In some stations, several lines share the same dock. So you have to look at the display before you get to your subway. Note that the blue line is probably the most convenient. It provides quick access to both the Congress Palace and the beaches.

The most comfortable: the bus

Another way to get around in Valencia: the bus. Tickets buy directly from the bus driver. 1,50€ will allow you to be in regulation in this public transport.
