L’Hort del Rei - S’Hort del Rei was a medieval garden located outside the walls of the Almudaina palace until the 19th century when the area was developed. Today, the gardens are an oasis of natural beauty and sculptures.
-
Passeig del Born - Guests will stroll along the Paseo del Borne, or ‘Passeig des Born’ in Catalan, which is arguably the most elegant avenue in Palma.

EsglĂ©sia de Sant Nicolau - The Church of San NicolĂ¡s is located on Estrecho San NicolĂ¡s street. The original building of the church of San Nicolas was a parish temple from 1302.

Guests will enjoy an exterior visit and an interior visit when permitted by local authorities.

Outside the building, there are ornately carved benches where locals love to sit. It is also a very popular meeting place for locals and tourists.

-
Carrer del Mirador - El Mirador RomĂ¡ntico is one of Palma’s most enchanting scenic spots, inviting visitors and guests with its stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. This serene oasis is particularly favored by couples and nature enthusiasts who come to soak in the beauty of the Balearic Islands. As the group arrives, the lush greenery and vibrant flowers create a welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for photography enthusiasts in the group looking to capture the essence of Mallorca, its maritime and mountain views with the Cathedral of Palma in the backdrop.
-
Seu de Mallorca - The guide will conclude the tour by introducing guests to the incredible history of the most popular tourist attraction. The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, more commonly known as La Seu, is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral. It is the Cathedral of the diocese of Mallorca, situated on the seashore of Palma, adjacent to the city walls and located between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the Episcopal Palace of Mallorca. Its rose window, with a diameter of nearly 14 meters, is the second-largest extant Gothic rose window, while its 44-meter high nave is the eighth-highest in the world.
The site of the cathedral was once occupied by a mosque under Muslim rule. Construction on the cathedral began shortly after the reconquest of the island in 1229 and continued into the 17th century.
Guests will also enter the Museum of the Sacred Art located in the Episcopal Palace, the residence of the Bishop of Mallorca located behind the Cathedral.
