Excursions & Activities in Palma

Palma, Mallorca's capital, blends a historic old town with a sweeping bay and a lively harbour – a place where excursions and activities can be experienced in many different ways. Around the old town, with its narrow lanes and the Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca, providers range from city tours and boat trips to cultural experiences. In total, 460 listings in this category show just how broad the offering in Palma is.

Heading toward the sea, Cala Major offers calmer coves and water sports options, while Palma Aquarium draws families with its underwater worlds. Above the city stands Castell de Bellver, a round hilltop castle with views over Palma and the bay, well suited to excursions with historical flavour. The historic Train Sóller Station in Palma de Mallorca also serves as a starting point for trips into the countryside, showing how closely the city and its surroundings are linked.

The mildest months tend to be best for many outdoor activities, when temperatures and weather favour longer excursions. For popular trips, such as boat tours or seasonal events, booking ahead is worthwhile. Thanks to good public transport connections and Palma's central location, many destinations in this category can be reached comfortably without a car.
