- For all you need for your first time in Palma de Mallorca, follow this guide. If this is your first time in Palma de Mallorca, then in this video, I will show you a really simple walking tour which you can follow when you arrive at either Palma Intermodal (bus) station, or at Plaza España car park.
This self guided walking tour is all you need to follow if you plan to visit Palma de Mallorca Old Town (Casco Antigua) for the first time.
You can do this half-day walking tour in the morning and be back around your hotel swimming pool or on the beach after lunch.
Or really take your time, eat, drink, explore and see Palma's sights to make this one day in Palma de Mallorca you won't forget.
Follow the time stamps below to check out each area of my Palma de Mallorca guide.
You can also follow the same route on this Google Maps link (to view on Desktop, sign into your Google account to see this route. Or download Google Maps on your phone, sign in, then open the route and follow me in my footsteps!). This is the exact route I followed in this video, and you can follow it too here:

This is great! I'm stopping for a day on a cruise so will follow this. Didn't get of in Palma last year which I regret! Your recent videos have me eyeing a proper holiday in mallorca
Have a fab time !
I have done that exact walk so many times, I never tire of it.
Fantastic video Alex! Lots of lovely and familiar footage of picturesque Palma. The map that you are providing to go with this video is fantastic and such a brilliant resource! I struggle to read and follow maps so I think I will play this video when I do this tour aswell as looking at the map with your route. Just love Palma! Can’t wait to return and soak up the city atmosphere again.
And when you come it'll be much cooler to walk around too which will be a benefit too. Thanks Louise!
What a great guide, Palma is a wonderful city, it has everything.
Thanks so much Faith !
Thanks for the lovely tour of Palma. Some of my favourite spots featured
Cheers Sue!
This is so helpful - I'm visiting for the first time in seven years and definitely loved the POV style and explanations. Following you for more!!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
What a well filmed and well presented vlog, I absolutely love Palma, been many times and generally stay in hotels in the city itself, a very charming and beautiful historical interesting place that I never tire of, fabulous shops, excellent restaurants make it the perfect city break, thanks for sharing and bringing back so many wonderful memories ❤️👍
Its like you read my mind alex i will be in palma at the end of the month thanks for the walk around most of what you showed was what i was planning to do ☺.
You're coming over! Brilliant!
This was a brilliant tour around Alex. I've never really explored. We stayed a few times quite some years back but stuck to the same places. I fancy a Christmas time visit, it would be magical. 😃🎉🌲🌟
Fab tour Alex. The first time my daughter and I came to Mallorca (we have a Mum and daughter holiday each year) we stayed in Palma. We loved it and I've just seen the restaurant we had a great Paella!! We couldn't remember where it was, so thanks for that. We stayed in the city and went on the buses out to the coast and it was then we found Port de Soller. Have been going there ever since, but I think when we come back again next month we'll definitely have a day in Palma. Thanks again, you're a star!
Awww, that's lovely Jenny. My Mum and I used to have Mum and daughter holidays every year and sadly she's no longer able to travel. However, I'm hoping my daughter will keep up the Mum and daughter holidays tradition in the future! Literally travel is just the best time to have together. So many happy memories!
That was a brilliant video Alex. I absolutely loved it. I have been lost in palma twice 😅 and I’ve always been scared to come back. But the video makes me even more determined to try again
I was the same when I first moved to Palma. It really is a maze of streets . Please go back and see if the google maps link gets you around! You should be redirected if you stray off the path too!
Loved this, thanks Alex
Aww, thanks so much for watching!
Great video, Alex. As always a pleasure to watch you .Many greetings to you😉
Thanks so much Alegre!
Thank you Alex, great video we only seen about half of palma but gives us a insight into where to visit next 👍
Brilliant. I'll be bringing out some more guides in the future!
That was a very good video, great information, and a very good route for first time visitors. Thanks Alex.
Thanks so much Dianne!
Thank you alex,another entertaining and informative video 😊
Cheers Kenneth!
