Why go
This route suits a first visit to Palma when you want the city’s long history without crossing town repeatedly. La Seu and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina face each other, so allow unhurried time at both before walking east through the old streets. The Arab Baths offer a smaller, quieter change of scale; Museu de Mallorca then puts objects and local history around the buildings you have just seen. All four stops are close enough for a walking day. Check each interior’s current visiting arrangements before setting out, and leave room for breaks between the larger visits.
