Metro
From anywhere in L'Eixample, locate the nearest Metro station, which is likely 'Xàtiva' or 'Bailén'. Take Line 3 (Red Line) or Line 5 (Green Line) in the direction of 'Aeroport' or 'Marítim - Serreria'. You will need to transfer at 'Àngel Guimerà' station. Here, switch to Line 1 (Yellow Line) towards 'Bétera'. After a few stops, get off at 'Marítim - Serreria' station. From there, it's about a 15-minute walk to Oceanogràfic.
Bus
Find the nearest bus stop (look for signs indicating 'Parada de Autobús'). Take bus line 35, which directly connects L'Eixample to Oceanogràfic. The journey takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to check the bus schedule and have your ticket ready (cost is typically around €1.50). Get off at the stop 'Oceanogràfic', which is located right outside the aquarium entrance.
Walking
If you prefer to walk, head towards the Turia Gardens, which is a beautiful park that runs through Valencia. Enter the gardens from L'Eixample and walk westward. Follow the path through the gardens until you reach the 'Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències' area. Oceanogràfic is located right next to this landmark. The walk will take approximately 30-40 minutes, but it is very scenic.
Bicycle
Valencia is bike-friendly, and you can rent a bicycle from various rental spots in L'Eixample. Follow the bike lanes towards the Turia Gardens, and then head towards the 'Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències'. Oceanogràfic is just a short ride away from the gardens.
