I’ve been to Palma loads of times, and honestly, it never disappoints. This time I went with my kids, and we had such a great time! We stayed in a lovely all-inclusive hotel just 10 minutes from the airport, and the whole trip only cost £400 in total – such a bargain. Palma is great whether you’re going as a couple, solo, or with family. It’s really cheap most of the year from the UK, and you don’t need a big budget at all. There’s so much to do – beaches, hikes, nightlife, and just chilling out. I felt completely safe even when I was out and about with the kids on my own. Taxis are easy to get and not too expensive, and the buses take contactless and Apple Pay, which is super handy. Food-wise, there’s loads of choice – from fast food if you’ve got fussy eaters, to proper local restaurants if you fancy trying something new. Honestly, I’d 100% recommend Palma. It’s affordable, fun, and perfect for all kinds of trips.

Palma was amazing! We walked around the city and found the cutest little streets everywhere :) People were incredibly nice and even one night where me and my friend walked 3 hours in the middle of the night we did not fell uncomfortable for a second. Palma unites amazing beaches with warm water with a rich cultural centre and loads and loads of street music :) it was a really good experience

in Palma it is safe and convenient to travel alone. I have stayed with friends and at Urban hostel in a dormitory with many other solo travelers. For my country's currency, it is quite expensive in restaurants, but it is easy to also find good and cheaper alternatives in supermarkets. I visited a winery Marcia Batle which is near the Sant Maria train station (20 minutes from Palma). it was very affordable and interesting!
Posted: July 7, 2024Life in Palma is totally great!! I really liked being there and there were lots to see and do. I was there during three days and it was just good enough :) I stayed in an AirBnB, with a host called Miguel and all I can say is that it was 5/5!!

Palma is definitely a safe city. It's small, so you can easily get everywhere by simply- walking. With all touristic cities there's always some precautions to take, especially if you don't look like a local. Personally I never felt in danger.

I would say is a safe city!! Be careful at tourists places as the main square (Plaza españa) and public transport. I have seen some pickpockets on the street, that usually work with an scooter and take phones, mostly to tourist
