Feria Valencia is huge, one of the largest exhibition areas in Spain. It encompasses several buildings and hosts national and international fairs, conventions, congresses, seminars and concerts. The site can accommodate up to 20,000 people. If you’re here for a conference, trade event or show, add a little time to look around the massive complex.
Although this site has been a focal point for city gatherings for more than a century, the modern convention center has been in place only since 2007. Appreciate the spectacular architecture, especially the event center’s large glass bubble that sits at ground level. The sun glinting off its panels creates an impressive sight. The view is even more spectacular at night when the dome is illuminated. This is the center’s roof, while the rooms and conference halls are spread across several levels inside under the huge dome.
Once inside look up at the sky through the dome. Ride the escalators to see the rest of the colossal building. In the adjacent garden square, the glass roof is reflected in several shallow pools of water. Visit the pavilions and landscaped plaza of the Central Forum building, a large glass structure with four levels of exhibition and meeting spaces. Find multiple refreshments throughout the center.
Discover what’s going on at Feria Valencia by consulting the calendar of events on its official website. Among the many professional and public activities that have been hosted here are Valencia Fashion Week, scientific conferences, car shows, video game shows, motorcycle trade shows, ecological fairs, children’s fashion shows and real estate fairs.
