Tips & Advice
- Check the specific operating dates and times for the 'Tren de los comerciantes' in advance, as they vary throughout December and early January, with some days offering only morning rides.
- Arrive at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento a little early to soak in the festive atmosphere, especially if there's a Christmas tree lighting or other nearby events scheduled.
- Consider combining your train ride with a visit to the impressive Nativity scene (Belén) located in the Salón de Cristal, which is also part of the city's holiday offerings.
- While the train ride itself is free, be aware that other attractions in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, like the ice rink, may have separate ticketing.
- Dress warmly, as the train operates outdoors and winter weather in Valencia can be cool, especially in the evenings.
