Palma

Palma

Palma, the capital of the Balearic island of Mallorca, is more than just a starting point for beach vacations. It combines historic charm with Mediterranean lifestyle and is also an ideal base for enjoyable convertible tours on Mallorca. With the famous cathedral La Seu, narrow old town streets, and lively boulevards, Palma offers an urban yet relaxed atmosphere – perfect for those who want to experience their stay in style and with mobility.

Old Town, Architecture, and Atmosphere

A walk through Palma’s old town leads past centuries-old patrician houses, small squares, and impressive buildings. The cathedral rises majestically above the sea and shapes the cityscape just like the royal palace La Almudaina. In the labyrinth of alleyways and courtyards, there is a special atmosphere – ideal for parking the convertible for a moment and letting yourself drift. Those who prefer a livelier scene will find numerous boutiques, galleries, and cafés along the Paseo del Borne or the shopping streets around Avenida Jaime III.

Driving the Convertible Through Mallorca's Countryside

Palma is the perfect starting point for stylish outings in your convertible. Particularly appealing is the route along the west coast through the Serra de Tramuntana – a UNESCO World Heritage region with winding mountain roads, grand views, and charming places like Valldemossa, Deià, or Sóller. The drive into the island's interior via Alaró, Santa Maria del Camí, or Binissalem is also worthwhile, as here you discover authentic Mallorca: almond groves, wineries, and traditional fincas shape the landscape.

Pleasure Between City and Nature

Whether in the evening at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the bay or at midday in a traditional bodega – Palma offers a culinary variety. The city is lively yet never hectic, allowing for a short time to experience both the urban and rural Mallorca. Those driving along winding roads during the day can enjoy the Mediterranean flair of the city in the evening – a combination that particularly appeals to convertible enthusiasts.

More Than a Capital City

Palma is vibrant, historic, and modern at the same time. As a base for tours around Mallorca or as a stylish city to arrive and enjoy, it impresses with its diversity and location. Those traveling in a convertible will find everything here: culture, cuisine, and winding roads with sea views.
