Palma de Mallorca Travel Guide

Palma de Mallorca Travel Guide

Palma de Mallorca, on the Spanish Balearic islands, is a memorizing and amazing destination to visit. While you’ll never be able to see everything in just one trip, you can prepare yourself for your vacation with this travel guide.

Things to Do

Some of the attractions you’ll want to consider is the Le Seu Cathedral, the Soller (which is similar to a trolly car on tracks), the Arab Baths and the Cap de Formentor.

Top Warnings and Dangers in Palma de Mallorca

As is the case with any tourist destination, there will be unique warnings and dangers to consider. The biggest problem you’ll need to keep an eye out for is pickpockets. On crowded busses or tourist sections of town, you’ll need to practice caution to avoid having your belongings lifted.

Transportation Around Palma de Mallorca

After you arrive on the island (whether you arrived via plane or boat) you’ll need a way to get to your hotel. The best way to book a cab is to do so away from transportation hubs or tourist stops. These cabs will often cost more. No matter where you are, always request the cab to use a meter instead of quoting a price. In town there’s a trolley and you can find some buses as well. Renting a bicycle is a great way to navigate the town and to go out for a light stroll or a cup of coffee.

Tourist Traps

Palma de Mallorca is a tourist-frequented destination with visitors not only from Spain but also from the rest of the world. Accordingly, there are plenty of tourist traps and scams to avoid. Watch out for vendors on the beach who sell bracelets imported from China and charge much more than they’re worth. Also avoid the restaurants by the waterfront, some of which may a great view although you’ll pay double the price you’d see for a comparable meal a few blocks down the road.
