Paul, Cabin Manager
1. Must-See: La Seu as a symbol of divine beauty
The La Seu Cathedral in Palma boasts gothic towers with intricate stained-glass windows and magnificent vaults. It is definitely a highlight of Mallorcan architecture – and a must-see for all art lovers.
2. Tapas tour through Mallorcan cuisine

3. Mystical worlds in the stalactite caves
Mallorca’s stalactite caves are a hidden gem with over 200 cave systems. Some are accessible only by diving, while others can be reached on foot and are great photo spots – like the famous Dragon Cave in Porto Cristo. Underground lake and spectacular lighting included!

Getting around
You can get away without a rental car on Mallorca as the bus network is well-developed and connects practically all parts of the island. However, if you aim to visit more remote places away from tourism, a rental car is advisable. These are available at the airport and in all major towns. This way you can explore the hidden beaches and the many small, charming villages scattered across the island.
