    The architecture is absolutely stunning, it is very beautiful, this place holds opera, plays and various concerts. We didn’t attend while we were in Valencia but we did stop by to take some photos and enjoy the other museums in the area, it was very beautiful and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

    Very impressive structure and perfect for pictures. Don't miss out on the wide variety of concerts and plays that they offer such as the "orquestra de la comunidad de Valencia". Great to experience with family, friends and loved ones.

    for me one of the most beautiful places in the city. the buildings are stunning and huge, the building has a water basin which is made of mosaic just like the building itself. the architecture really comes into its own here, wonderful in combination with the river bed and parks around

  • 5/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome piece of architecture with an impressive concert hall inside. All situated in the very unique city of arts and sciences. The building is an incredible feat of engineering, definitely something to go and see while you are in Valencia.

  • 5/5 Ania W. 2 years ago on Google
    Totally incredible place, especially worth visiting after dark when it’s light up

  • 5/5 Oriol C. 1 year ago on Google
    Spectacular building, from the outside and the opera theater inside is marvelous. With the dark-blue tiling it feels like you are under water

  • 5/5 Ant M. 1 year ago on Google
    Made the guided tour of the Opera Les Arts. The visit was excellent, we could see the backstages, box, main halls... Our guide, Suzana, was great. Thank you

  • 5/5 M J. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible place just to visit without even any event. In TV Show Westworld this was a main headquarter of AI corporation. In real life there are going a lot of cultural events.

  • 5/5 Iryna T. 1 year ago on Google
    Must visit in Valencia!!! The best place to get lost...count to spend there hours. You can hire a bicycle to make rounds, walking or just sit on the bench surrounded with wonderful plants and enjoy.

  • 5/5 Miassar M. 2 years ago on Google
    This magnificent structure was designed by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava to host the opera house. It is part of the sprawling complex named The City of Art and Science. The opera house contains four halls. The main one (1500 seat) is dedicated, mainly, to opera performances, The auditorium (1400 seat) for different music performances and two more halls each with 400 seats for other music or performing activities. It also features a restaurant and a café with view to the large artificial lake right in front of the opera house. The guided tour inside the building was not available when we visited.

    The building looks very futuristic, like a spaceship. And there is plenty of space for walking, running, or riding a bike, or skate, or scooter around.

  • 5/5 arsalan k. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a remarkable piece of architecture. The whole complex is just a delight. The science museum is really fun for all ages with all its interactive displays and the aquarium is also a whole day of wonders.

  • 5/5 Willy T. 2 years ago on Google
    The building is nice....pity the architect is a conman.

  • 5/5 Petri V. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place to visit! A must in Valencia!

  • 5/5 Dinc B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best among the other buildings. Inside and the outside of the building is incredibly wonderful.

  • 5/5 Dr. Jose G. Lepervanche V. 3 years ago on Google
    Back to the city of the Arts and Sciences to attend the open house of Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia. It was a cool opportunity to visit all the spaces, principal hall, concert hall and upper hall of the bulls. all covid19 safety measures were taken. We look forward to attend one or more of the performances.

  • 4/5 Georgette 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely concert hall and great acoustics. Was a bit concerned about the acoustics because of the mosaic architecture and modernistic Calatrava design. But nothing to worry about there. Each seat counts with a live lighted display with translation of the words being sung in at least 6 languages. Don't give it the 5 ⭐ because leg space was extremely tight.

  • 5/5 Natalia P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good experience. Zarzuela Doña Francisquita is a wonderful spectacle. Catering service during the pause could be improved.

  • 5/5 Amro S. 1 year ago on Google
    A great way to spend the day; exploring the area and checking out what each building has to offer! Now with the reopening of the CaixaForum, there’s a little more for you to do. Perfect for a solo, couple and family outing.

  • 5/5 Chester L. 2 years ago on Google
    Inside just like a space ship !! But the music and the design is super good and amazing, they don’t need the microphone to sing ! Enjoying the true voice

    Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofía; anglicised as "Queen Sofía Palace of the Arts") is an opera house, performing arts centre, and urban landmark designed by Santiago Calatrava to anchor the northwest end of the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain. It opened on 8 October 2005; its first opera staging was of Beethoven's Fidelio on 25 October 2006.

  • 5/5 Thomas L. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth to travel to Valencia just because of this. We took the guided tour and saw 2 concerts. Amazing.

  • 5/5 Gregory T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to visit. The grounds around it are really nice.

  • 5/5 Ana S. 2 years ago on Google
    A truly beautiful concert hall. Each space is more breathtaking than the next with amazing acoustics and just beautiful decor and design overall. If you can go see anything in these halls, do not hesitate for a second.
