What to expect

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 visit to the waterfront cathedral. To make the most of your day, you can pair a guided 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. Add the sightseeing bus option if you want to roam free without the leg work.

If you've opted for the Palma and Cathedral entrance ticket, you'll get a guided tour to explore this vast Gothic masterpiece. If you're after the premium option, this will include 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.'

    Catalina was a brilliant guide. Knowledgeable, personable & funny 10/10 her cathedral tour was great. The description isays Tour of the old town. But we were just taken to the centre with the old olive tree & that was it. I expected another tour so I think that is misleading. She pointed which direction of the market etc but no ‘tour’ It might be worth putting on the ticket to cover your shoulders when you go to the cathedral as I missed that in the small print & had to buy a t-shirt.

    This excursion was miss sold. I expected a guided tour of the cathedral and Valdamossa. But I ended up paying for admission to the cathedral and did not go to Valdamossa, so £74 is very expensive for a trip to Palma. I could have taken a public bus cheaper

    Guide was very informative and friendly. Too many hotel pick ups on route added to the travel
