Renovated Apartment In Palma Old Town

Old Town Palma, known locally as the Casc Antic, is the historic core of the Balearic capital, a dense and layered quarter of Gothic palaces, Renaissance courtyards, and narrow limestone streets that have accumulated character over seven centuries. The cathedral of La Seu anchors the southern edge above the seafront, while the Almudaina Royal Palace and the Arab Baths speak to the depth of the quarter’s history. Living here means moving through architecture that functions as daily backdrop rather than tourist spectacle.

Day to day, residents walk to the Mercat de l’Olivar for fresh produce, and to restaurants such as Marc Fosh on Carrer de la Missió or Aromata near the Plaça de la Reina. The Passeig des Born, the city’s main promenade, is minutes away on foot, as are the galleries and independent boutiques concentrated around Carrer de Sant Feliu.

Palma Airport is approximately 11 kilometres from Old Town, reachable in around 20 minutes by taxi or 30 minutes on the Airport Metro Line 1, which connects directly to Plaça d’Espanya. From there, regional rail links serve Inca and Manacor. The port offers regular ferry connections to Barcelona, Valencia, and Ibiza, with crossing times ranging from roughly 3.5 to 8 hours depending on the route and vessel.
