Overview

Discover the beauty, history, and Mediterranean charm of Palma on this private shore excursion, designed especially for cruise guests. Your official licensed guide will meet you inside the cruise terminal, no searching around the port or long walks required. Just look for the friendly face holding your group's sign, and your adventure begins.

Your first stop is the magnificent Castell de Bellver, one of Europe's few perfectly circular Gothic castles. Perched high above the city, this 700-year-old fortress rewards visitors with spectacular panoramic views over Palma Bay. Bring your camera, because the scenery is unforgettable. Please note that all museums in Palma, including Bellver Castle, are closed on Mondays. On Monday tours, the castle interior cannot be visited, but the scenic photo stop is always included.

Continue with a relaxing drive along Palma's picturesque Passeig Marítim, where elegant yachts, sparkling Mediterranean waters, and palm-lined promenades create the perfect coastal backdrop.

Back in the historic center, admire Sa Llotja, Palma's impressive Gothic merchant exchange, once the heart of the city's commercial life and now admired for its remarkable architecture and cultural exhibitions.

A short walk brings you to Parc de la Mar, where the shimmering lake beautifully reflects Palma's iconic cathedral, creating one of the city's most photographed views. Nearby, stroll through S'Hort del Rei, the former royal gardens beneath the Almudaina Palace, where fountains, shaded pathways, and lush greenery offer a peaceful escape.

The highlight of the tour is a guided visit inside the magnificent Cathedral of Mallorca, affectionately known as La Seu. Marvel at its soaring columns, extraordinary stained-glass windows, and remarkable Gothic architecture while your guide shares the fascinating stories, history, and hidden details that bring this extraordinary landmark to life.

Your guided walking tour concludes at Plaça de Cort, after which you'll have free time to experience Palma at your own pace. Wander through the charming cobbled streets of the Old Town, browse local boutiques, relax at a café, or sample Mallorca's famous ensaimadas while soaking up the city's authentic atmosphere.

Before returning to the ship, enjoy a final stroll along Passeig del Born, Palma's elegant boulevard, lined with beautiful historic buildings, stylish shops, and lively cafés. It's the perfect place for a few last photos and a memorable farewell to the island.

At the end of your tour, you'll return comfortably to Palma Cruise Port with plenty of time before your ship's departure, taking home unforgettable memories, beautiful photographs, and a wonderful introduction to the capital of Mallorca.
