Valencia is already a highly regarded destination in business tourism. The latest rankings by the ICCA and UIA offer proof, since the city advanced many positions and now finds itself ranked ahead of such cities as Milan, Dublin, Chicago and Toronto. Valencia perfectly combines its offer of cutting-edge spaces with unique venues of great artistic-historic value where events can be held.

Valencia is incredible but true.

Palacio de Congresos

One example of contemporary architecture is the Palacio de Congresos (Conference Centre) designed by British architect Norman Foster with a capacity for over 1,480 people in one hall. It celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2008, and unveiled a photovoltaic roof to seal its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.

Feria Valencia

Feria Valencia is another reference for its cutting-edge architecture and the comfort and state-of-the-art technology offered in its halls. It occupies a total area of 230,000 m2, 152,600 m2 of which are completely open-plan, and contains 7,000 parking spaces. Its halls can accommodate up to 5,000 people. The Events Centre, now a symbol of the exhibition complex, impresses visitors with its innovative architecture.

Cutting-edge venues

The City of Arts and Science, designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, is one of the most popular venues for meetings and events due to its design, the capacity of the buildings and the latest technology. Apart from the Príncipe Felipe Science museum, the Oceanográfico and the Hemisfèric, the city boasts the Palau de les Arts which contains halls for conferences and events in addition to being the city's leading opera and performing arts centre.
[NIEUWE_PAGINA]The Ágora, the building which put the finishing touch to Calatrava's work, is a new space for events with a capacity of 5,000 people. The Valencia CF stadium will give the city a new space capable of holding 75,000 people. Other cuttingedge buildings the Palau de la Música, the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM), and the Valencia Museum of the Enlightenment and Modernity (MUVIM).

Other unique spaces

As a counterpoint to these modern spaces, historic places and country houses are being promoted as unique places to hold events or meetings. Businesspeople can choose from churches, such as the Cartuja del Ara Christi, and museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, to a range of country houses in the heart of the Valencian countryside, such as Campo Aníbal, Huerto de Santa María and Masía de Xamandreu.
