Do you know that our next destination, the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, is none other than the real-life location of 'Tomorrowland'? ( from the American science fiction film Tomorrowland)
The first place we visited was The Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts, which is an opera house and theatre. The architecture has a unique rugby shape, and if you look carefully at the design of its facade, it actually looks like a giant human eye.
The next part of our visit, L'Umbracle, was our favorite! The beautiful, futuristic garden, also known as The Walk of the Sculptures, is an outdoor gallery filled with sculptures and natural plants, that spans across the walkway of the whole complex.
It is a great place to visit during Spring or Summer, where everyone can catch a cool breeze and enjoy the art and nature as they walk along the terrace.
The other parts that make up the City of the Arts and Sciences are the Prince Philip Science Museum, L'Agora, L'Hemispheric, and L'Oceanografic.
Each of the sleek, white buildings is a futuristic world that offers cultural experiences such as an Imax cinema, a Planetarium, a Laserium, an Interactive exhibition centre, and much more. It even has a crystal clear pool where you can kayak.
This purpose-built attraction is a different and new cultural experience for everyone, because most other attractions are usually related to things of the past, like religion or heritage. The City of Arts and Sciences lets us experience the world of the future, the world of 'Tomorrowland'.
Adventure Awaits!
