And as always, this travel guide contains all my best tips to make the most of your stay.

So, what to do in Palma de Mallorca? Where to stay?

Let’s start with the best places to visit!

Visiting Palma de Mallorca: 23 Must-See Attractions

1. Palma de Mallorca Cathedral – La Seu

Let’s start this top 20 of the must-see places to visit in Palma de Mallorca with its iconic monument: the Palma Cathedral.

Also called “La Seu” in Spanish, it’s the main tourist attraction of Palma de Mallorca. And it’s easy to see why when you know that it is the largest religious building in Spain, just after the famous Seville Cathedral in Andalusia.

Its construction began in 1300 and was completed three centuries later, in 1601. Damaged by an earthquake in the 19th century and later restored, the result is an impressive facade blending the original Renaissance style with neo-Gothic elements.

Inside the cathedral, you can discover:

• A small museum housing a relic believed to contain thorns from Christ’s crown
• Magnificent stained glass windows, including the world’s largest Gothic rose window, the Oculus Maior, made up of 1,115 panes
• The baldachin designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí, notably known for designing and starting the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona
• The 18th-century grand organ
• The ceramic fresco by Mallorcan artist Miquel Barcelo, located in the Chapel of San Pedro.

The cathedral is open every day except Sunday.

2. Royal Palace of La Almudaina

The other must-see visit in Palma de Mallorca is the Royal Palace of La Almudaina. Located right next to the cathedral, you won’t have any difficulty in finding it, especially because it is equally awe-inspiring.

Originally a muslim fortress, the building was converted in the 13th century to serve as the residence of the King of Mallorca. Nowadays, it is only very rarely used by the Spanish royal family for some official ceremonies.

During your visit, you’ll get to explore the Queen’s Room, the Great Hall, the courtyard, the Royal Apartments, and the small chapel of Santa Anna. Although the palace is impeccably maintained, I personally found the interior a bit bare (some rooms are quite empty).

It is open every day except Monday.

As everyone who visits the cathedral then goes to the palace (or vice versa), I also recommend buying your skip-the-line ticket in advance to avoid waiting in line. Just click on the button below:

3. Parc de la Mar

Another must-see attraction in Palma de Mallorca is the Parc de la Mar.

It’s simply the best place to go for a walk in Palma de Mallorca to enjoy a splendid view of the cathedral and the royal palace. All the photos you see of these two monuments are taken from there.

The park runs along the edge of Palma’s old town and the seafront, and features a stunning artificial lake that adds to its charm.

4. The Mercat de l’Olivar

The Mercat de l’Olivar is the main market to visit in Palma de Mallorca if you want to stock up on great local products. A sign of quality: I noticed that many locals come here to shop.

You’ll find plenty of fruit and vegetable stalls, fish, cured meats, and all kinds of cheeses.

It’s colorful, well-presented, and makes you want to taste everything! I particularly recommend the sobrasada, a spicy pork sausage typical of the Balearic Islands, which you must try during your trip to Palma de Mallorca.

Practical info: the market is open every day from 7 am to 3 pm but closed on Sundays. Go in the morning for more choices.

5. Best boat excursions in Palma de Mallorca

If there’s only one activity you absolutely must go for during your stay in Palma de Mallorca, it’s a boat excursion.

Whether you choose a catamaran, sailboat, or speedboat, with swimming stops or without, lunch included or not, there’s no shortage of options for having an amazing day at sea. To help you make a decision, I’ve selected the best boat excursions in Palma.

And I’ll start with my favorite: a cruise on a beautiful modern catamaran with buffet included.

Pick either the morning trip with a swimming stop at Cala Vella or the late afternoon trip (featuring a swimming stop too) that comes with a DJ on board and lets you take in the sunset over Palma Bay.

This sea trip is also GetYourGuide Originals certified, which means that the services are really top-notch: friendly crew, delicious and plentiful buffet, enough space for everyone.

Here are other boat trips from Palma that are also really cool (click on the orange links to book):

• Morning or afternoon boat parties
• 2h30 boat party at sunset
• Boat party at night – Departure from Palma at 22h

6. The Plaça Mayor

The Plaça Mayor is an absolute must-visit spot in Palma de Mallorca.

