Tips nobody 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: Booking vs. Winging It
Taxis at the airport rank use the meter plus supplements (airport fee, luggage, night rate). A pre-booked transfer has a fixed price and your driver waits with your name. No queues, no surprises.

CABBIK
❌ Rookie Mistake: City Centre Parking is a Rip-Off
You'll pay up to €3/h (Parc de la Mar). Park in deterrent car parks (Avenidas or Plaza Mayor, €2/h). Tip: On Sundays, the ORA (blue zone) is usually free.

CABBIK
✅ Local Tip: Where to Eat in the Centre
Be careful in La Lonja: it's beautiful but very touristy. For authentic, good-value food, do as the locals: head to Santa Catalina Market.

CABBIK
❌ Money-Saving Tip: Alternative to the Tourist Bus
Don't pay €25 for the red bus. EMT line 4 (public bus) costs €2 and covers the most beautiful stretch: Cathedral, Paseo Marítimo and near the Castle (Pl. Gomila).

CABBIK
✅ Useful Tip: The Cathedral Without the Crowds
Go at 10:00 sharp. Cruise ships arrive around 11:00. NOTE: It closes early (15:15 in winter / 17:15 in summer). Sundays CLOSED for tourist visits.

✅ Sweet Tip: Best Value Ice Cream
For artisan ice cream, locals go to 'La Boutique del Gelato' (near Plaza Mayor). Incredible flavours and very generous portions.

CABBIK
✅ Foodie Tip: Where to Buy Ensaimadas
Avoid buying them at the airport (pricier and less fresh). Locals buy them the day before from traditional bakeries in the centre (e.g. Forn des Teatre).

❌ Safety Tip: The Rosemary Trick
Palma is safe, but be careful in crowded areas (Cathedral). Watch out for anyone who "gifts" you a sprig of rosemary: it's a common trick to distract you and ask for money or pick your pocket.

CABBIK
✅ Shopping Tip: The Outlet is 15 min Away
Mallorca Fashion Outlet (Festival Park) has brands at up to 70% off. The train (T1, T2 or T3) leaves from Plaza España and drops you at the door.

CABBIK
✅ Classic Tip: Ca'n Joan de S'Aigo
Palma's best chocolate shop since 1700. A must-try: ensaimada (or "cuarto") with hot chocolate or their homemade almond ice cream.

CABBIK
✅ Useful Tip: Bellver Castle Free on Sundays
Save the entrance fee by visiting the castle on Sundays — 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 former baroque palace, famous for its decadent decoration with fresh fruit and flowers. Magical.
