Overview

Discover the timeless charm of Peñíscola on a full-day private tour from Valencia. With private transport and a local guide, stroll medieval streets, explore centuries-old landmarks, and enjoy breathtaking sea views at a relaxed pace.

Travel north through rolling countryside to Peñíscola, a former fishing village that became the home of Pope Benedict XIII, Papa Luna. Wander cobbled streets and picture-perfect squares before exploring the dramatic castle and Papal Palace, perched above the turquoise Mediterranean. Learn about its Templar origins, Papa Luna’s papacy, and even Game of Thrones filming spots.

Enjoy a leisurely lunch by the beach or in the old town, then continue exploring charming squares, artisan shops, and the seaside promenade before returning to Valencia.
