Things to do in Palma Cathedral
It’s hard to miss the Palma Cathedral – or La Seu, as the locals call it – when you’re in the island’s capital city. This 44-metre-tall temple has sat in the same hilltop, sea-view spot for over 800 years – 400 of which were spent under construction. Nowadays, its huge sandstone exterior – a mishmash of Catalan Gothic and North European architecture – is the perfect selfie backdrop. When you’re done admiring its good looks, be sure to head inside the cathedral to see its huge golden altar and stained-glass windows – the place really pops with colour when the light shines through the latter.

Palma tours with Cathedral and Valldemossa options
Take your pick from a variety of ways to visit Majorca's atmospheric capital, Palma. Explore the city at your own pace with our simple, hassle-free transport only option. Or, perhaps you would like to add a visit to the waterfront cathedral. To make the most of your day, you can pair a guided cathedral experience with a trip to the hilltop town of Valldemossa, too. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Palma Cathedral is astonishing. The apse's rose window alone contains more than 1,100 pieces of stained-glass – and was designed to align with the façade's rose window twice a year, on 2/2 and 11/11, to create the figure of 8.'How the day unfolds depends on the option you've selected. With our Palma free time ticket, you'll have a few hours to use as you choose. Shop in the city's chic boutiques and high street fashion stores, check out plazas lined with terrace cafés, or enjoy the plentiful supply of art galleries and museums. Add the sightseeing bus option if you want to roam free without the leg work.If you've opted for the Palma and Cathedral entrance ticket, you'll get a guided tour to explore this vast Gothic masterpiece. If you're after the premium option, this will include a visit to Valldemossa – an achingly pretty village strewn on a hill less than 30-minutes' drive from Palma. Hugo says, ‘Valldemossa is the essence of rural Majorca. Honey-hued stone houses with green shutters cluster around the belfry. Make sure to try the local potato cake, ‘coca', dipped in hot chocolate.'

Reviews Palma Cathedral
“Really enjoyed cathedral and would have loved to stay and look round longer”
“Too much time on the coach, too long in the cathedral, to short in Parma. Linking 3 visits in one trip was too much.”
“Cathedral tour boring. We to many facts and figures and far too long. Not enough time in Palma and nowhere near enough time in Valdamossa. Would've preferred a trip just to Valdamossa and lots more free time.”
“First of all getting back on the bus. It's not wheelchair friendly as some make it out. Couldn't get in most of the shops at all. The pavements wasn't all that great. Would I visit it again I don't think so.”
