Bellver Castle Park
Description
Bellver Castle Park is a sweeping woodland park surrounding the circular Bellver Castle in Palma, bringing together walking trails, picnic spots, and panoramic views across the city.
Forest, Castle, and Far-Reaching Views
The park wraps around Bellver Castle, which sits on a hill 112.6 metres above sea level. From the top, you're treated to a sweeping panorama across Palma, the harbour, and the Bay of Palma. The castle itself is the park's most striking feature — its circular layout sets it apart from virtually every other fortification you're likely to have visited. The route up involves long flights of steps and undulating paths, so sturdy footwear is strongly recommended.
Nature and Relaxation in the Pine Woods
Dense pine forests cast generous shade along the walking trails, making a stroll here comfortable even on warmer days. Benches and picnic tables are dotted throughout, inviting you to stop, unwind, and eat al fresco. The grounds suit both energetic activity and a leisurely wander in equal measure — and the noise of the city fades away remarkably quickly once you're inside.
Perfect for Families
The park is well set up for families with children, with dedicated play areas and picnic zones to keep everyone happy. The toilet facilities are clean and well maintained.
Location & Getting There
The park's address is Carrer de Bellver 9, in the Ponent district, 07014 Palma. Walking up from the city centre is entirely doable, though it is a bit of a workout — good shoes are just as useful on the way there as they are once you arrive. Parking is available on site.
