Overview

Palma is the effortlessly cool, grown-up sister of the Balearics. This is a city that has it all. It’s dominated by La Seu, the massive, 14th-century, golden-sandstone, Gothic cathedral that watches over the harbor—a jaw-dropping masterpiece with interior details by Gaudi. Just below it lies the Almudaina Palace, a Moorish fort-turned-royal-palace. The city's old town is a chic, charming, maze of narrow, cobblestone streets, hidden courtyards, and high-end boutiques. When youre ready to relax, the city's long, palm-lined promenade leads to trendy beach clubs and sandy shores. This is a city of pure, sun-drenched, Spanish style.

Top Sights

  • Castell de Bellver
Unique circular Gothic castle on a hill offering panoramic views over Palma Bay and the. city. The distinctive architecture and elevated position make this worthwhile.
  • Mercat de lOlivar
Traditional market selling seafood, meats, produce, and prepared foods where locals shop daily. The upstairs. bars serve market-fresh tapas and local wine. It's worth your time.
  • La Seu Cathedral
Gothic cathedral rising from the waterfront with the world's tallest nave and rose window. Gaudi. worked on renovations, and the scale and light inside genuinely impress.
