Palma by Land and Sea with Free Time, Boat Cruise and Bus Tour

See the best of Palma in two ways – by land and sea. You'll hit the streets with free time in the bustling capital, grab iconic coastal views from the vantage point of a boat, and discover more about the city on a guided bus tour. Xisco, one of our local guides, says, 'La Seu, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Palma. This majestic Gothic cathedral sits on the site of a former mosque and is situated on the shores of the Med, overlooking the bay. It's well worth a visit during your time in the city'.We'll drop you into the heart of Palma early for around two hours of free time. Grab a coffee at one of the many dinky cafés and bars, browse the shops for souvenirs to take home, or wander through the charming streets lined with historic buildings. After, you'll hop aboard a boat for a cruise along Palma Bay. Soak in the stunning coastal views and feel the gentle sea breeze as you drift along the sparkling waters – you'll need your camera for this one.Back on dry land, your journey continues with a guided city tour from the comfort of a bus, heading towards the magnificent Bellver Castle. En route, enjoy insightful commentary about Palma's rich history and cultural heritage. Upon arrival at Bellver Castle, there'll be a quick photostop to capture the panoramic views of the city and the bay. The castle's unique circular design and elevated position offer a spectacular vantage point.

Palma Tours with Cathedral and Valldemossa Options

Take your pick from a variety of ways to visit Majorca's atmospheric capital, Palma. Explore the city at your own pace with our simple, hassle-free transport only option. Or, perhaps you would like to add a guided visit to the waterfront cathedral. To make the most of your day, you can pair your cathedral experience with a trip to the hilltop town of Valldemossa, too. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Palma Cathedral is astonishing. The apse's rose window alone contains more than 1,100 pieces of stained-glass – and was designed to align with the façade's rose window twice a year, on 2/2 and 11/11, to create the figure of 8.'How the day unfolds depends on the option you've selected. With our Palma Free Time ticket, you'll have a few hours to use as you choose. Shop in the city's chic boutiques and high street fashion stores, check out plazas lined with terrace cafés, or enjoy the plentiful supply of art galleries and museums. If you've opted for the Palma and Cathedral ticket, you'll get a guided tour of this vast Gothic masterpiece. And with the third option, you'll get entry to the cathedral, plus a visit to Valldemossa – an achingly pretty village strewn on a hill less than 30-minutes' drive from Palma. Hugo says, ‘Valldemossa is the essence of rural Majorca. Honey-hued stone houses with green shutters cluster around the belfry. Make sure to try the local potato cake, ‘coca', dipped in hot chocolate.'

Palma by Night with Optional Guided Tour or Dinner

By day Palma is a medieval wonderland, by night it's a radiant hive of activity. You'll be taken to Majorca's elegant capital for an evening away from your resort. Browse designer stores, dine in trendy Santa Catalina or stroll on the city walls under the Gothic cathedral. Xisco, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘La Llotja is a 600-year-old medieval exchange. It's free to visit and you can follow its twisting Gothic columns as they wind their way to the ceiling. You can also spot a ‘spy box', where spotters would look down on the crowd to see if anyone was stealing.'Arriving Palma in the early evening, you'll have about five hours to spend in the capital. You can choose to have the evening to yourselves with five hours of free time to wander at your own pace and perhaps find a place to enjoy a meal. Alternatively, you could opt to join a guided tour of the historic city to get some local insight as you weave through the amospheric streets for around 90 minutes. If you decide to book the dinner option, you'll dine in the Cellar sa Premsa restaurant at 8pm.Most shops are open late so you can visit the boutiques and high street stores around the tree-lined boulevard of Passeig d'es Born, or browse for souvenirs near the cathedral, which glows in after-dark floodlighting. Palma is a city which stays up late, and many cultural attractions such as La Llotja and Es Baluard Modern Art Museum stay open until 8 or 9pm, so you can sightsee even on an evening visit.
