Didn't use the skip the line ticket as we went on Sunday and it was free. Sadly, we were so disappointed and glad we hadn't paid! There are some very large old rooms but that was it. Nothing in them so our visit took about ten minutes. Suggest you give it a miss.

Visited Valencia’s silk museum in August 2023. The museum displayed beautiful silk clothing. It also featured information in printed form and via audio guide on Valencia’s Silk Road history.

Lovely experience and very informative. However, my tip would be to take ear phones as you are able to scan a QR code to be able to download a audio guide for the museum which would be a lot easier than having to read everything.

Disappointing, we paid for a tour with audio guide, which was using a QR code on the phone. However the wifi doesn't work in the basement rooms, so were not able to access the guide for most of the exhibits

We got entry to this church as part of a 3 part ticket with teh silk museum - it is worth a visit - a fantastice space with the most amazing ceiling I have ever seen. There are audio guides included but teh Spanish have odd ideas about what visitors are interested in - a lot of nonsense about the saints and pictures that I skipped over - I was more interetsted in the place itslef and you get a bit of that - but not nearly enough

We were unaware that the museum would close early on Sunday. We arrived a few minutes too late and were unable to do the tour. Very disappointed.

Those who like to walk around in museums to learn some history will like it.
It's small, with audio guide, describing the growth and disaster of silk industry in Valencia

I thought why not visit the museum as most reviews are positive even though I'm not that interested in silk. I'm glad I did. The history of silk in Europe is interesting. I learned that Valencia and Venice colluded in the 15 century to control silk and velvet production for Europe. The exhibits explaining the role of silk and its' importance were interesting. There are lots of clothing displays and other artifacts.

For some reason it is not very crowded and the entry price gave us free entry to St Nicolas church as well, so good value.
The audio guide is excellent and tells you a lot of the history of silk and silk making.
You finish the tour in the shop and also in the workshop where you see a loom working with silk.
If you want to understand silk making in Valencia and jpq or was controlled and developed, this is an excellent start.
The building itself is really nice, its floors made of amazing tiles, some of which you can only walk on using the shoe coverings they give you.
Don't bother with the restaurant in my view.

Beautiful chapel with impressive wall and ceiling paintings. We were amazed!
The (free) audio tour is great, everything is told and explained clearly and with an occasional touch of humor.
For us, the visit to this chapel was definitely a highlight during our stay in Valencia.
