We highly recommend purchasing tickets online for entry to the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca to avoid unnecessary lines. The Cathedral is definitely worth a visit; we recommend renting an audio guide.

The skip-the-line tickets made our visit to Palma Cathedral so much easier. No waiting at all, we could just walk straight in and enjoy the stunning architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. Booking through Headout was quick and simple, and the tickets worked perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mallorca!

Hop-on, hop-off is a great option—one we’ve already tried in many cities. We always take a full tour first and make a note of all the places where we want to get off.

A massive, meticulously crafted work of art. There aren't many people there in April, so you don't have to wait in line when buying tickets online. If possible, you should wear long pants to ensure you're allowed in, though shorts weren't a problem for us

Booked well in advance. The skip-the-line ticket is a must if you want to visit the cathedral. A must-see landmark—definitely worth a visit.

By booking through Headout, we didn't have to wait in a long queue. Good correspondence and a link to exactly the point of pick up made finding the entrance very easy Would use and recommend Headout again

The cathedral was stunning and the terrace views were something else. Highly recommend getting the terrace pass even if it costs a little more than the general ticket. Also try to get there early so you can see the sun shine through the stained glass.

Top things to do in Mallorca

The Palma Cathedral is an iconic Gothic masterpiece, and in 2022, the cathedral opened up its rooftop terraces to the public. As a result, visitors can now climb up the narrow stairs past centuries-old graffiti to step out onto these terraces for a birds-eye view of the city. The terraces also offer a closer look at several elements that you’d otherwise only have been able to see from below.

The significance here is that most cathedrals don’t allow visitors onto their rooftops, and the Palma Cathedral is one of the few that leverages this as a key selling point, offering a truly unique experience.

What are the Palma Cathedral terraces?

Terrace of the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, or La Seu, a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral located in Palma, Mallorca, Spain

The cathedral’s terraces, accessible from the top of its bell tower, offer fascinating views of the Mediterranean Sea and Palma’s harbor, along with a birds-eye view of the Old Town’s labyrinthine streets. Once you reach the terraces, you walk out onto the flying buttresses and roof ledges and come face-to-face with the Gothic pinnacles that you’d earlier only be able to admire from below.

The path up the bell tower, which consists of about 200 steps, features fascinating graffiti and markings on the wall made by the watchmen and refugees hiding behind the cathedral’s walls a long time ago.

The Great Rose Window

Climbing up to the terraces gets you a view of the Great Rose Window or the Eye of the Gothic from behind and right up close, offering a unique perspective to one of the largest rose windows in the world.

The bronze bells

Being on the terraces also gets you up close to the bronze bells, giving you unique photo-ops with the cathedral’s architecture creating the perfect frame.

The Gothic architecture

The terraces also give you a finer appreciation of the cathedral’s architecture. For instance, you get to see how the buttresses brace the walls and how high above the ground the vaults soar—a truly remarkable feat of engineering.
