Things to Do in Mallorca

La Seu is Palma's iconic Gothic cathedral, majestically rising by the Mediterranean Sea. Built over 400 years starting in the 13th century, it features one of the world's largest rose windows and interior touches by Antoni Gaudí and contemporary artist Miquel Barceló. The morning light streaming through the stained glass creates a magical atmosphere that makes this a must-visit landmark.

This UNESCO World Heritage mountain range stretches along Mallorca's northwest coast, offering breathtaking landscapes of dramatic cliffs, olive groves, and charming stone villages. Home to hiking trails ranging from easy walks to challenging treks up Puig de Massanella, it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Don't miss the picturesque villages of Valldemossa, Deià, and Sóller.

Perched on a pine-covered hill overlooking Palma Bay, Bellver Castle is a unique 14th-century Gothic fortress and one of the only circular castles in Europe. The panoramic 360-degree views of the city, mountains, and sea are spectacular. The castle houses a museum with artifacts from Roman, Arab, and Spanish periods, and entry is free on Sundays.

This authentic local market in the heart of Santa Catalina neighborhood is the place to experience Mallorca's food culture. Fresh produce, local cheeses, Sobrassada sausage, and excellent tapas bars make it a foodie paradise. Unlike tourist markets, Santa Catalina remains a genuine community hub where locals shop and socialize over morning coffee.

Step back in time aboard this historic wooden narrow-gauge train that has connected Palma to Sóller since 1912. The scenic journey through the Serra de Tramuntana mountains passes through 13 tunnels and over viaducts, offering spectacular views. Continue on the vintage tram to Port de Sóller for a complete nostalgic experience and fresh seafood by the harbor.

Located near Porto Cristo on Mallorca's east coast, the Drach Caves are a spectacular underground world of stalactites and stalagmites. The highlight is Lake Martel, one of the world's largest underground lakes, where visitors enjoy a unique classical music concert performed from boats gliding across the illuminated waters.

Often called the Caribbean of Mallorca, Es Trenc is a stunning stretch of white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters on the southern coast. Part of a protected natural area with sand dunes and salt lagoons, it offers an unspoiled beach experience. The nearby salt flats produce some of the best sea salt in the Balearics.

Adjacent to La Seu Cathedral, this imposing palace blends Gothic and Moorish architecture from its origins as a 10th-century Muslim fortress. Later transformed into a royal residence by the Crown of Aragon, it still serves as an official residence for the Spanish Royal Family. The museum showcases grand halls, period furnishings, and stunning harbor views.
