Parc de la Mar

Parc de la Mar is an open green and promenade area directly beneath Palma Cathedral / La Seu. One reviewer noted that the walking circuit around it is almost exactly 1 mile, or about 1.6 km. It also includes a lake or reflecting pool, a large fountain and open spaces for strolling.

Parc de la Mar sits directly between Palma Cathedral and the sea, right by the old town. It is in a very central position and links the cathedral area with the waterfront promenade. Several visitors also note that it is close to the port and seafront.

Access to Parc de la Mar is free, as it is a public outdoor space. Reviews do mention one nearby attraction where a visitor paid €10 to go inside. No ticket price is listed for Parc de la Mar itself.

Parc de la Mar is very central in Palma and easy to reach on foot from the cathedral and old town. One review notes that the A1 bus service between Palma and the airport runs nearby. If you come by car, there are parking options in the area.

Several visitors describe the area as flat, which makes it suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and people with mobility issues. There are wide open paths and seating areas. A children’s playground is also mentioned, making it practical for families as well.

Many visitors mention sunset as a key time to go, especially for the cathedral reflection in the water. Weekdays can be quieter; one reviewer found the area almost empty on a weekday in January. In summer it can get very hot, so morning or evening visits are more practical.

Yes, there are parking options nearby, and one review mentions parking under the area. However, a visitor reported waiting about 45 minutes for a space to become available. If you are arriving by car, it is sensible to come early, especially at weekends.

Parc de la Mar is right by the cathedral and the sea, so it fits easily into a short Palma visit. Visitors use the area for walking, sitting, photos and quick breaks. There are also benches, green areas and occasional events such as exhibitions or concerts.
