Insider Info

Tips No One Tells You Until It's Too Late

Common tourist mistakes and local secrets that will save you time and money in Palma

CABBIK

Transport Tip: Taxi vs. Booked Transfer

Taxis from the airport rank use a meter + surcharges (airport fee, luggage, night). To know the exact cost, book a private <strong>transfer</strong>: it has a fixed price, and they wait for you with no queues.

CABBIK

Rookie Mistake: City Centre Parking is a Rip-off

You'll pay up to €3/hr (Parc de la Mar). Park in peripheral car parks (like Avenidas, €2/hr). Tip: On Sundays, ORA (blue zone) street parking is often free.

Local Tip: Where to Eat in the Centre

Be careful in La Lonja: it's beautiful but very touristy. To eat authentically and at a good price, do as the locals do: go to the Santa Catalina Market.

Money-Saving Tip: Alternative to the Tour Bus

Don't pay €25 for the red Hop-On bus. The public EMT bus (Line 4) costs €2 and covers the most beautiful part of that route: Cathedral, Seafront, and gets you close to the Castle.

Useful Tip: The Cathedral Without Hordes

Go right at 10:00 AM. Cruise ship groups arrive around 11:00. NOTE: It closes early (3:15 PM in winter / 5:15 PM in summer). CLOSED to tourists on Sundays.

Sweet Tip: Best Value Ice Cream

For artisan ice cream, locals go to 'La Boutique del Gelato' (near Pza. Mayor). Incredible flavours, great price, and very generous scoops.

Gastronomy Tip: Where to Buy Ensaimadas

Avoid buying them at the airport (more expensive, less fresh). Locals buy them the day before at traditional bakeries in the centre (e.g., Forn des Teatre).

Security Tip: The Rosemary "Gift"

Palma is safe, but beware in crowded areas (Cathedral). Watch out for anyone "gifting" you a rosemary sprig: it's a common trick to distract you and ask for money or pickpocket you.

Shopping Tip: The Outlet is 15 min away

Mallorca Fashion Outlet (Festival Park) has brands with up to 70% off. The train (T1, T2, or T3) leaves from Plaza España and drops you at the door.

Classic Tip: Ca'n Joan de S'Aigo

Palma's best hot chocolate spot since 1700. A must-try is the ensaimada (or "cuarto") with hot chocolate or their homemade almond ice cream.

Useful Tip: Bellver Castle Free on Sundays

Save the entrance fee by visiting the castle on a Sunday—it's free for everyone. Locals also use the surrounding forest as the city's "green lung".

Secret Tip: A Night in a Baroque Palace (Ábaco)

Have a cocktail at Ábaco (La Lonja area). It's a spectacular old baroque palace, famous for its decadent decor with fresh fruit and flowers everywhere. Magical.