Located in the heart of the old town, this large rectangular plaza steeped in history and tradition is full of outdoor cafes and restaurants. A quintessentially Spanish part of Palma that captures the essence of this vibrant country. It is reminiscent of Madrid‘s Plaza Mayor, with its charming arcades topped by yellow houses with green shutters. While it may not be as grandiose as its Madrid counterpart, the Plaça Mayor is still a lovely sight to behold.

The Plaça Mayor also houses an underground shopping center.

You’ll definitely pass through this square at least once during your visit to Palma. And if by some weird chance you didn’t, do so.

7. Shopping in Palma de Mallorca

Where to go in Palma de Mallorca for a bit of shopping?

It’s in the narrow streets surrounding the Plaça Mayor that you’ll find numerous small shops and classic major brands such as Sephora, Stradivarius, Foot Locker…

Make sure you don’t miss the chance to explore some of the charming streets in Palma de Mallorca, such as Carrer de Sant Miquel, Carrer del Sindicat, and Carrer del Colom.

You can also splurge in the Passeig del Born, a shaded pedestrian avenue lined with beautiful typical buildings housing some luxury shops on the ground floor. H&M and Zara are also located at the end of the avenue.

You’ll also find El Corte Inglés shopping centers near the Passeig del Born, on Avenida de Jaume III, towards Plaza Espana.

8. The Palau March – Bartolomé March Foundation

Continuing with this Palma de Mallorca guide, let’s visit the Palau March located next to the cathedral and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina.

This one-time residence of one of Mallorca’s wealthiest families now showcases an array of sculptures, featuring works by Rodin, art pieces by Salvador Dali, a collection of 14th and 15th-century maps, and an 18th-century nativity scene with over 1000 figurines.

The museum is closed on Sundays.

9. The Arab Baths (Banys Arabs)

Another must-see in Palma de Mallorca is the Arab Baths or “banys arabs” in Spanish.

Originating from the 11th century, the Arab Baths now stand as one of the scarce remnants of the Muslim occupation on the island of Mallorca.

I should let you know that the tour is rather brief, but considering the entrance fee is just €3, it’s not much of an issue. You’ll primarily encounter a beautifully preserved room featuring a dome held up by arches and columns. The place is quite photogenic.

You’ll also get to learn about the functioning of the Arab baths through a brief video presentation and informative panels in English, which explain the process of heating and distributing water throughout the rooms.

10. Must-visit museums in Palma de Mallorca

Here’s a list of museums to check out in Palma de Mallorca:

• The Juan March Foundation Museum exhibits a superb collection of 20th-century Spanish art. No need to pay a dime for the entrance, and the museum is nestled within a gorgeous 17th-century building.
• The Museum of Mallorca to discover the island’s history through a collection of objects from prehistory to the 19th century
• The Diocese Museum of Mallorca focuses on religious art
• Es Baluard, Palma’s modern and contemporary art museum, features works by international and local artists such as Miro and Picasso
• Pelaires contemporary cultural center with contemporary art exhibitions, located in the art galleries district.

11. Basilica de Sant Francesc

The St. Francis Basilica or Basilica de Sant Francesc is another popular tourist attraction in Palma.

Dating back to 1281, the basilica stands as one of Palma’s most ancient treasures. It’s a beautiful church with lovely stained-glass windows and an impressive organ, but it also has 2 unique features:

• A stunning multi-level Gothic cloister with elegant columns
• The chapel housing the tomb of Ramon Llull, a very famous writer, philosopher, and poet born in Palma. He is considered the initiator of Catalan literature.

The basilica is closed on Sundays.

In addition, there are more churches worth exploring in Palma de Mallorca:

• Santa Eulalia Church, Palma’s oldest church. You can climb to the top of the bell tower, 50 meters high, for a great view of Palma and the cathedral.
• The church of Monti-Sion, or Església de Monti Sion, worth seeing for its facade.
• The Church of Sant Miquel
• The Church of Sant Jaume
• The Church of Santa Magdalena.

12. Other plazas to discover in Palma

If you’re wondering what else to visit in Palma de Mallorca, you can stroll around the city’s various squares.

