Creator's Key Takeaways

Disembarkation was really easy. We got off the ship in no time at all and then started walking towards the cruise terminal itself.

The taxi dropped us off right outside the cathedral which was fantastic.

The cathedral area itself is fantastic where there's opportunities to visit the palace, which is opposite the cathedral and the cathedral itself.

Palmer is a bustling city with many shops, lots and lots of tourists. It was incredibly busy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a taxi or a bus directly from outside of the port to save time and money.
Consider pre-booking tickets for the palace and cathedral to avoid queues.
Explore the old town for narrow, beautiful streets and traditional atmosphere.
Visit the free church as an alternative to the chargeable cathedral.
Watch out for street sellers, but they generally leave you alone.

YouTube Video Description

On Day 6 of our Costa Diadema France, Italy and Spain cruise we docked in Palma de Mallorca and we were looking forward to exploring the area around the Cathedral. We did not book any excursions or transfers with the cruise line and made our own way around the city to and from the cruise terminal and visited some key attractions.
