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.'

    The guide was tarrible because we had to wait over half a hour for another coach we were late and he kept saying I was going to tark about that but we’re late so it was rushed the church part I’m on about. As he was going with other people to a different location and had to finish the tour quickly to get back on the coach with them at 12. So he did not give a lot of information I hade to go and read all the boards after he left with them people who was carrying on to a different location.

    Pickup was timely and coach journey was pleasant. Our guide Juan kept us updated re: the traffic jam ahead. When we arrived at Palma, we were handed over to another guide called Rafael who would deliver the tour in English. He was very engaging and knowledgeable. The tour was cut short due to the cathedral being unexpectedly busy and the group being larger than usual. We then had around 3.5hrs to explore Palma city centre, which was just the right amount of time, before heading back.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La valle degli aranci

Colline pittoresche e agrumeti aromatici descrivono Sóller al meglio. Da Palma di Maiorca, viaggia verso le montagne della Serra de Tramontana, dove scoprirai quest'area nota come "valle degli aranci".Storicamente, Sóller è sempre stata isolata dal resto di Maiorca a causa delle montagne, che hanno consentito lo sviluppo di pratiche culturali e agricole uniche. Gli aranceti di Sóller affondano le loro radici nell'antichità: furono introdotti nella regione dai coloni arabi durante l'occupazione spagnola.In un tour esclusivo, scoprirai le iniziative di conservazione della regione grazie alla guida formata da National Geographic. In una stanza dei giardini parteciperai a un'esperienza audiovisiva esclusiva con foto che illustrano la storia e l'impatto degli aranceti sull'economia locale.Poi visiterai i giardini stessi, dove apprenderai le proprietà aromatiche e agricole di diverse varietà di agrumi, godrai di una visita esclusiva alla banca dei semi e imparerai di più su come i giardini si impegnano a conservare specie vegetali, ecosistemi e habitat naturali unici delle Isole Baleari. La visita ai giardini termina con una dimostrazione di cucina e un dessert agrumato.Scoprirai quindi i segreti di Sóller in un tour guidato a piedi prima di fare una sosta da Sa Fàbrica de Gelats, menzionata in National Geographic España come una delle migliori gelaterie in cui trovare il gelato all'arancia. Il tour si conclude con un po' di tempo libero per esplorare l'area a tuo piacimento.
