Local Tip
Valencia Airport's own service list shows CaixaBank and Euronet cash machines but no exchange counter. For notes over a counter, three offices sit within a short walk of each other around Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Calle San Vicente Mártir.
Where to change money in Valencia
Valencia's exchange counters are concentrated in the historic centre, on and just off the town hall square. Opening times differ from office to office, even on the same street, so check the hours below before setting out late in the day.
- Global Exchange, Calle San Vicente Mártir 20 and Plaza del Ayuntamiento 15 The San Vicente Mártir office faces the square and opens every day from 09:00 to 22:00. The office on the square itself keeps 11:00 to 22:00 from Wednesday to Friday and 09:00 to 20:00 on the other four days. Both accept Visa and Mastercard for currency purchases. A third Global Exchange office, at Calle de Bailén 2 beside Estació del Nord, suits anyone arriving by train.
- Prosegur Change, Calle San Vicente Mártir 7 Prosegur's single Valencia branch, on the same shopping street, open daily from 09:00 to 21:00. Reserving online gets a preferential, commission-free rate with nothing paid in advance; settle by card or cash on collection, bringing a passport or ID card and the confirmation email.
Changing money at the airport
At Valencia Airport (VLC, in Manises), Aena lists bank cash machines run by CaixaBank and Euronet on floors 0 and 1 of the passenger terminal and no bureau de change. Visit València's practical guide mentions currency exchange at the airport but names no operator, so rely on the cash machines and change larger sums in town. Lines 3 and 5 of the metro stop at ground level in the regional flights terminal, and Metrovalencia staffs an information point in arrivals.
ATMs and cards in Valencia
The tourist board says cash, Visa and Mastercard cards and phone payments are all accepted around the city and that cash machines are easy to find. If you plan to change a large amount at a bank, the Banco de España says you must identify yourself for cash transactions of €1,000 or more, so carry your passport. Arriving in or leaving Spain with €10,000 or more in cash requires a declaration.
Paying for transport in Valencia
Metro singles are sold only from station machines, which take credit and debit cards. Visit València lists €1.50 for one zone and €4.80 to or from the airport, plus €1.10 for a reusable cardboard card, so a first ride into town costs €5.90. Lines 3 and 5 leave the airport every 15 minutes on working days and about every 20 at weekends and holidays; the ride takes around 20 minutes.
On EMT city buses a single costs €2.00, the price since 2025; pay the driver in cash or tap a bank card on the validator. Residents can register a card for EMT's MovimEMT scheme, which charges the cheaper bonobús rate. The Valencia Tourist Card (24, 48 or 72 hours) covers metro, EMT buses, trams and local trains, including the airport run.
Good to know
