City in Spain

Palma de Mallorca

4 things to see

Palma de Mallorca’s Gothic cathedral, free-to-explore old town, and seafront promenade show a city far more sophisticated than its package-holiday reputation suggests. Wandering the lanes around La Seu and along the waterfront costs nothing, and budget flights make it one of the cheapest Mediterranean getaways to reach. Ibiza Town on neighboring Ibiza is the obvious next Balearic stop. Coming in spring or autumn means cheaper rooms and a calmer old town than the packed summer months.

Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma

One of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Europe, towering over the harbour with a Gaudi-redesigned interior. Free to view from outside, and the exterior and seaside setting are the real draw.

Church · Palma de Mallorca

Old Town Palma

A maze of narrow medieval lanes, hidden courtyards, and aristocratic townhouses with signature Mallorcan patios. Completely free to wander and one of the best-preserved old quarters in the Mediterranean.
