Fun places to visit in the city of Palma de Mallorca

Here you will find some activities to help you keep your little ones entertained for a few hours with all the beautiful spots and landmarks within the city of Palma de Mallorca!

Catedral de Santa María (Saint Maria’s Cathedral)

Enjoy a nice stroll alongside Palma de Mallorca’s promenade while enjoying the beautiful view of Saint Maria’s Cathedral, probably the most representative building of the island’s capital.

Palacio Real de la Almudaina (Almudaina’s Royal Palace)

Right next to the Cathedral, there’s this architectural beauty and part of the Royal family’s residencies. It looks as though they were the same building, creating a nice synergy and incredible landscape.

S’Hort del Rei

The name itself means “King’s grove” as it’s part of the Almudaina’s Royal Palace, located right at its feet. It’s an important part of Palma’s history and a wonderful place to visit as a family, enjoying the beautiful gardens and its green scenery.

Centro Histórico & Baños árabes

Spend some time wondering around Palma’s historic neighbourhood! In Spain, thanks to its long history, there’s always this part of the city where you can feel its past and appreciate the decades that have gone by through its streets. Don’t miss out on visiting the Arabic bathrooms, part of the Islamic history of Spain and Mallorca.
