The address and the area
The venue's address is Calle Turia 62, 46008 Valencia, and its own site places the house in the centre of the city. The postcode and the street number are all a map app needs, and the venue links a map from its contact page. Your confirmation repeats the address along with your session details, so keep a copy where you can find it on the street. Both old gates sit within the walking distance the venue itself describes.
By Metro and bus
The venue's page on getting there names a Metro stop called Turia, and several bus stops: Petxina, Quart – Guillén de Castro and Turia. VisitValencia's listing for the café also mentions the Metro and city buses. Routes and numbers change, so check the current map on the operator's site or your transport app on the day, and ask your hotel which stop is simplest from where you are staying. The names above are the stops to look for.
On foot from the old city gates
The venue says it is about five minutes on foot from the Torres de Quart and ten from the Torres de Serranos. Those are the venue's own figures, so treat them as a guide and allow more time if you are pushing a pushchair or walking after dark in unfamiliar streets. Both gates are useful landmarks. Wikipedia describes the Torres de Quart as the western gate of the old wall, a fortified Gothic gate 34 metres tall, built between 1441 and 1493.
Two gates worth seeing on the way
If you arrive early, the gates make an easy stroll before the show. Wikipedia says the Torres de Quart still show the marks of cannonballs and bullets from 28 June 1808, during the Battle of Valencia, and became a national monument in 1931. Work on the Torres de Serranos began on 6 April 1392 and ended in March 1398, and the article calls them one of the best preserved monuments in the city. Opening hours and entry rules change, so confirm them before planning a visit inside.
Arriving for the show
Doors open before each show, and the venue's site advises being at the door when they open. Seats are given in order of arrival and tables are shared, so an early arrival is the nearest thing to choosing your place. The confirmation shows your session, and the start times on the venue's pages differ between days, so do not plan from an old screenshot. If you reach the street early, there is a bar inside the room where you can use the drink that comes with the GetYourGuide ticket.
Access and children
The show is marked wheelchair accessible, and VisitValencia lists the café as adapted to reduced mobility. Anyone who needs space should warn the venue before travelling, since the room is small. The venue also says that a child without a paid ticket has no seat and must sit with a parent. Keep any reply from the venue together with your booking. The venue's site does not publish further access details, so ask before you rely on a specific route.
Who this isn't for
Visitors expecting transport to the door, a guided walk or a fixed meeting point will not find them here: the ticket is entry to a show, and you make your own way to the street. Guests who need step-free routes from further away should plan the journey in advance with a transport app and the venue's advice, and consider whether a taxi suits the evening. A taxi or a ride service can take you to the street if walking at night does not suit you.
