The city of Palma is situated on the Spanish island of Mallorca, where it is the largest city and serves as the capital of the Balearic Islands. This resort hub is a bustling commercial and cultural centre and one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. While infused with modern-city glitz and glamour, it still retains much of its old charm in its historic centre - featuring beautiful architecture, narrow streets, and hidden courtyards. Don’t miss the 14th-century Castell de Bellver showcasing classical sculptures and archaeological finds, and the massive 13th-century Santa María Cathedral, which overlooks Palma’s crescent bay. Active types will delight in the numerous opportunities for hiking, snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, biking and scuba diving. Palma’s bohemian allure, rich heritage, al fresco tapas bars, and enticing cafes and restaurants attract scores of visitors each year.
