The Palma Cathedral is a stunning example of Mediterranean Gothic architecture that took over 400 years to complete, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and neo-Gothic elements.
Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction. This is not the venue's website.
cathedral's terraces
Palma Cathedral boasts the largest Gothic rose window in Europe, measuring nearly 14 meters in diameter and made of over 1,200 pieces of stained glass. This masterpiece creates a kaleidoscope of colors, earning the cathedral its nickname, "Cathedral of Light."
Twice annually, on February 2 and November 11, the morning sun aligns perfectly with the cathedral's rose windows, projecting a luminous figure-eight pattern inside. This captivating event, known as the "Festival of Light," draws visitors eager to witness this unique interplay of architecture and nature.
In 2007, renowned Mallorcan artist Miquel Barceló transformed the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament with a striking ceramic mural. Depicting the biblical miracle of the loaves and fishes intertwined with marine motifs, this modern addition offers a vibrant contrast to the cathedral's Gothic elements.
Between 1904 and 1914, architect Antoni Gaudí undertook significant restorations, including relocating the choir, introducing new stained glass windows, and designing a unique baldachin resembling a crown of thorns above the altar. His interventions harmoniously blend Gothic tradition with modernist innovation.
Ascending the cathedral's bell tower rewards visitors with panoramic views of Palma and the Mediterranean Sea. The tower houses nine bells, with the largest, "N'Eloi," weighing over 4,500 kilograms, adding to the cathedral's majestic presence.
The cathedral's museum showcases a rich collection of liturgical artefacts, sculptures, and paintings spanning centuries. Highlights include the Gothic and Baroque Chapterhouses and the Sacristy of the Vermells, offering insights into the cathedral's historical and artistic evolution.
The best time to visit the Palma Cathedral is during the low season between April to June and September to October. This is when you can enjoy good weather and fewer crowds.

The atmosphere. Everything was very peaceful and harmonious inside. We particularly liked the picturesque windows.
A magnificent view from the terraces, the price must discourage a lot of people, which makes the place a little crowded, but it's really beautiful. Arrived 15 minutes early and they let us on before time.
Quick and easy way to book the tickets
Fast and uncomplicated processing
We went right through! The cathedral is magnificent, a work of art!
We went in right away. Very convenient
An incredibly beautiful church
It was so easy to gain entry and no wait whatsoever!
👍 It was a beautiful experience and the cathedral is magnificent
Everything worked wonderfully, the entrance was super fast! And then the inside of the cathedral with all the colors and shapes, you can really feel the history of this building! Thanks for everything
Entry was easy to book and you didn't have to queue. Brilliant. The cathedral itself is wonderful to look at. It has a lot of Gaudi influences, which is why it immediately reminded me of the Sagrada Familia. An enchanting play of light through the many colored glasses. It is absolutely worth a visit.
Ticket was booked at short notice, easy handling, immediate entry, beautiful cathedral from the inside, everything beautiful😊
The staff at the entrance told us that the audio guide was not included in our ticket, even though it was clearly indicated in the reservation.
Great cathedral -no queues on the day. Got stolen my bank cards in gift shop but that's of course not Headout's fault.
The price is too high for a place of prayer. It can quickly become too much for a family, or for someone who can't afford it but wants to pray or light a candle, for example.
The booking was super easy and the ticket was accepted straight away and we were able to enter the cathedral within moments!
On arrival, the person in charge informed us that this type of ticket did not include the audio-guide, whereas it was mentioned that the entrance ticket did include the audio-guide.
The cathedral is beautiful! Unfortunately, it is very boring... There are also not enough toilets! Otherwise it was ok
Tha Chatedral was wonderful. First you visit a museum with religious objects and reliques and then the inside of the chatedral. The lights inside are amazing because of the rose windosws.
Even though we did not receive email confirmation of payment, we showed up at the entrance without any problem they let us in .
I needed a data matrix code which was not provided. I had to negotiate with the staff on site for the cathedral AND the museum.
The cathedral was very impressive. It wasn't very crowded, so we were able to see everything well. Unfortunately we had kept to the official dress code (shoulders and knees covered). So we and a few others were very warm 🥵. Perhaps a small hint that the cathedral can apparently also be visited in very skimpy clothing.

