Cinema, Literature & More in Mallorca

Climb up to the terraces to see Palma from above: bay, bell tower, flying buttresses and rose window (guided tours in shifts)

If you are looking for a “wow” plan without leaving the center, this is one of the most special experiences: you tour the terraces of the Cathedral and see up close elements that are normally only appreciated from below (buttresses, rose windows, Gothic details), as well as brutal views of the bay and the city.

The visits are made in groups, with shifts every 30 minutes and lasting approximately 1 hour. 

✅ Why go
It is the typical plan that surprises even if you have already been to the Cathedral: it totally changes the perspective and feels very “Palma”. 

❌ To keep in mind
For security reasons, access is limited to people over 9 years old and it is not recommended if you have cardiorespiratory problems, vertigo or reduced mobility. 

📍 Data
When: Visits available between March and November
Hours: Monday to Friday 10:00–16:30 Saturdays 10:00–13:30
Duration: Approx. 1 hour (shifts every 30 min)
Tickets: €25 (includes Cathedral + terraces + Museum of Sacred Art)

Balearic Residents: FREE on Fridays (removing entry at the box office) · €8 Monday-Thursday and Saturday
