Overview & History

Hemisfèric is the eye-shaped building that opened the City of Arts and Sciences complex, its concrete 'eyelid' shading a wide reflecting pool. Inside, a concave IMAX Dome screen shows rotating digital and planetarium sessions — each ticket is for one specific screening, chosen at the time of purchase.

What to See: Top Highlights

👁️

The 'Eye of Knowledge'

Calatrava's building is shaped like a giant human eye, with a retractable concrete louvre acting as the eyelid.

🎬

IMAX Dome Screenings

Rotating documentary and planetarium-style shows projected onto the concave dome screen — 3D glasses available at the box office.

🌊

Reflecting Pool

The building appears to float on a shallow surrounding pool, one of the most-photographed spots in the whole CAC complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hemisfèric included with the Valencia Tourist Card?
No — it is not free entry. The card gives a confirmed 10% discount when a City of Arts and Sciences ticket is bought together with the card, but Hemisfèric itself is never a free inclusion.
Can I choose any screening time with my ticket?
You choose your specific session at the time of purchase — a Hemisfèric ticket is valid for that one screening, not unlimited entry for the day.
Is there a cheaper combo with the Science Museum?
Yes — a Hemisfèric + Museu de les Ciències combo starts from €14.10 for an adult, valid across 2 consecutive days, cheaper than buying both separately.
