The Miguelete is the tower of Valencia´s cathedral. There´s a bit of a climb to get up to the top of the tower, but the view over Valencia is spectacular and worth the 2€.

Come on, you are eating and eating and eating the delights of Valencia, now you need to walk all 207 steps to the top of the tower, take in the city and burn off some calories. It is a narrow, claustrophobic and intense climb at times, but the view are worth the effort. More

Worth the climb up (through a narrow round staircase that will test your lungs and stamina). Fantastic views over this huge city that doesn't look nearly as big from down below. Only wish it had had one of those maps that tell you what different things are once you're upstairs. More

The climb up the spiral staircase is not easy but it has lots of natural light and you can take it at your own pace. Well worth the effort as the views are spectacular from the top. Watch out for the bell ringing though - it is very loud when you are at the top!! More

Its name comes from the largest bell, which was baptized on the Feast of St. Michael in 1418. This tower is one of the emblems... More
