Xàtiva Tourist Office

Xàtiva's Tourist Information Office is at Avenida de Selgas 2, on the Alameda, beside the Fuente del León. You can reach it on 96 227 33 46 and at [email protected], and the municipal tourism website also has an enquiry form.

Hours

Tuesday to Thursday it opens from 10:00 to 17:00, on Fridays from 10:00 to 18:00 and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 14:00. The website gives no hours for Mondays, so assume it is closed that day. In August there are days with special hours: on the 1st, the 15th and the 19th it opens only from 10:00 to 14:00.

Castle tickets

What is asked about most here is the castle. General admission costs €6 for over-16s and the reduced rate €4, for ages 8 to 16, students, pensioners, large families and groups of ten or more, among others. Up to age 7 they go in free, but all children need their ticket with QR code. The same ticket includes the Almodí Museum and the Fine Arts Museum. The town council recommends buying it online in advance, especially at weekends, and does not allow exchanges or refunds. You need to bring your national ID or passport, and the castle is not accessible for wheelchairs or buggies.

The castle is open Tuesday to Sunday: from November to February from 10:00 to 18:00, in March and October until 19:00, in April and September until 20:00 and from May to August until 21:00.

Going up without a car and parking

On Sundays and public holidays you cannot drive up to the castle in a private car, except in July and August. On those days, from October to May, the shuttle from Plaza de l'Espanyoleto runs, and in summer the tourist train. For parking, the tourism website mentions paid car parks in Plaça de la Bassa, in República Argentina and at the railway station, and two free ones: the one in Plaça de l'Espanyoleto, only on Sundays and public holidays from October to June, and the one at the volleyball pavilion, entered from the Alzira road, very close to the office.

What else to ask

Ask here for the old-town map, information on the Borgia route and the Collegiate Church, and the opening hours of the hermitage of Sant Feliu. Guided tours are not detailed on the website; ask about them at the office. If you arrive by train, see the entry for the Cercanías from València.
