🌟 Top 3 Things to Do in Palma de Mallorca: Culture, Cuisine and History by the Sea



Palma isn’t just the capital of Mallorca — it’s a living museum by the sea, a city where centuries of culture, stunning architecture, and Mediterranean flavors come together. Whether you're here for a day or a week, these are the three essential experiences you shouldn’t miss.


🏰 1. Step into History at La Seu, the Cathedral of Light


Palma’s skyline is defined by the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria, known affectionately as La Seu. Perched above the sea, it’s one of Europe’s most impressive Gothic cathedrals — and stepping inside is nothing short of breathtaking.


  • Marvel at the intricate rose window, one of the largest in the world.

  • Don’t miss the modernist interventions by Antoni Gaudí and contemporary works by artist Miquel Barceló.

  • For a truly unforgettable moment, visit at sunrise or sunset when the light floods through the stained glass like liquid fire.




⛪ Tip: Book a rooftop tour to walk along the Gothic arches with views over the Bay of Palma.


🍷 2. Taste the Soul of Mallorca through Its Cuisine


Mallorca’s food is more than delicious — it’s a way of life. In Palma, traditional flavors blend with innovation and seasonal ingredients to tell the story of the island.


  • Visit the Mercat de l’Olivar for a taste of local produce, cheeses, and seafood.

  • Dine in a courtyard restaurant tucked away in the old town, where you’ll find dishes like tumbet, frito mallorquín, or sobrasada with honey.

  • And don’t miss the new wave of Michelin-starred chefs and bistrós reinventing Mallorcan classics.




🍽️ Tip: Pair your meal with a glass of local white from Binissalem or a bold red from Pla i Llevant.


🎭 3. Feel the Culture in Every Stone and Sound


Palma’s charm lies not only in what you see, but in what you feel. From its cobbled streets to its vibrant art scene, culture is woven into daily life.


  • Wander through El Borne and La Lonja, two districts filled with galleries, boutiques, and hidden patios.

  • Explore Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art, with pieces by Miró, Barceló and more, plus panoramic views.

  • Experience live music in historic patios, flamenco in a stone cellar, or a classical concert inside a church.





🎨 Tip: Ask a local guide to show you the hidden cloisters, patios, and legends behind Palma’s façades.


🌞 Conclusion: A City of Elegance and Emotion


Palma is more than a destination, it’s a mood. A place where Gothic walls meet sea breeze, where food brings stories to the table, and where every walk becomes a journey through time.


Whether you're here for a guided visit or to lose yourself in its rhythm, Palma will welcome you with light, flavor and soul.
