Located in sunny Majorca, the vibrant city of Palma is a great starting point for those looking to discover the places and people of this idyllic Spanish Island. Set alongside the picturesque Bay of Palma, this tourist friendly city with its castle, old churches and medieval buildings also boasts of a rich heritage and gives visitors a chance to experience some all important local culture as well.

Best explored by foot, Palma in Majorca is home to the stunning La Seu Cathedral which takes prominent place along the cityscape and gives one an idea of what is to be discovered. Situated near the harbour, the Almudaina Palace is another imposing monument which is not to be missed and is one that provides plenty of photo opportunities as well. Those not satisfied with casual sightseeing and wanting more than just a pretty picture can head to Palma’s many museums such as its History Museum which helps give visitors more in depth information regarding the city and its colourful past.
Even though not known as a typical coastal resort in Majorca, Palma is relatively close to the seaside towns of Cala Mayor and C’an Pastilla which are excellent spots to visit for those who just have to have a dose of surf, sand and sun when on holiday! Of course Palma itself offers its own style of outdoor fun. Activities such as sailing, diving, cycling and golf are all within easy reach of the city and provide the ideal way in which to take in Majorca’s breathtaking natural beauty and get in some exercise as
well.
Travellers looking to de-stress when on holiday can also indulge in some retail therapy which is easily available as one strolls through the city streets. One of the best shopping destinations in Majorca, Palma is well equipped with a variety of shops, boutiques and stores catering to all budgets. A walk along Passeig des Born with its fashion boutiques is a definite must for designer name conscious shoppers, while those looking to maximise their time when on holiday can get a lot of shopping done at such popular department stores as El Corte Ingles. Not to be missed is a visit to one of Palma’s markets which give visitors an ideal opportunity to not only get some great bargains, but soak up the local atmosphere as well.
Night time in Palma is by no means a lacklustre affair and when the sun goes down a whole new side of the city surfaces giving young and old alike a chance to immerse themselves in Majorca’s energetic party culture. Evenings can be spent sampling local cuisine in one of the city’s many restaurants followed by such after meal activities as trying out local tapas and getting in some bar-hopping with family and friends. Those without the energy to carry on can head back to their Palma Hotels, while revellers looking to dance till sun up can head to city’s diverse nightclubs which pound out everything from house to jazz and rock to salsa. Nightlife hotspots include Sa Llotja and the Paseo Maritimo area which is home to the well known Pacha Club. Also worth visiting for all party animals on holiday are BCM and the Garito Club.
