Wouldn't work ????

Lisa_F, Feb 2026

I've used Viator a few times successfully & really enjoyed it. But I had to add a new app this time & I tried for an hour and half to get it to work and it wouldn't. Really frustrating and disappointing. I won't bother again.

Great Tour Of Palma!!

Very good and inexpensive way to tour Palma old town. Narration was generally clear, although with a bit of an accent, and it was easy to go at our own pace. GPS seemed to work well/know when we were straying off track. Good suggestions along the way, like a small out of the way restaurant that we ended up visiting after the tour (it was excellent as promised).

Palma history in a nutshell!

Reg_W, Feb 2025

If you have little time on a first visit to Palma, this is an excellent resource and interesting exploration of the historical center. I would definitely recommend. I really enjoyed the highlights by the guide. The only limitation is relocating oneself if you find yourself getting off track..An improvement would be to link somehow with GMaps

Itinerary

  • The audio tour starts at the Parc de la Mar, a charming square with a small salty lake, which faces the Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace. This square was built over the sea, in the ’60s, while Majorca witnessed a tourism boom.

  • Can Forteza Rey

    This splendorous monument, originally built in the early 1900's is one of the Art Nouveau jewels of Palma.

  • Bar Abaco

    This typical noble Majorcan house, formerly called “Can Marcel, was built in the seventeenth century. Now this historic building hosts a beautiful lounge bar with a rustic and authentic design. A perfect place to make a stop during the tour!

  • Santa Eulalia

    This church is one of the oldest churches of Majorca, built in the thirteenth century. Actually, the first kings of Majorca were crowned in Santa Eulalia Church before the Cathedral was completed in 1601. The interior is richly decorated in baroque style, and it’s free to visit.

  • Passeig Del Born

    In the past, the torrent of Sa Riera flowed through this street, and divided the city in two parts. Knights’ tournaments were organised along this torrent.

  • Placa de Cort

    This charming central square is the Mile Zero of Palma. We’ll finish the audio tour at this place, which is steeped in history.

  • Placa Major

    This beautiful square was built at the middle of the nineteenth century. Every year, it hosts the feast day of Saint Sebastian, on the 19th of January. This is the celebration of the patron saint of Palma, one of the most important of Majorca.

  • Catedral de Mallorca

    The Cathedral of Palma, also called the Cathedral of Light, or the “Seu”, is the crown jewel of the city. The construction of this beautiful gothic monument started in 1230 and was completed 371 years later, in 1601. Nowadays, it is a tremendous source of pride to the Majorcans.

  • Palau de l'Almudaina

    This Arabic king Palace, built in the tenth century, is the oldest monument of Palma. Nowadays, it is the official King Residence, where the King Philip VI receives official visitors such as Presidents from other countries. This Palace is also a museum and a Military building.

  • Sa Llotja

    This beautiful Gothic style building built in 1428 used to be the former maritime stock exchange. It is one of the jewels of Palma, open to public, and the admission is free.

  • Palma de Mallorca

    Palma is a city bursting with ancient history and modern culture. Take a walk with Sandra, a longtime resident, to find out what stories and anecdotes its streets have to tell. Starting in the majestic Parc de la Mar, you’ll trace the path of history from the ancient Talayotic culture through the Spanish Inquisition and the elegance of old Palma to end the walk in the vibrant Plaça de Cort. Along the way, you’ll explore the city’s churches, bars and gorgeous courtyards.
