Things to do in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands: The Best Bus Tours

March 26, 2022 Terina Blouin

Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

You will visit two different wineries, a private tour through a more familiar and authentic Mallorcan winery with a small wine production but with a delicate elaboration and a cellar with large vineyards and olive trees, with views of the Serra de Tramuntana.

A fun and entertaining excursion, thanks to the fact that it goes with 3 transports and the variety of times you can go to each thing. The final destination (after the boat trip, Sa Calobra) is a bit crowded and the establishments in the area take advantage of its location, near the beach, and that you can't go anywhere else to eat.
