The character of the walk
The former riverbed links historic bridges with contemporary architecture. The walk starts with a stone bridge before the large white forms of the opera house and museums come into view. Garden paths support an independent walk, but play structures and exhibitions have separate access arrangements. Markings distinguish pedestrian and cycle routes
Landmarks along the way
Pont de la Mar: a historic stone bridge above the former riverbed gardens; Gulliver Park: a playground sculpture in the Turia Gardens; Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía: an opera house with a distinctive white shell
Hemisfèric: an eye-shaped building beside reflecting pools; Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe: the long white museum building in the City of Arts and Sciences
