Airline & Holiday Information

The capital city of the island of Mallorca, Palma is a relatively large city (population about 325,000) with a substantial seaport.  The city has a vibrant mix of culture, history, and modern nightlife that provide a welcome respite from the crush of tourism at the region’s beachfront resorts. 

The highlight of flights to Palma is the city’s historic centre district, full of narrow streets bound by the towering walls of ancient edifices.  Easy on the feet and perfect for walking, Palma’s heart extends inland from the sea to the cathedral and palace that are the city’s most significant landmarks.  Both were built on top of Moorish structures that were demolished when conquering Christians took the island from the Moors centuries ago.

Palma is a central, convenient location perfect for those looking for great shopping, dining, and entertainment.  The best quality hotels are located just west of the city’s centre, but there are plenty of moderately-priced resorts and hotels there, too.  This is also where most of the city’s brilliant nightlife is concentrated, so the atmosphere is fairly energetic.

Daytime entertainment includes sightseeing in the city’s historic district, with attractions that include ancient Arabic baths and commercial ports.  There is also Bellver Castle and the Pueblo Español, reproductions of typical Spanish architecture.  Flights to Palma reveal many points of interest for the history buff or day-tripping sightseer.

For nightlife, you won’t be disappointed by the scene in the El Terreno neighbourhood.  From concerts to exhibits to festivals to performances to clubbing and pub-hopping, flights to Palma deliver many satisfied travellers home after a fabulous holiday.
