Cost of living in Valencia

A student going to a language school in Valencia should budget about 694 € per month for living expenses excluding rent, although everything depends on your lifestyle — this is how much, according to Numbeo, the average single resident spends.

The most significant budget item is housing: a one-bedroom apartment outside the centre costs on average 784 €, and in the centre — 1037 €; however, by renting a room in a shared apartment, most students reduce this amount to 400–500 €. This refers to long-term rentals, but remember that every language school offers accommodation options.

Getting around the city is inexpensive: a single bus ticket costs 1.50 €, and an unlimited monthly pass is 29 €, convenient for trips between campus, the beach and the centre.

Lunch in an inexpensive café costs about 14 €, dinner for two in a mid-range restaurant — about 50 €, but when cooking at home, a kilogram of chicken fillet costs only 6.20 €, and a litre of milk — 0.91 €.

Utilities for an 85 m² apartment average 124 €, and unlimited internet — another 26 € per month.

Moderate sums are needed for sports and leisure: a gym membership — about 36 €, a cinema ticket — 8.50 €.

In total, a student sharing accommodation and cooking at home spends about 1150–1300 € per month, which is noticeably cheaper than life in Barcelona, where a comparable level of expenses would require roughly 1000 € more.

Thus, Valencia combines affordable prices with a mild climate and a Mediterranean lifestyle, allowing students to focus on language rather than bills.

Culture, attractions and nature

Valencia combines the Gothic Lonja de la Seda and the Serranos Towers with the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, and in the dried-up Turia riverbed a 9-kilometre park for sports and concerts stretches out. Every spring the city blazes with Las Fallas: giant figures are burned amid fireworks and parades. Beaches Malvarrosa and Patacona are 15 minutes away by tram, and in the evening — the tapas bars of Ruzafa and the largest aquarium in Europe, L’Oceanogràfic.

At the same time do not forget that Valencia is the birthplace of paella, so where else but in Valencia should you taste Spain’s iconic dish. It is believed that paella was first cooked in Albufera.

Albufera — pure nature and gastronomy — is another place every foreign student in Valencia simply must visit. It is only 10 km from the city: pristine nature, fabulous sunsets, boat rides and complete relaxation. A city oasis surrounded by rice fields and forest — that is the Albufera nature park.

Try traditional dishes in the village of El Palmar. Discover all the waterfowl and vegetation on the largest lake in Spain. All this and much more is offered by Valencia, which is why this Spanish city is such a popular destination for study and learning Spanish.

Safety in Valencia

Numbeo assigns Valencia a Crime Index of about 34 and a Safety Index of about 66, classifying the city as “generally safe.” Violent crimes and threats to life are rated “low,” whereas pickpocketing is “moderate,” especially in tourist areas of the centre and on public transport at rush hour. Pickpocketing is typical for popular tourist destinations, so caution is advised. During the day almost 85 % of respondents feel calm on the streets, but after midnight this drops to 60 %, hence it is recommended to use taxis and avoid deserted alleys. Overall, Valencia is considered safer than Barcelona and Madrid, requiring only standard precautions.

Is it worth going?

Valencia offers students a mild climate, cultural richness, affordable prices for language courses and high-quality Spanish schools. Immerse yourself in the Spanish language and Valencian life — this city is easy to fall in love with at first sight and forever.
