Places of Interest
The Avenida de la Regne is worth a walk down with its many trees and impressive buildings.
The Palau de la Musica, the city´s opera house, is just across the Túria gardens.
Shops and Facilities
Russafa has all the usual shops plus a traditional indoor market. There are plenty of cheap ´chinos´ as they are known here where you can buy almost anything for next to nothing.
Parks and Children
There are no parks or play areas in the Russafa area itself, however the Túrai gardens are on the doorstep and Gulliver´s play park, a large sculpture of Gulliver composed of slides, bridges etc, is just a short walk down the old river bed.