Although the guide was helpfui & clear the content of the tour particularly in the Old Town was light &sketchy. Expected much more detail than the colour of paint on the shutters! Much more on the history & evolution of the area needed
Competent and amusing leadership
Our Tour Guide Karla was knowledgeable & gave us plenty of time to enjoy the shops & the cathedral, as well.
We arrived at the meeting point at 10:30 am, looked for the guide for 20 minutes with another couple who were also waiting, then a French guide directed us to a group that was starting the tour, no need to get acquainted, no need to ask for ID or a ticket, except that when we arrived at the cathedral it turned out that we weren't with our guide, so we were refused access to the cathedral, fortunately another French guide helped us get in. Not at all happy with this 56-euro experience, I wouldn't recommend this site.
You gave ne an incorrect meeting point
The guide Parker barely spoke French, so it was hard to understand the tour. If we'd known we wouldn't have booked a guide
Dreadful!! Arrived close to cathedral entrance no guide turned up no English speaking guide. No sign of anyone. The guards at the cathedral had never heard of headcount and didn't recognise our ticket. In the end they allowed us in due to sympathy so we wandered around the cathedral alone. Paid 49 euros what an absolute scam DO Not BUY THESE TICKETS
Guida simpatica e gentile. L'abbiamo trovata facilmente. Dal sito non avevo compreso che la guida fosse solo in inglese. Una cosa che si potrebbe migliorare è il non avere due lingue in contemporanea.
The not too big group and the cathedral.
The guide did an awsome job, so that even the kids had a good time, and remenbered what he told us
Very goos exprecience and Inma the tourist guide was very nice
Hello, we had booked a guided tour of the cathedral in French as the language is available on the site. We had an appointment at 11am and when we got there, it was impossible to find our guide. We were told we had to wait until 11:30 before our visit. So the time given was already not respected. When we arrived at 11.30am, there was still no sign of our guide. Fortunately, a lady from the company spoke a little French, as she informed us that the tour could only be taken in German or English. So we followed this lady, who basically wasn't our guide - ours was always a no-show. We'd like to thank her for trying to explain as much as possible in French, so that we could follow the tour. We were rather disappointed with the organization, as the time was not respected and they offered French, but in reality there was no guide who spoke it.
We couldn't go on our tour because the guide did not acknowledge our tickets saying that they were not payd but we appered on his list of tourist and the money was taken from our card. We did ask headout for our money back. We are waiting for a refound. This experience caused a lot of disconfort in our honeymoon and hope to get our money back.

We did the Hop on Hop off busses in Palma De Mallorca as well as Barcelona! The absolute best way to get around and familiarize yourself with a city. Buses came by very frequently and the audio information that gives you highlights along the way was spectacular. This tour option is a must, the highlight of our trip.
Loved the castle. Didn't like dismissive rude nature of ticket handler when I hadn't got the app loaded to have the QR code. Had to head back to hotel to get wi fi to get app and code.

The two artists who gave the cathedral its impressive design. The new chapel by the Mallorcan artist is a real stunner.

The museum is very good and also the theme of the games and the photocall, all at the height of what Rafa Nadal deserves, and what his values represent. The only thing we missed was an awning at the entrance of the museum because we went with our son and he was in the sun for 15 minutes without the possibility of getting in the shade.

Didn't know what to expect but we as a family loved it all....all the VR and digital games etc were great for everyone in the family to enjoy, young and old and as big Rafa fans it was try amazing to see all his achievements and what an incredible guy he is and also to see the other sports stars he obviously admires. Loved seeing the rackets of soany tennis players from the past.
The visit to the museum of Rafael Nadal has been very rewarding, we have found that not only is the best athlete in the history of Spain but he is a great person, simple and has not lost its initial essence...... Thanks Rafa for walking the name of Spain around the world and for the moments you have given us.

No waiting at the entrance or for interactive activities. Very well organized. Modern, welcoming, very interesting museum. A must-see for tennis fans on Mallorca. US OPEN restaurant; good prices and quality. Pleasant staff.
