Zenit Hotels Group Hotels Near Help!
The enigmatic landmark Help! is Valencia's ultimate conversation starter! Tucked away in the labyrinthine Barrio del Carmen, this could be a Beatles-themed dive bar serving horchata cocktails, or perhaps an ironic sculpture mocking tourist panic. Either way, it encapsulates the city's whimsical charm – especially when locals jokingly shout "¡Socorro!" (the Spanish equivalent) while clinking glasses of agua de Valencia. Pro tip: Visit at sunset when the orange glow mirrors the quirky energy.
