Palma de Mallorca Guided Tour with Hotel Pick up
About this activity
Explore Palma's layered history in a half-day mix of coach and walking tour, from Bellver Castle's commanding viewpoint to the Gothic cathedral and bustling old town. This guided experience balances panoramic vistas with street-level discovery, hitting the city's architectural and cultural anchors without exhausting pace.
Discover with us the Capital of the Island on a walking tour and by coach. We start the tour by making a brief stop at Bellver Castle to enjoy an excellent panoramic view of the city of Palma. We will continue our tour through the center of Palma and visit the Parque del Mar and the legendary wall that defended the city.
We´ll continue with the exterior visit of La Seu, the Cathedral of Palma and we will discover all the history that its walls keep, optionally we can visit the interior. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument by UNESCO.
By last, We´ll make a small tour through the streets of the old town, with a variety of architectural styles thanks to the different cultures that inhabited the island, Calle San Miguel, Plaza Mayor, and municipal markets, especially the Mercado del Olivar, the largest in the island. The market combines the best of the gastronomic tradition with a wide national and international culinary offer. Come and discover a city full of history and life.

Insider tips
- ★The market is best visited mid-morning when vendors are fully stocked and energy is highest; arrive early if you want to buy fresh produce or tapas.
- ★Bring water and comfortable walking shoes; the old town streets are narrow, uneven, and can get crowded.
- ★The cathedral's interior visit is optional—budget an extra 30–45 minutes if you choose it, and note that modest dress (covered shoulders/knees) is expected.
