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.

Make sure to try the local potato cake, ‘coca', dipped in hot chocolate.'

Reviews Palma Cathedral
“We spent too much time collecting people from everywhere across the coast. On top of that, there was a sop at the winery, which nobody asked for.”

“Bus was 20mins late. Then when we got to Palma we had to wait around for our English tour guide. When Victoria finally turn up she then started tell the group she had come with where they should go. The cathedral was lovely then we went to the old town and had free time. Unless you know where your going it's ok if not you are walking round in circles”
“The tour included the cathedral and then a trip to valdemossa however there was too little time to see either palma or valdemossa. We didn't get to palma until 10am and by the time the cathedral tour started it was 11.15. We had to leave for valdemossa at 12.50 so couldn't see palma at all. Valdemossa we only got 1.5h in which isn't much when you have to go eat and that takes ages for service. We were on the coach for around 4h of the day. Disappointed.”
