Transport tips from long-term expats
Things we wish someone had told us in our first week.
Get the Mobilis card on day one
Buy a rechargeable Mobilis card at any metro station for €2. Load the T1/T2/T3 monthly pass for €17.50. It works on metro, tram, and all EMT buses. This single card replaces everything.
Google Maps is accurate here
Unlike some European cities, Google Maps transit directions in Valencia are reliable and up-to-date. It shows real-time metro and bus arrivals. Use it alongside the EMT Valencia app for bus-specific info.
Avoid the metro during Fallas
During Las Fallas (March 15-19), the metro runs 24 hours but is extremely crowded. Cycling or walking is often faster during the festival. Many streets are closed to cars, making the city very pedestrian-friendly.
