Valencia: Sustainable Events with a Mediterranean Feel Valencia, on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, has long established itself as an ideal stage for national and international conferences thanks to its excellent connectivity and meeting spaces. Now it is also taking the spotlight as a leader in sustainability, having just been voted European Green Capital 2024 after holding the title of European Capital of Smart Tourism in 2023. Sustainable Events Sustainability is also applied to the organisation of events. Hotels and venues have already implemented a wide range of measures to save energy, reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of events. Some, like the Valencia Conference Centre or the City of Arts and Sciences (header image) actively measure the carbon footprint of events and help organisers take the necessary steps to reduce it. Valencia is a compact destination with a virtually flat layout and a mild climate, and most venues can easily be reached on foot, by public transport, or taking advantage of its cycle network, which stretches for more than 160 kilometres throughout the city and beyond. Exploring the city centre on foot is the best way to soak up the atmosphere and admire the legacy of 2000 years of history. This is now even more enjoyable after the creation of ample pedestrianised areas such as the Plaza de la Reina by the Cathedral, or the Central Market Square. New Venues Valencia offers an amazing array of event spaces, ranging from historic buildings and traditional masías to modern conference centres and spectacular avant-garde locations like the City of Arts and Sciences, which now also comprises the new CaixaForum Valencia cultural hub. Other recent additions to this impressive portfolio include the historic Post Office building, a beautiful example of Modernist architecture now open to the public as well as for private events. And, in the outskirts of Valencia, Villa Indiano combines a traditional restaurant with a 2,500 square-metre garden for open-air events with panoramic views of orchards and the Calderona mountains.
