Hotels in Palma: Old Town, Coast and Culture in Mallorca

Palma brings together the city, island context and coast in a distinctive way. The city is Mallorca’s most important city and the capital of the Balearic Islands. At the same time, Palma is located on Mallorca’s southern coast on the Bay of Palma. In the context of the island of Mallorca, Palma serves as an urban base; the coastal area is shaped by the bay and the Mediterranean coast. Thus, urban structures and the location by the sea meet directly in Palma.

City and Coast

Palma’s character includes historic buildings and spectacular beaches, which are among the city’s notable places and attractions. Palma is also an urban, cosmopolitan destination. Galleries, museums and events are part of its visitor offering and broaden the view of the city beyond its coastal setting. The local gastronomy also has several facets: It ranges from traditional recipes to contemporary cuisine. In Palma, built heritage, cultural offerings, culinary tradition and modern cuisine therefore exist side by side. Consequently, the city can be explored through different, clearly identifiable aspects, without any one of them defining its entire character.

Culture and History

Palma’s Old Town is particularly distinctive. It is considered one of the largest and best-preserved old towns in Europe. Palma’s architectural and historical heritage combines Roman, Moorish and Christian influences. A defining symbol of the city is the Cathedral of Mallorca. La Seu is a Gothic cathedral located on the seafront beside the city walls. These named buildings and historical layers demonstrate the connection between the city’s history, architecture and its location by the water.
