The entire city is characterized by a total of 33 Gothic Christian churches. These include the two main churches in the city of Palma. In addition, there are numerous old (some of them lavishly restored) palaces in the city, which were built by the city's well-off and wealthy residents. The splendor of the old days is therefore very impressive and nostalgic even from today's perspective. These lovingly maintained palaces are now mostly used as hotels, multifaceted vacation homes and apartments. As a keen vacationer, you therefore have numerous opportunities to get to know the old charm of Palma de Mallorca.

The entire old town is criss-crossed by small and narrow streets and alleys. These passages are usually connected by stairs or staircase-like structures. Due to this fact, Palma de Mallorca is naturally car-free, at least in parts. A special sight is the venerable town hall of Palma de Mallorca. This building is divided into two halves. The entire facade is decorated with various architectural elements that are reminiscent of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The roof of the town hall is kept in dark colors and decorated with numerous carved figures. As a tourist, you have the unique opportunity to capture this popular photo motif for your personal photo album.

The so-called Placa Major is the central hub of the old town of Palma de Mallorca. This is considered by many critics to be the most beautiful square on the island. Numerous small cafes, boutiques and tourist shops have settled here in recent decades. The spectacular view and the relaxed atmosphere invite you to relax. If you want to experience the old town in a very special and exclusive way, a city tour in one of the many horse-drawn carriages is a good option. This type of tour is relatively expensive, but it offers the unique opportunity to experience all of the (important / major) sights of the entire city as well as Palma's old town properties in a relatively short time. The tour by horse-drawn carriage offers you an unforgettable holiday experience that will remain in your memory for a long time.

In addition to the central town square Placa Major mentioned above, the old town offers two other places worth seeing that you should not forget when visiting the city. These are the squares Placa Mercat and Placa Weyler. In addition to the Renaissance and Gothic style buildings that are widespread throughout the island, there are also many buildings here that were built in the context of modernism. These include, for example, the internationally acclaimed art gallery Fundació La Caixa, which is housed in the local Gran Hotel. Another modern building worth mentioning is the so-called Can Casasyas. The facade of this building is grooved in a unique way. In addition, it is decorated with many different butterfly motifs. You can immediately see that this building was built with a lot of dedication and work. The building is therefore also suitable as a spectacular and unique photo motif, which is regularly visited by tourists.

In addition to the numerous buildings and squares worth visiting, the old town of Palma de Mallorca also offers impressive and unusual passages. These include, for example, the so-called Passeig de la Rambla and the Passeig d`es Born. Various types of shops, restaurants and cafes are operated here, which invite you to shop and relax. These passages are regularly frequented by both local residents and tourists on the island. The old town offers a very special flair that you will look for in vain outside the borders of this place. The old town image is clearly set apart from the external surroundings. Beyond the city limits, the landscape is dominated by modern commercial and residential buildings. A relatively wide (and therefore noisy) urban highway also runs along here. The old town, on the other hand, is free of these "modern" influences. It therefore offers a unique opportunity to recover from the stress of everyday life in a special way. The entire cityscape is criss-crossed by various green spaces and recreational areas. Children and young people find numerous places to play or to pass their free time in other ways. Various alleys invite you to roller skateing n or inline skating. At numerous stalls and shops you also have the opportunity to rent bicycles and corresponding trailers to explore the old town in this way. The development of the cycle paths required for this has been expanded enormously in recent years. As a potential holidaymaker, you have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the island city at any time. The old town is completely convincing with its stylistic mix of Arabic and Catalan influences. A visit to the city and its sights is therefore highly recommended. You will gain numerous positive impressions that you will not soon forget.
