Majorca’s vivacious capital is one of the best spots on the island for culture and cuisine. A bit of a nightlife and entertainment hotspot, Palma offers up chic restaurants and laid-back wine bars, particularly around the pretty waterfront. The shopping is something special, too, with big brands and little boutiques jostling for attention on its cobbled streets.
It’s not all glitz and glam, though – Palma’s history makes it a fascinating place for a spot of sightseeing. The city skyline is dominated by the towering Gothic cathedral, Palau de l’Amudaina, and the labyrinthine old town’s cutting-edge galleries and medieval streets are the perfect place to wander and people watch.
When you fancy a breather, stroll along the waterfront Passeig Maritim; it's still home to to-ing and fro-ing fishing boats and bobbing white yachts.
