Estació del Nord

Valencia's main train station — a 1917 Art Nouveau gem decorated, fittingly for the region, with orange-blossom motifs, ceramic mosaics, and ironwork canopies that celebrate Valencian agriculture and craft. The booking hall is a riot of tilework and carved wood, a working station that doubles as a decorative-arts showcase. For visitors, it's worth stepping inside even without a train to catch — a beautifully preserved piece of early-20th-century design where the everyday business of travel unfolds beneath mosaics of oranges and flowers, just steps from the bullring and the city center.
