Then follows the night bus service, which ends at 2 am, except for on Fridays, Saturdays and the nights before public holidays, when it continues until 3:30 am.
As well as regular day and night services, in summer and at other specific times such as during the European Grand Prix of F1 or major festivals, additional special bus services are put on.

If you are travelling on lines 3 or 5 of the metro, we suggest you stop off at La Alameda, an important example of the Valencian architecture designed by Santiago Calatrava. The station is located underneath the Exposición bridge, which is another jewel in the crown of this Valencian architect and is not to be missed.
