Gandia is one of the most touristic cities in the Region of Valencia, both for its dream beaches and cultural offer.

Each year, Gandia attracts thousands of people from all over the world for its charms, among which we highlight the gastronomy and its local dish par excellence: the fideuà de Gandia. Here you are ten things that you should see in Gandia.

Museo Arqueológico de Gandia - MAGa

Formerly known as the Hospital of Sant Marc, it was an institution available for travellers and humble people open for 600 years. Nowadays, it is one of the most exciting museums in the region; the spaces called the Men's Room, and the Women's Room are impressive. In this place, key and artistic aspects of the Spanish society of the last century are gathered.

Museo Fallero

In this museum, you will learn about the Fallas meaning for the Valencian people. The Museo Fallero is full of ninots that transpire the magic and essence of this internationally recognised festivity.

Playa de l'Ahuir

Located towards the north. This beach has an extension of 3,000 meters, from which you can have a panoramic view of the Gandia dunes. Besides, near the Playa de l'Ahuir you will find a nudist beach, authorised and marked by the City of Gandia.

Venice Beach

Located south of the Club Náutico, Venice Beach is another of the ten points of interest to see in Gandia. It is a beach with fine sand and calm waves. Ideal for walking, enjoying the sun and the sound of the sea.

Chiringuitos

What would the Region of Valencia be without its emblematic beach bars? On the beaches of Gandia, you will find several of them where you can have delicious tapas and drinks, while you sunbathe or listen to music.

Aula Natura

A tourist destination presented as a research centre for the Mediterranean wetland. Thanks to the Aula Natura you can get up close to flora and fauna of the region. An ideal place to be in contact with nature and relax, feeling the fresh air of the Marjal de Gandia area.

Alquería del Duc

Very close to the Aula Natura is this two-storey building, in the middle of a central courtyard; a construction that dates from the sixteenth century. History indicates that the Arabs built it as a defence strategy. It remains open for visits and in its interior courses are taught.

In its nearby shops, you can buy souvenirs; there is also a sailing school and the church of San Nicolás, one of the most modern religious temples in town.

Colegiata de Santa María de Gandia

Known as La Seu, the collegiate church is one of the emblems of Valencian Gothic. Once King Jaime I conquered the Castle of Bayren, they built this Catholic temple in the city mosque. It is located in the heart of the city and around it you can find several shops and part of the most representative public and private buildings in the village.
