Valença has preserved a number of colonial buildings, including the Paço Municipal and the church of the Sagrado Coração de Jesus (Sacred Heart), which both date from 1801.

Within easy reach are the beaches of Guaibibzinho, Taquari and Ponta do Curral (20km/12.5mi). The main attractions of Valença, however, are the islands in the surrounding area with their beautiful unspoiled beaches and some of the oldest townships in Brazil.
