Palma is the capital of Mallorca and the administrative centre of the Balearic Islands, a city of roughly 400,000 residents that carries genuine cultural and architectural weight. The old city, anchored by the Gothic cathedral of La Seu and the Almudaina Royal Palace overlooking the bay, has been continuously inhabited since Roman times. The result is a layered urban fabric where medieval lanes, Modernista mansions on the Passeig del Born, and a serious contemporary art scene coexist with a working Mediterranean port.

Daily life in Palma centres on the Mercat de l’Olivar for fresh produce, the restaurants of Santa Catalina such as Maca de Castro and Patron Lunares, and the galleries and cafés of the old quarter around Carrer de Sant Feliu. The Fundació Miró Mallorca and Es Baluard museum of modern art are both within the city.

Palma Airport, Son Sant Joan, sits approximately eight kilometres east of the city centre and handles direct flights to most major European capitals year-round, with significantly expanded schedules from April through October. The port connects to Barcelona, Valencia, and Ibiza by regular ferry. Within the island, the historic Palma to Sóller railway and a regional bus network provide access to the Serra de Tramuntana and the main coastal towns.