To follow in my footsteps, here is the route on Google Maps (download Google Maps on your phone. You will need to log onto your Google account to see this route: goo.gl/maps/JVcbpiw5yxmZvg5CA I would love to know if this is useful. Let me know in the comments!).

Great video Alex! Thanks for the google map great to saw your route. Hope we can do during our visit to Mallorca soon. Ramon and Zoe
Thanks guys! IThis would be perfect for you guys ! Just enough time if you’re here for a day or so !
Loved this Video Alex. IJust brilliant. m hoping to follow your route. Got lost last time in Palma. x
I’ll have some more Palma content coming out this Autumn !
Great video Alex. Brings back many happy memories. I'd recommend Cappuccino in San Miguel for great atmosphere while having a coffee. Beautiful location. Many thanks, John
Very good point.... you know I contimplated going up there, but I had about an hour and a half to film this, and I could see it in the distance. I'll be back making a different video there soon though but it has to be included. It's an amazing place!
excellent guide, thanks
Thanks so much!
Great guide to Palma, good idea to have route on Google maps to follow. Love the way markets in Spain have bars/restaurants inside. 😄
Haha, yes! They are the best types of markets!
Great Info as usual Alex recognised a few places there.The Market reminds me so much of the Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona I was in last month
Oh wow ! I’ve not been to that one before !
Amazing I'm going there in the next few hours great video 😊
Have a fantastic day! Let me know if the video helped your day (and if you use the map!)
Hola Alex I visited palma with my daughter last july and had an amazing time we loved the resturants and tapas bar and so much to see ill be in cala de mallorca October time and so tempted to do a day trip to palma I loved the video have a great day❤
Thanks so much Mike and that's brilliant to hear!
Lovely video of beautiful Palma 😎 Just booked a trip for half term February there 😍
This is a great time to visit!
That was fantastic thank I'm thinking of touring the lsland next year
It's very tourable, and easy to get around with plenty to see! I recommend coming over!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun I was in santa pona last year and going again ro can pastilla in October for a short break but woukd love to see the rest of the island palma looks fab
This was great thank you 😊
You're welcome Sarah!
Wow you must have been hot! Brought back very happy memories of our life in Majorca. For families with younger kids there is an amazing park behind And built in top of the Intermodal Station
I just managed to film this before the temperatures rocketed again! And yes, the park is fab!
I need to spend more time here.. came over from pnovas boat trip but it was a rush tho we loved it 😊
Palma is definitely worth a look around. If no time in the Summer, come back at Christmas!
Oh im llooking forward to watching this Alex
It's a bit of a long one, I apologise, but it will be helpful if you come to Palma!
We spent the day in Palma in.May before travelling upto Pollensa. This video will be great for next year. We might get to see a bit more.
Great informative video.
Thanks so much John!
Beautiful
Love the Free Walking Tour video. Thank you for giving us an idea on our first time to explore Palma next month.😎
Any bus hopping idea to see the scenic coastal view?
I would say, do a boat trip from Palma to get views of the coast. Try this tour. www.getyourguide.com/mallorca-l47/palma-de-mallorca-luxury-catamaran-tour-with-buffet-meal-t396956/?partner_id=1SM81XK&cmp=yt
Another great video, Alex. You almost don’t need the beach st all; so much to see and do in the old city of Palma. I want to take that new itinerary of EF Go Ahead tours next year that begins in Barcelona, then a flight to Menorca, then the ferry to Alcudia and on to Palma and Valencia as an optional extension. Check it out. 😮
Hello! I’ve just taken a look at this - it looks wonderful - what a fantastic way to travel ! The company looks fab ! I think you’ll have an amazing time (especially the Mallorca section of the journey )!
Superb Alex loved that. Can I ask how you got the Google track of your walk?
Cheers Michael! I created it myself on the desktop version!
Really useful video. Thank you. What time of year did you film this?
Hello, I think I filmed this in July or August last Summer.
Hi , we have found your video's very informative so thanks, we're coming to mallorca in early sept arriving 9th, well drive to Soller and stay for 2 nights, then we plan to explore the island, do you think we need to prebook hotels and restaurants at this time of year or should we just wing it?
