Palma is the capital city of the Island of Majorca, and is located on the southern coast of this island in Spain, and is the island's main economic and cultural resource. Recently, it was named as one of the best places to live in Spain.

Although it has become a modern, bustling city, Palma has managed to retain its ancient culture and charm, most of which can be seen in the old town.

Palma’s old town spreads out from the cathedral and turns into a maze of narrow winding streets, surrounded by impressive mansions and tiny hidden squares.

The best way to see the old town is on foot. It can easily be seen in a day and there are plenty of quite little squares and parks where you can stop off for tapas and drinks along the way.

Some of Palma’s top attractions include; the Royal Palace; the Stock Exchange; the Castle of Bellver; and the spectacular cathedral, which is one of the world’s finest and largest Gothic structures. They’re all located near the port.

Palma has every kind of entertainment imaginable; cinemas, theatres, operas, rock concerts…there’s something here for everyone. It also has thousands of bars and some excellent restaurants, serving all kinds of food.

It’s easy to get here from any location on the island. Thousands of coaches arrive in Palma every day, bringing visitors from all over. No visit to Mallorca would be complete without at least a day trip to the capital!

Palma has become one of the most important tourist destinations in Spain. The airport handles millions of visitors each year and plays a major role in the Balearic’s tourism industry.

Over 325,000 people live in Palma. This is half the entire population of the Balearic Islands. During the busy summer months, the population can literally double!

Palma has become an incredibly popular location. It’s a delightful mixture of old and new - a beautiful city offering the best choice of hotels and restaurants along with the widest choice of entertainment and some amazing beaches.
