Gothic styled chapels and Arabic monuments still decorate the city’s interior. The contemporary museums are home to beautiful works from Miro, Picasso and Salvador Dali to name a few.
City lights: Palma de Mallorca at night is a world away from what you are met with during the day. Take a walk around La Lonja and discover fresh seafood restaurants.
Discover the secluded Abaco bar and sip a cocktail while surrounded by beautiful, antique furnishings or take a short walk to Santa Catalina where nightlife is buzzing with cosmopolitan entertainment.
Savour the flavour: The gastronomy in Mallorca is on another level. The island is home to no less than 9 Michelin stars!
