Valencia: Peñíscola Day Trip with Castle Ticket & Official Guide

Begin your day with a pickup from the meeting point in Valencia and set off on a road trip to Peñíscola, a town situated less than two hours from Valencia. Once you arrive in Peñíscola, explore the town’s old quarter, which features examples of Muslim, Roman, and Templar architecture. Follow the route of the ancient wall that once protected the town. Begin the tour at the Sea Museum, admiring the imposing Renaissance wall dating from the time of Philip II. Wander through its narrow streets, lined with charming shops, and pass by the famous Casa de las Conchas, where you’ll learn how this beautiful façade was decorated. Visit Peñíscola’s quintessential landmark: the castle. This fortress, perched atop a rocky outcrop by the sea, served as a palace and personal library for the famous Pope Luna, one of the most controversial religious figures in Spanish history. Continue your route along Peñíscola beach, where you’ll have some free time to enjoy the local cuisine.
