The Port of Palma has become a major cruise port with many cruise ships departing from Palma for Mediterranean cruises. Some cruise lines offer packages of one week cruise out of Palma and one week holiday on one of the Islands resorts.

In the distance is the La Seu Cathedral, one of many interesting buildings in the ancient City of Palma.

The City of Palma tends to attract tourists more interested in culture as its nightlife, although often described as being vibrant, doesn't have all night karaoke bars or foam parties.
