Palma de Mallorca

Palma's cruise port is the busiest in the Balearic Islands and sits on the southern side of the bay, with six terminals split between two areas: the Poniente and Paraires Quays, connected to the city centre by a long marina-front boulevard, and the more distant Dique del Oeste piers further south. Depending on which terminal a ship uses, the old town is either a roughly 15-minute drive, a longer but manageable 45-minute walk along the curving seafront, or reachable by taxi and local bus. Palma's international airport sits only around 8 to 12km from the port, which makes the city a popular embarkation point as well as a port of call.
