The perfect day in Palma

Port de Palma

The port itself is beautiful to walk around and admire the many many stunning vessels!

The port is Palma is large- however it is most common for cruise ships to dock in the south section of the port.  Most Cruise lines will offer a shuttle bus to take you into the centre of Palma, often dropping  you near the cathedral.  This guide is designed so that you do not need to book an excursion, you can explore yourself, so pop your trainers on (there is lots of walking!)  Or filing that I have listed at the bottom some cost effective tours

The first stop is the wonderful Castell de Bellver, be warned this is situated on the top of a hill so it can be a sweaty walk, however when you get to the top the views are certainly worth it!

Now as we are doing this day on foot there is alot of walking involved, so you may as well make it interesting!  My next stop was The Marina in Palma, however I chose to get there by taking in some of sections slightly further back from the port, this is so worth doing as the architecture is really lovely, there are also many moderately priced cafes and coffee shops as the ones in the centre and the marina are quite pricey
