PostHeaderIcon Visiting Palma

In these days of increasingly cheap flights there is no good reason why you should not take yourself off to a favourite holiday destination such as Palma, almost on a whim. Booking online is simplicity itself, and with so many cheap flights to choose from the only difficulty is deciding which one to go for.

It’s easy to see why Palma is a top destination for short breaks and longer holidays alike. Being the capital of the Balearic Islands (with the great advantage of being situated in the stunning Bay of Palma) this city has worked hard to rise from more deprived times and is now a favourite with visitors, striking just the right balance between the historic and modern.

If you are looking for a vibrant nightlife, trendy bars, boutiques and nightclubs, Palma has all of these. But equally, there are traditional restaurants and pavement cafes in which to relax. The historic quarter, palaces, galleries and museums cater for all tastes, and tourists have been discovering that Palma is a worthy destination in its own right rather than just a staging post to the beach resorts.

There are plenty of pensions and hotels to choose from, such as the small and friendly Palau Sa Font, which is a renovated Episcopal palace dating from the sixteenth century, having a fine view across the Bay. Seafood restaurants on the waterfront and restaurants specialising in Mallorcan cuisine ensure plenty of choice when it comes to dining.

The sandstone cathedral dominating the waterfront and the Royal Palace of the Citadel are just two of the great sights on offer, so choose from the cheap flights and fly to Palma pronto.
