For a great way to see Mallorca, we offer the classic double-decker bus with the hop-on/hop-off opportunity that lets you see this gorgeous, and historic city the way you want. Your ticket is good for one full day and you can take advantage of the choice between riding the whole route or picking and choosing where you want to visit. Also included in this shore excursion is a Boat Cruise that will take you around Palma Bay while you enjoy drinks and snacks.

With this great combo excursion, you can hop on board at the stop that is close to your Palma de Mallorca cruise ship pier. When you first come on board you will be given a map with all the stops. You can also learn more about the city and the highlights by using the individual audio system with earphones that will give you interesting information in a variety of languages including English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Chinese, Russian, and Catalan. 

Remember, you are welcome to ride the whole route and then pick which stop on the next circle around or get off at a sight you want to see more thoroughly. Then, when you're ready, you can hop back on the next bus. Wait time is minimal since the buses run all day.

Start your adventure at the Avenida de Antoni Maura and it takes you straight to Plaza del Mercat at Bus Stop 2, where you'll find the famous statue of the Prime Minister, Antonio Maura. Plaza de Espana is perhaps one of the most beautiful locations in Palma de Mallorca. It's a big square located in the city center and is enriched with culture and vibrant energy! Surrounded by trees and greenery, you can take a nice long stroll along the grounds. Hop off at Bus Stop 8 to take in the beauty of the Pueblo Espanol, a hidden gem of the village where there are many replications of famous buildings from all over Spain. Whether you are interested in shopping, museums, or a seaside stroll, there is everything to see and do along the route. Just remember that entrance fees to optional sites are not included.

You'll find the Plaza Mayor nearby which is a big central square with lots of outdoor restaurants for you to tuck in some tasty tapas. Hop off at stop 9 to see the amazing views from Bellver Castle (Entrance ticket included) this beautiful castle dates back to the early 14th century. It’s an amazingly impressive building. If you want the kids to see a real castle, there aren’t many better than this, please consider the castle is available from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sundays are open until 3 PM. Another great place to hop off is Museo Es Baluard. It features more than 700 works from artists that have a relationship with the Balearics, among others. Picasso, Miró, and Sorolla are just some of the amazing artists whose works are featured. And the kicker is that this package includes the entrance! Also, don’t miss the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, which stands between La Seu and the sea. This amazing medieval palace is still the official summer home of the Spanish Royal Family. 

You will also get to see the skyline and shore from aboard a boat. A great way to see Mallorca from the waters of Palma Bay. Your water-sightseeing adventure departs from Escalera Real, but please redeem your ticket at stop 1 at least 15 minutes before the boat departs. The narrated boat ride takes approximately 50 minutes and it runs from 11:00 AM to 03:00 PM. Please note that the boat is not accessible to passengers with wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Please plan your schedule and route plan accordingly but your ticket is good for 24 hours, so it's easy to schedule your time on the bay. Be sure to check below for a listing of city stops.
