Your private walking tour begins in Palma's monumental area, close to two of the city's most important landmarks: Palma Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace. From here, your private guide will take you into the historic centre, explaining how Palma has developed over the centuries and revealing details that are easy to miss when exploring the city independently.
You will walk through the narrow streets and squares of the Old Town, discovering some of Palma's characteristic historic courtyards, known locally as patios. These elegant entrances and courtyards are an important part of the architectural heritage of the city and provide a glimpse into the Palma of past centuries. As you continue through the historic centre, the route can include places such as the Convent of Santa Clara and the Arab Baths, while your guide explains the different cultures and historical periods that have shaped Mallorca's capital.
Another fascinating area is Palma's former Jewish Quarter, where you can learn about the history of the city's Jewish community and its legacy.
The walk can also introduce you to a completely different side of Palma through its Modernist architecture, discovering how the architectural movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries influenced buildings in the city centre.
Rather than following a rigid route, your guide can adapt the walk according to your interests and the pace of your group. If you are particularly interested in history, architecture, Jewish heritage, local life or a particular period of Palma's past, let us know and we can place more emphasis on that aspect of the city.
