional cultural and gastronomic offer. More than 2,000 years of history, urban beaches, natural spaces and a busy cultural calendar turn any stay into an opportunity to discover the authentic Mediterranean way of life.

Sustainability and innovation are part of València’s strategy as a meetings destination. The city, recognised as European Green Capital 2024, was a pioneer in measuring and certifying the carbon footprint of its tourism activity and continues to move towards a more responsible, inclusive model of tourism that respects its surroundings.

Its participation in the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS-Index), the commitment to sustainable mobility, an extensive network of cycle lanes and pedestrian areas, the promotion of local gastronomy and the energy efficiency of its event venues reflect this commitment.

València also offers many ways to bring sustainability and local identity into social and incentive programmes. Cycling through the Jardín del Turia, enjoying water activities in the Mediterranean, discovering the secrets of paella in the Parque Natural de l’Albufera or experiencing the Valencian market garden are some of the proposals that connect participants with the territory.

The city completes its offer with a hotel supply in continuous renewal, new cultural spaces and a strong network of professionals specialised in organising congresses and events.

This combination of infrastructure, talent, sustainability and quality of life consolidates València as a competitive, versatile MICE destination, able to meet the needs of major international congresses, corporate conventions, professional meetings and incentive trips.
