Top Things to do in Balearic Islands
10 Specialty Museums in Balearic Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

Great experience. Take the yellow boat at 10h00 from Mahon (Maó) and come visit this historic island with guided visit from local lovers of their history. The "Isla del Rey" is being restructered since 2014 by local voluntaries giving of their free time in order to give back to the place the greatness it deserves. Come visit it without hesitation.

We absolutely loved this museum. A short walk from the entrance to Dalt Vila (and well signposted) I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the area. For two adults the entrance was under 5 euro total which is fantastic value as we spent about 1.5 hours here. The museum is beautiful and well maintained with information available in a range of languages. Once you have finished in the museum you are given a hard hat and allowed to venture out into the necropolis itself. The excavated caves are quite incredible.
5. Can Prunera Museum of Modernism
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 320 reviews
Can Prunera was built between 1904 and 1911. Nothing is known about its author, although two hypothesis exist: according to one of them, it was Joan Rubio i Bellver (1870-1952), a Catalan architect who at that time was working on the facades of Saint Bartholomew Church and the Bank of Soller headquarters, but there is no documental evidence of it. Another hypothesis attributes it to local builders.

Fascinating combination of museum and gallery. Enjoyed the architecture and the information about the building's history, and the artwork and exhibitions. The Pep Guerrero exhibition was a particular treat.
