Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is one of Valencia's most famous tourist attractions and makes a great day out for people of all ages. The City of Arts and Sciences is located in the dry Turia river bed in an impressive, modern building which was designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava as part of an exciting millennium project. The “city” has five main areas: the previously mentioned sea life centre – L’Oceanografic, Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia an Opera house and performing arts centre, L'Hemisferic — Imax Cinema and Planetarium, The Prince Felipe Science museum and L'Umbracle Garden. This complex is as educational as it is exciting; it brings science to life and enthrals children and science enthusiasts alike.
