“It was a great tour! It is an excellent way of exploring the city and I would recommend it to everyone”
Follow Sandra, a longtime Palma resident, on a self-guided audio walk from Parc de la Mar to Plaça de Cort. You’ll hear stories of Talayotic Mallorca, royal power, the Inquisition, churches, courtyards, and old bars. The VoiceMap app works offline, but it can use substantial battery.
“If you have little time on a first visit to Palma, this is an excellent resource and interesting exploration of the historical center. I would definitely recommend. I really enjoyed the highlights by the guide. The only limitation is relocating oneself if you find yourself getting off track..An improvement would be to link somehow with GMaps”
Travel by coach from several Mallorca pickup points to Palma, see the bay, Paseo Marítimo, and La Seu Cathedral on a panoramic tour, then explore independently. Host support is available in five languages, and guide Elisabeta and driver José are named in one booking account.
“Excellente expérience ayant permis de garder de très bons souvenirs de notre séjour à Majorque”
Use your smartphone to follow an English self-guided route from Plaza de España through Palma’s markets, squares, historic buildings, Cathedral, Arab Baths, Lonja, windmills, and Bellver Castle. Download the app and offline maps before you go. There is no live guide, and entry fees are extra.
“It was very focused on a few specific places. Instead of going in-depth on those, I personally would've liked to get to know a little bit of more different places”
Follow a self-guided Soundwalkrs audio walk through Palma’s old center, from Santa Eulalia Church to Montesión Church. Hear legends such as the Drac story, explore La Seu, the Diocesan Museum, Santa Clara, Almudaina Palace, and nearby squares, all at your own pace.
“I was expecting great tales and lots of history and this was minimally provided. The walk was pleasant and included some places that could be overlooked but it was underwhelming.”
You and up to five companions follow a smartphone app through Punta de n’Amer, stopping at 15 locations to solve riddles and uncover a fictional murder case in German. The route begins near Cala Millor and lasts about three hours, with the group returning to the starting point.
“a fun way to explore the area and the bound was really fun too. You can see places you might not have discovered.”
Follow a self-guided Palma audio tour narrated as Ramon Llull, the Mallorcan philosopher. Download the app, use offline maps and audio chapters, and walk from Mallorca Cathedral to Plaça de la Drassana in 45 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.
“We had some difficulty following the directions for bringing us from one focal point to the next. The idea about having a historical figure provide the narration was a good idea, but the implementation was a bit off base with the constant coughing during the narration.”
Pick a cala, a mountain road or a table in Santa Catalina.
