About This Guide

Valencia celebrates New Year's Eve in two places: the party in Plaza del Ayuntamiento and fireworks at the City of Arts and Sciences. Both were free in 2025. At midnight, many people eat twelve grapes with the chimes.

Where to see in the New Year

  • Nochevieja party and campanadas — Plaza del Ayuntamiento. 31 December 2025, 22:30 to 01:45, entry from 22:00 through five access points, with DJs and the midnight chimes.
  • Campanadas infantiles (children's countdown) — Plaza del Ayuntamiento. 31 December 2025, 11:00 to 12:30, with a countdown at noon.
  • Fireworks show 'Resplandor' — City of Arts and Sciences. 31 December 2025, nine-minute display by Pirotecnia Vulcano.

Dates and times change from year to year, so check the organiser's listing before you travel.

Where to stay

  • Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the old town: Walk to the main party and home again without needing transport.
  • Ruzafa: Restaurants and bars close by, and about a 15-minute walk to Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
  • Near the City of Arts and Sciences: Close to the fireworks display, in a modern area at the end of the Turia gardens.

How we picked: these are 4- and 5-star hotels in Valencia rated 8 or higher by Booking.com guests, listed closest to the centre first so you can walk back after midnight. Checked in October 2026.
