Best time to go to Valencia City

Be prepared for hot and humid weather on visits to Valencia during its warmest months – the thermometer often tips over the mid-twenties during July and August. Summer’s shoulder months are still warm, with temperatures resting around the 20°C mark. Come winter, things dip down to the mid-teens during the daytime, and sometimes into single figures once the sun’s set.

Passports & Visas

Irish citizens don’t need a visa to enter Spain but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit https://www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/a-z-list-of-countries/spain/

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Spanish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
