Magnificent spectacle - A magnificent church, made even more magnificent by the spectacular play of lights that is produced at regular intervals. I recommend to inquire about the timetable so as not to miss it.

Go, even if there is no lightshow - Saint Nicholas is a beautiful church with outstanding ceiling fresco painting. However, since it is a little smaller, it does not automatically make it to the top 5 list for Valencia. The light show has made it a more famous destination. The light show partly highlights the ceiling paintings that you would not normally have been staring at for a long time. Glad we added this church.

Spectacular visit to San Nicolas and an exceptional guide: Thank you, Hector! - We visited St. Nicholas Church during the feast of St. Nicholas and enjoyed a wonderful light show. Our experience was remarkably enriched by our guide, Hector, who gave us wonderful and very forceful explanations. His way of exposing the contents was surprisingly clear and well-founded. We definitely give the guide a 10 for his excellent work!

Must Do! Educational and fantastic light show - Absolutely fantastic experience and good for all ages and both tourists and locals! Time on ticket is 10:30 where they give you an Audioguide radio and free time to explore the church stalls and learn about its history. Light show started at 11am so if you are running a little behind you won’t miss it and can finish the audio guide after. I figured the light show would just be lights moving around the ceiling but it was a full multimedia experience. Very fun! Will definitely be back in the future with my family. Only thing I want to mention is to use restroom before you go in because there’s no restroom inside the church. They did let us leave and re-enter with our ticket to go find one nearby though. Staff working was very friendly and helpful and they were decorating for Christmas. Beautiful!

Visit with audio guide and lights - The ticket price includes an audio guide explaining the interior of the church: chapel by chapel and the light show on the ceiling that is every hour. Wonderful.

Exceptional but expensive - Spectacular decor, all well explained. It's worth taking the audio guide. Of the churches with the most beautiful paintings in Spain. Entrance is not cheap, but you can be inside as long as you want. If you go into the cult to watch it for free, you have to stay the whole craft. The projection of lights is curious, but it could be accompanied by voice to explain what you see. At least there are brochures in several languages.

Beautiful church - tedious and expensive light show - Church is beautiful - but the light show is over priced, endless, overcrowded, goes on forever and has disappointingly piped music. Cut the price of tickets in half and let us visit in peace without the light show! The ceiling is beautiful and speaks for itself; it does not need projections of flowers and angels to make the experience better.