Many thanks
Hi Mark I would absolutely recommend booking hotels because o anticipate the island will be busy in September. Same with any particular restaurant you want to go to. We’ve winged it this summer with restaurants and always found somewhere to eat but hotels are another matter!
Nice
We are planning on getting the bus to palma from palmanova when we are there next year
Perfect, it's so easy to do! You will enjoy it!
Love your videos!!
Were going back to palma nova / magaluf after about 10 years. Can anyone tell me if contactless payment in bars etc are as acceptable as other parts of the island???
Thanks
LOL yes, Palma is the capital city of the Balearic Islands! Contactless is widely used!
Would you recommend going from the puerto pollenca area for a day or are there better places or is it just not worth it.
Cheers
Go!! Watch the video and you can literally follow this route and make a few diversions. I love Palma Old Town !
Thanks ,we going in September there ,u from Bristol?
I fly in there, but I'm from Dorset
Hi Alex, off topic, but if i wanted to go on a property search, what websites I'm I best looking for
No probs! Check Idealista dot com and Fotocasa dot com but also drop me an email too on alex@mallorcaunderthesun.com
👏👏
Hey Ricky !
Hey Alex. I know this is an older video but im coming to palma as a solo traveller for 4 days in just over 2 weeks. Im getting stressed about getting lost in Palma. Do you think i will be ok solo and not find it too hard to explore Palma. I am used to santa ponsa never stayed in Palma.
Hi Marie - don’t worry ! Palma is a really small city and the old town may look confusing on a map so even if you take a wrong turn you’ll end up on a main square. You’ll have a wonderful time! Make sure you take a walk to the city beach and into Portixol and Ciudad Jardín. Lots of buses run back to the centre! Have fun !
Thanks. U put my mind at ease a bit☺ Was in seans bar in santa ponsa during the rugby when u were recording your video. Too shy to say hello but recognised you straight away.
@@mariebarry1353 NO WAY ! That’s a shame ! Look you’ll be fine in Palma - even get the train or bus to Soller one day! I’m around and about in the city a few days a week too so if you see me please say hi !!
Hi, we are heading to Mallorca soon and wanted to visit Palma for a day out.
We liked this video because we are going to follow the advice
We are driving from Alcudia and want to park up in Palma
I couldn't hear the name of the carpark which was suggested
Could someone please type it for me
Thanks
Hello, yes, it's the parking at Plaza España. just put it into google maps or Waze. Have a great time!
Thank you
We like your videos and thanks for posting them❤
What number bus can I take from santa ponsa to plama?
I can’t remember without searching on Google. To save me a job - Google “TIB bus timetable Santa Ponsa to Palma Mallorca” and you’ll even get a timetable and bus stop info too !
Do you live in Mallorca with your husband ?
Thank you Alex i didn't know about the market,been to Palma city a few times.Dont buy off the Gypsey rose sellers,you will be distracted by other gypsies who gather round you,and when you get your wallet out your wallet&money will be gone(pinched)by them. be warned,it happend to me in the plazza mayor,and I was street wise.The basilica San Miguel is lovely inside.
Yes! I've seen them in action. I was amazed to see the police car patrolling which is actually a first, but I think this presence was keeping them away. Have to really keep your eyes peeled in Palma. ps. The market is briliant - you have to go next trip!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Went to Palma City this morning,There were 2 policies local on foot around the Plazza Mayor,also a police car entered as we were leaving.Have pre warned other english tourists at our hotel Globales Palma Nova,to be aware of buying a single rose from anyone especially the gypsies any where inside Palma City as they will loose there wallet or purse befor they know what's happened. xx
where can I buy real pearls necklace and earrings?
I know there are pearl shops around the island. If you google "pearls in mallorca" it should return some results.
You lived 4 years in Palma? Workin' on what, if i can ask......(curiosity killed the cat)
You can read all about it here! amzn.to/3P5YlsJ
Looky Looky fellas spoil every city! I know they wanna earn a few quid but still.....
