More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through a low-lit doorway and the floor seems to tilt beneath you; a corridor of angled mirrors doubles every figure until perception feels optional. The Museum of Illusions Valencia stages that push-and-pull on a human scale — rooms that bend perspective, a vortex tunnel that makes your stride and balance play tricks, and optical installations that beg a camera.
