Three days in Mallorca's capital. See the Gothic cathedral and royal palace on the seafront, get lost in the old town's lanes, and look over the bay from Bellver Castle. On the last day, ride the vintage wooden train over the mountains to Sóller and its harbour.

Palma questions

Is 3 days enough for Palma?

Yes. Two days covers the city's main sights, and the third leaves time for the train to Sóller or a beach.

Is the Sóller train worth it?

Yes, for the century-old wooden carriages and mountain views. It costs more than the bus, so some people take the train one way and the bus back.

Can you walk to Bellver Castle?

Yes, but it is uphill through woods and takes about 30 to 40 minutes from the centre. A taxi or city bus saves the climb.

What is Palma best known for?

Its Gothic cathedral on the seafront, a lively old town and easy trips to Mallorca's mountains and beaches.

Which days of the week work best?

Start on a Tuesday to Saturday. The cathedral closes on Sundays to visitors, and some sights close on Mondays.
