Official pageLocal tips
- One SUMA monthly card (35 EUR, zone 1) covers Metrovalencia, EMT bus, MetroBus and Cercanias.
- Ride the paved lane beside the Turia gardens; bikes are not allowed on the dirt running track and police fine it.
- Monthly coworking desks start around 50 EUR and the median is 150 EUR, so a flexible month is easy to find.
