Extremely beautiful- and a great audio guide - The Church of St Nicholas, Valencia, is known as the Valencian Sistine Chapel, but I much preferred it to the one in the Vatican, because I didn’t have to queue for an hour and then fight a thousand tourists for space. The interior is stunning, the audio guide was- remarkably, as I don’t often say this- very good indeed, and the staff were rather lovely, particularly the lady looking after said audio guides. It’s very easy to miss the entrance to the church, but worth searching out.

A must to visit if in Valencia - It was a great experience and the audio guide worked really well. January was a great time to visit since not many people and you could really enjoy this amazing place. Just remember that the church is not open on Mondays for tourists.

Extraordinary temple, example of gothic architecture with baroque decoration - Absolutely incredible church, founded in the 13th century by Dominicans, and they consecrated the temple to Saint Nicholas. In the 15th century it was extended in a Gothic temple with central aisle. Towards the end of the 17th century they started a baroque renovation. This temple is a perfect example of the coexistence of gothic architecture and baroque decoration. Absolutely the must place to visit in Valencia.

Not to be missed - The church of St. Nicholas leaves you breathless. His frescoes on the vault are unimaginable. The entrance ticket includes an audio guide that allows you to enjoy the show.

Super nice church. - This small church has super beautiful wall and ceiling paintings. It is rightly called the Sistine Chapel of Valencia. If you only want to visit a church in Valencia then.it has to be this one.

Definitely dear! - The €11 ticket is too expensive compared to what it offers, compared to all the other churches and attractions in the city. Beautiful eh for goodness sake but you can not pay 11€ per person

Recommended, expensive and entertaining staff - We had never been able to see it since it was long in restoration and now we have finally been able to enter. It is a beautiful church of Gothic architecture and Baroque decoration. His frescoes and some paintings and sculptures are striking. I recommend the visit but I must say that the price of admission seems an exaggeration, it is worth the same as entering the Prado Museum, I suppose they take advantage (I do not know who owns it and where the money raised will end up) of the fame it has, the queues to enter are considerable so the collection will also be. Good audio guide that comes with the visit. To say that I read in other comments that the attention of the employees is manifestly improving, I will tell what happened to us because it is the first time that it has happened to me and it has been funny. To say that we are a marriage that is on its way to sixty years and that we have the image, of clothes and appearance, that they have any similar marriage that is on vacation. To get to the entrance you must walk about ten meters from the street to the church and when you enter wines that in the background was an employee attending to two women, ends and without more words he releases us "it is not free, it is paid", as it is, I am funny, smile and say calm man that we will not sneak or peep and run quickly without paying, in short, it was six in the afternoon and I do not know since what time he is working, but if that tells all those who want to visit maybe one answers him as impertinently as he has done or even being more cretinous. The paintings of Vicente Macip, Juan de Juanes and Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina and sculptures of Francisco Salzillo and Vicente López stand out. I would have rated it a four but thanks to the referral I put a three
