Museo de Bellas Artes de València
La Saïdia, Valencia, Spain
The Museo de Bellas Artes offers a more reflective cultural stop away from the busiest old-town circuit. Its collections make it worth visiting for the art itself, not merely as a wet-weather alternative. Give a few rooms real attention rather than attempting to absorb the whole museum at speed. It fits especially well into a day that includes the Turia Gardens, allowing time to move between painting, architecture and the city's public green spaces.
