The 7-day Mallorca itinerary begins in Palma, the gateway to the island and the perfect place to understand the living history of the capital.
The majestic Palma Cathedral stands proudly by the sea as one of Europe's most impressive Gothic cathedrals. Built between the 13th and 17th centuries, its silhouette dominates the bay. The enormous rose window, with over 1,200 pieces of glass, projects a changing light that transforms the interior depending on the time of day.
The combination of medieval architecture with contemporary interventions makes the visit a complete experience. It's ideal to dedicate at least an hour to explore it without rushing.

The Almudaina Palace is right next door. Just a 2-minute walk across the square.

Head towards the old town on foot through the cobbled streets (10 minutes).
The unique Bellver Castle stands out for its circular design, something exceptional in Europe. Built in the 14th century, it served as a royal residence and a prison. From the rooftop, you get a privileged view of Palma, the bay, and the Serra de Tramuntana in the distance.

After visiting the castle, you can return to the historic centre by car or public transport. It will take about 20 minutes.

From the historic centre, you can take a taxi (15 minutes) or an urban bus to the Genova neighbourhood.
Less known than others we will see later, the Genova Caves offer an underground experience right in the urban environment. Descending through their galleries allows you to discover stalactites and natural formations in a more intimate setting than other caves on the island.

The second day of this Mallorca guide for 7 days takes you to the southern side of the Serra de Tramuntana.
The charming village of Valldemossa is one of the most picturesque on the island. Its cobbled streets, stone facades, and flower-filled balconies create a romantic atmosphere.

Sóller is a small, typical Mallorcan town in the northwest of the island. Surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, it is famous for its modernist heritage, its citrus production, and its unique historical connection with the port. It is well worth strolling through its main square and visiting the Church of Sant Bartomeu.
You can drive to Sóller, but for a unique experience, take the Sóller Train, a wooden railway from 1912 that travels through tunnels and almond groves. It departs from Plaza de España in Palma.
If you have time, take the wooden tram from the centre of Sóller down to the port. It's well worth it.
Here's a guide on what to do in Sóller so you can explore more attractions in this destination.

Once in Sa Calobra, access to the Torrent de Pareis is on foot through tunnels carved into the rock. There you'll find the mouth of the torrent, where the cliffs form a spectacular natural canyon opening to the sea.
Drive back towards Sóller via the same road. It's about 45 minutes, so allow plenty of time.
After a day of mountains, sea, and an unforgettable drive, seek some calm in the evening. You can find it in Port de Sóller, with dinner by the sea and a night-time stroll along its promenade.

The last day of this 7-day itinerary in Mallorca is dedicated to discovering the island's interior.
Within the Pla de Mallorca region, Sineu is known for its weekly market, which boasts being the oldest on the island and for having been a royal residence in the Middle Ages. It has been held every Wednesday since 1306, keeping Mallorcan rural tradition alive. It's also a perfect place to enjoy a good frit mallorquí, one of the most typical dishes of the area.
Drive about 20 minutes to Binissalem, passing through beautiful rural scenery.
Binissalem is the island's wine heart and one of the villages that best preserves traditional Mallorcan stone architecture. If you're looking for authenticity and tradition, a winery tasting is one of the best ways to end your week-long Mallorca experience.
Return to the village at sunset for a relaxed dinner in its main square, a very pleasant setting with a local atmosphere.
Since you'll be leaving tomorrow, enjoy a quiet dinner in Binissalem itself, in the island's interior. It's the perfect way to say goodbye to your trip.
