Vibrant and cosmopolitan, Majorcan capital Palma has it all - stunning architecture, endless shopping, varied nightlife and a sweeping stretch of coastline at nearby Calvia.
Cultural Palma has a fascinating history, including a Gothic cathedral dating back to the 13th century. Don't miss Palma's Almudaina Palace, originally built as an Arab fortress, and Palma's History Museum located within the walls of the 14th century Bellver Castle. Wind your way through Palma's cobbled back streets and encounter wide, modern boulevards - ancient meets contemporary in cosmopolitan Palma, providing a delightful blend of culture, history and modern amenities.
Palma offers modern shopping malls, high-street shops and charming boutiques, perfect for die-hard shoppers, while Palma's numerous pavement cafes provide a welcome break in-between the city's magnificent sights. Wander down the famous tree-lined Passeig des Born at the heart of Palma's historical centre, bordered by ancient narrow lanes and elegant palaces, or visit the sophisticated shops of the elegant Avenida Jaume III, one of Palma's best-known avenues.
There is more to Palma than architecture and shopping. Palma offers a fantastic range of bars and nightclubs, although the liveliest nightlife is to be found at nearby Magaluf. Palma's nightlife offers everything from a quiet drink to all-night partying - whatever suits you, Palma has a variety of venues to suit virtually any taste.
