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!!

Posted: May 27, 2024I travelled to Palma in December so I didn’t expect the weather would be that nice. I felt quite safe even at night. There is no loud parties at night(even if there are some, they not gonna annoy you) I definitely recommend you to take your swimsuit (even in December) I saw some people swimming, the water was not cold at all. Very beautiful place and prices are adorable. For a nice dinner at the restaurant I payed 25-30 euros. The prices for coffee are incredibly cheap😄

Mallorica has a good vibes, it’s a mix of simplicity and uniqueness. People also are so friendly and nice and love live. Food also was so good especially seafood, but some restaurants doesn’t seems so fresh. It was overall special and safe

Palma is the beautiful capital of Mallorca - the island of light. It has a historic center with a lot of sites to visit - the most famous one is the cathedral. You find an outstanding number of national and international restaurants with good prices for delicious food and also some shopping areas. The beach is in walking distance - as well as the Harbour, where you can start your trip on a boat. The people are very open and relaxed; it is a place to spend a wonderful time. ☀️
Posted: October 27, 2023We stayed in Palma and each day we visited a beach somewhere or another town. We didnt spend much time in Palma, we mostly visited old town there. I was kinda disappointed to see everything closing early - around 10 pm. Apparently, the other part of the town is much more lively with a better nightlife - i gathered that from one evening, when we had dinner there. However, Palma felt pretty safe to me. During the day the old town is nice and has a great atmosphere, there is a lot of nice boutique shops. But as I said, we mostly visited other places. We got around with bus and we used a train once. Buses are very great, make sure to check the schedule. Also it is much cheaper if you pay by credit card directly on the bus (if there is more of you, pay everything with one card since you get a discount) - except the bus from airport, which costs 5e/person. we stayed in a room with privet bathroom in a rental unit, a few minutes of walking to the centre. I would recommend visiting Cala des Moro - since it is very popular, there is a lot of tourists, but it was beautiful. I wasnt as impressed by Cala Pi. We also liked Manacor and Porto Cristo. What I liked the most was Valdemossa - a small town in the mountains. It is very pretty, a lot of local bars and boutique shops. I really enjoyed it there. I would recommed eating a seafood paella once, since it is the local dish. We also went for tapas and wine. We really liked alioli and olives. We visited La Rosa - a tapas restaurant in Palma. The vibe and food are amazing, maybe it is a bit pricier, but still accessible. However, I would really advice you to make a reservation - thet goes pretty much for every restaurant you want to visit. Also visiting Can Joan de sAigo is a must if you ask me. You get traditional pastries and good coffee and the price is very good. We ate breakfast there a couple times, however it also thends to get busy. All in all the trip was amazing, we got the most of it. We stayed for a week and spet around 600e per person (including accomodation) or something like that. I would say that you can sped less, depending on what you want to do or see. If you visit Mallorca for beaches and nature, maybe it is better to stay on another part of the town - see which one has best access. If I went again, I would stay in Palma for 2 nights and 5 nights somewhere maybe a bit more on the east of the islad, since I think that is where you find (or can access easier) most of the pretty beaches.
Posted: June 17, 2023I went alone for a week. It was great fun, it was easy to get around, the food was wonderful, and I felt very safe.
Posted: June 2, 2023I can highly recommend Mallorca. Especially in off season, the nature is beautiful and you can visit most places on your own, no other tourists. We loves it but you should know that during off season, many restaurants are closed.

Palma is very safe for everyone. I’ve been walking around by myself since I’m a kid and nothing bad as ever happened to me. As a female you can walk around with no worries, even at night. Just be careful at night when you go to the club with your belongings, that’s it

Palma is full of cctv and local people are super reliable In summer you need to pay attention to people who come to the island to rob tourists and can be a little too drunk My flat is in a trendy neighborhood but it is super safe I go out often late
