El Micalet translates to Little Michael costs 2 euro to access. We had to queue for about 10 minutes as they allow a certain number of people up on the tower at any given time.
They have a traffic light system on the stairs as they are steep and narrow, there isn't enough space for people to pass.
It's not an easy climb in the heat.
It is one of the highest points in the city, and the views are amazing, well worth the effort and the 2 euro.

This is a very popular site seeing of the city. the way up is not easy as it has 207 steps, but once you get up, there it will be worth it to see the view of Valencia. tickets for the tower are separate from the church.

Great way to get a panoramic view of the city! Affordable price and great arrangement to access the top floor. The climb it’s around 200’steps on a narrow steep spiral staircase which can be trying. It is done by slots of 20 minutes so you can climb comfortably, take your time at the top and go down after the announcement is done so you don’t bump with people on your way up/down. I found that very smart, convenient and safe :)

Very impressive cathedral and great fun to climb, offering 360 degree views of Valencia. We paid €2.50 (cash only) to enter and waited 15 minutes to enter as they operate a one way system to go up and down the tower.

Note: be sure to queue for the door on the left at the entrance to the cathedral, as the door on the right is to enter the main cathedral hall.

207 steps for a wonderful view.
Long times due to the traffic light for descending.

Climb the stairs and enjoy the views over Valencia rooftops. You go up on green semaphore and you descend on green also. Up there, if you are lucky, (at every exact hour) you will hear the huge bell ringing. If you go late, you may catch the beautiful sunset.

You climb 207 stairs and on the top you have beautiful view of Valencia. The entrance is 2,5€ per person.

Cheap entry, incredible view of Valencia. But with 207 spiral steps, it's quite a walk, but definitely worth it.

Impressive bell tower that proves a panoramic view of the surrounding city. The tickets were bought at the base of the tower and were €2.5 per person.

The climbing is done in groups and takes about 30 minutes to climb up, enjoy the view, and climb back down.

The path to the top of the tower is a spiral staircase with 207 stairs. The highest section is narrower and more difficult to traverse. At the top, there's a 360° view of the city and stone benches.

Beautiful chapel that holds the Holy Grail... walk thru this one without a tour guide. You can get an audio guide with your admission price and that's all you need..oh and alot of time... do not rush this one... there are some Goyas, some relics, an underground vault and, yes, the holy grail...

A lovely 90 minutes was spent here, we used the audio guide system which was included in the entry fee and worked really well.

Great views from the bell tower. I have to admit we were breathing heavy and moving slow by the time we reached the top. But the view was great and we cooled off in the shade at the top. We spent about 20 minutes at the top. Bring a map with photos of monuments so that you can pick them out from above the city!!

Only €2.50 to go to the top.

207 steps up with a handrail, it does get narrow towards the top.

Great red and green light system to avoid crossing on the steps.

The Miguelete is one of the most iconic landmarks in all of Valéncia, you will have to climb 208 stairs to reach the top, but the view is worth it.
From the top you can see the City of Arts and Sciences poking out of nowhere, with skyscrapers on its left.
You can also see the Plaza Redonda.

Worth the effort to climb all the steps, to get such spectacular panoramic views of the city.

Beutiful view of Valencia (once you climb the 207 steps!)

207 steps to the top of the tower. Worth every effort. The steps get narrow as you go up.

The views from the top are amazing.

Remember to carry a bottle of water.

The signal lights will indicate if people were going up or down.

Btw, how did they manage to bring that big bell to the top of the tower?

The hard walk up the stairs is worth it for the gorgeous views!!

It is 207(ish?) steps to the top in a fairly winding, narrow stair case. YES your legs will burn. YES you’ll feel a little nauseated. But YES it is worth it! The view from the top is pretty great, and there’s plenty of space to sit to let your legs rest after the hike up. ALSO yes- you have to walk back down said spiral stair case.