In addition to Plaça Mayor, which I already mentioned, you’ll likely come across:

• Plaça de Cort, dominated by the Ajuntament (City Hall in English). Definitely don’t miss: the iconic olive tree, more than 800 years old, standing as the square’s symbol.
• Plaza de Santa Eulalia, where you’ll find the charming Santa Eulalia Church
• Plaza de España, marking the junction between the old town and modern Palma. Boasting numerous restaurants, it’s also the central hub for public transportation, with buses, trains, and the metro arriving and departing from this lively square.

13. Bellver Castle – Castell de Bellver

In the list of places to see in Palma de Mallorca, I suggest you head to Bellver Castle.

Located on the hills to the west of the city, it’s reachable by car (free parking), by bus (though the bus drops you off at the bottom of the hill, so you’ll have to walk up for about 15 minutes) or the Hop-On Hop-Off bus that stops at several points of interest in Palma, including the castle.

To book your ticket for the Palma Hop-On Hop-Off bus, you can click the button below:

Bellver Castle features very unusual architecture, unique in Spain, as it is round in shape. Built in the 14th century, what was originally supposed to be a royal residence was actually used as a prison.

Nowadays, the castle houses a fascinating museum that tells the entire history of Palma de Mallorca in detail.

You can also access the ramparts to enjoy the panoramic view of the city and the bay. Practical info: the castle is open every day, and admission is free on Sundays.

14. Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró

Continuing our cultural sightseeing in Palma de Mallorca, let’s visit the Pilar & Joan Miro foundation.

Just like the castle, the foundation is located a few kilometers west of the old town, in the seaside resort of Cala Major.

The museum is housed in the very buildings where famous painter and sculptor Joan Miro lived and worked. You’ll find numerous paintings and even some of his sculptures displayed in the garden.

You’ll also have the chance to visit his workshop, preserved almost as it was, with some of his unfinished works still there.

The foundation is closed on Mondays.

Tickets are available online by clicking here:

15. Palma de Mallorca Aquarium

If you’re visiting Palma de Mallorca with your kids, take them to the aquarium, located east of the city, right next to the airport.

Kids can marvel at rays, sharks, and jellyfish, as well as various fish from the Mediterranean Sea and tropical waters. The visit also features entry to the mediterranean garden and the “Jungle”, an awesome area that recreates the ambience of the Amazon rainforest, complete with a waterfall.

They’ll also be able to watch a short 3D film about whales in the Aqua Dome Cinema.

I’ll mention some options below:

17. Beaches near Palma de Mallorca

Palma being a seaside town, you’ll find several beaches in its surroundings.

The closest ones to Palma aren’t necessarily the prettiest in my opinion, as they are often surrounded by buildings and not wild at all, but if you just want to cool off, they’ll do the trick.

In that case, Can Pere Antoni beach is located just past Parc de la Mar, in the Bay of Palma. To the west of Palma, you also have the beaches of: Cala Major, Illetes, Cala Illetes, and the beaches of Magaluf.

There are also 2 small, cute coves: Cala Cap Falco and Cala des Mago.

To the east of Palma, the closest beach you can find is S’Arenal beach, located past the airport. It’s lined with hotels, bars, and restaurants.

For a truly untamed experience, head to Colonia de Sant Jordi and Ses Salines, where you’ll discover gorgeous white sandy beaches nestled within pine forests, including Es Trenc, Platja Estanys, Dolç Beach, Platja Es Carbo, Platja de Ses Roquetes, and El Caragol.

If you don’t have a car, you can take advantage of a shuttle service from Palma to Es Trenc beach. Click on this link to book it!

18. Soller train – Tren de Sóller

The Soller train is a great idea for an excursion to do around Palma de Mallorca.

And it’s not just any train, as this one consists of authentic vintage wooden carriages.

The departure is from Plaza de Espana, where Palma’s train station is located.

Once you’re on board, the train will whisk you away to the charming village of Soller in approximately one hour. As you journey through the picturesque Mallorcan countryside, take in breathtaking views of the Serra de Tramontana mountains.

Once you arrive in Soller, you’ll find the church square surrounded by restaurants and quaint streets with shops. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the seaside by hopping on the historic tram that travels down to the port of Soller. It’s a great way to take in the stunning coastal scenery.

The train schedule to go to Soller from Palma can be found on the official website.

19. The Serra de Tramontana
