Two churches in Valencia. San Nicolás, Valencia has 3 tickets and tours to book; Valencia Cathedral has 6 tickets and tours to book. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
This church is hidden in a narrow lane in the old quarter of Valencia and is easy to walk past, which is part of why it went unvisited for so long. It is ticketed, with an audio guide included, and tickets are sold at the door and online; timed slots apply at busy periods and the interior is small, so booking ahead in summer saves a wait. Guided walking tours of the historic centre include it along with the silk exchange, the cathedral and the central market, and that combination is the right day in Valencia.
The standard ticket covers the cathedral, the chapel of the Holy Chalice and the museum, and includes an audio guide; it is cheap and rarely needs booking. The Miguelete, the octagonal bell tower on the corner of the building, is a separate small ticket with its own entrance from the street and 207 spiral steps to a terrace over the old town. Guided tours cost several times the entry and are mostly built around the Holy Grail claim, which is the cathedral's headline.
