Visit La Seu Cathedral
Palma’s most famous landmark, La Seu Cathedral, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece overlooking the sea. Dating back to the 13th century, this architectural marvel features intricate stained-glass windows, an impressive rose window, and stunning interiors redesigned by artist Gaudí. Wander through its grand halls, admire the serene chapels, and take in views of Palma’s beautiful bay from the terrace. For history lovers and those who appreciate spectacular architecture, the cathedral is a must-see.
Explore Bellver Castle
Set on a hilltop just outside the city, Bellver Castle is a unique circular fortress offering panoramic views of Palma and the surrounding coastline. Built in the 14th century, this well-preserved Gothic castle was originally a royal residence. Today, visitors can explore its fascinating museum, wander through medieval courtyards, and climb the towers for breathtaking island vistas. Bellver Castle is a great spot for photographers to capture scenic photos from new and different angles as well as those looking for a day trip full of good adventures.
Relax at Playa de Palma
For sun-seekers, Playa de Palma is the city’s most popular beach, stretching for over 4km along the coastline. This golden-sand paradise is lined with popular bars, restaurants, and water sports centres, making it a fantastic spot for both relaxation and adventure. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, enjoy a cocktail at a beachfront bar, or try thrilling activities like paddleboarding or jet skiing.
Food & Drink
Palma is a food lover’s paradise, blending traditional Mallorcan flavours with contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Start your culinary journey at Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo, a historic café famous for its ensaimadas, the island’s beloved sweet pastry, best enjoyed with a rich hot chocolate (we know - hot chocolate in the sun- a little strange but a must try). Seafood enthusiasts will love Arrosseria Sa Cranca, known for its flavourful arroz brut, a saffron-infused rice dish brimming with fresh seafood. Palma’s vibrant tapas culture thrives in spots like Tast Club and Bar España, where you can savour pimientos de padrón, gambas al ajillo, and pan con tomate in a lively setting. Pair any meal with a glass of local Binissalem wine or finish with a refreshing hierbas liqueur, Mallorca’s signature herbal digestif.
