Audio Guide of Palma Cathedral

Mallorca Cathedral, known as La Seu, usually opens Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. It is closed on Sundays. I recommend checking the latest opening hours on its official website before your visit, as they may vary seasonally or due to special events. The main visitor entrance is located on the south façade.

The general admission price for tourists visiting Palma Cathedral is €10, which includes the museum. Admission is free for Mallorca residents who can provide proof of residence. There are also special rates for groups. You can find more details and buy your tickets online through the official ticket page.

For a full visit to Palma Cathedral and its museum, I recommend allowing between 1.5 and 2 hours. That will give you enough time to appreciate its impressive Gothic architecture, the rose windows, Gaudí’s chapel, and the museum’s artworks at a relaxed pace. If you use an audio guide, you will be able to explore the details and curiosities at your own pace.

Palma Cathedral is a true historical and cultural treasure. It is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Europe, built on the site of what was once a mosque. Its stunning rose window, the 'Eye of Gothic,' one of the largest in the world, and the interventions by architect Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century make it a meeting point between tradition and innovation, reflecting centuries of Mallorca’s history.

The best time to visit Palma Cathedral is early in the morning, just after opening, to avoid crowds, especially in high season, such as summer and Holy Week. If you want to witness the light spectacle known as the 'Eight'—the reflection of the main rose window on the opposite wall—I recommend visiting around November 11 or February 2, or any sunny day at midday if you are lucky with the position of the sun.

Yes, Palma Cathedral has improved its accessibility in recent years. There are ramps and lifts available to facilitate access to most visitor areas, including the museum. However, due to the age of the building, some areas may still have steps. If you have any specific needs, I suggest contacting them directly before your visit at +34 971 713 133.

Palma Cathedral is located in the heart of the historic center, so there are many attractions within easy walking distance. Right next door, you can explore the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and stroll through Parc de la Mar with views over the bay. You also have the fascinating old town with its noble courtyards, the Lonja of Mallorca, and the shopping and restaurant area, ideal for rounding off your day.

To make the most of your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as you will do quite a bit of walking. Consider bringing a camera to capture the beauty of the place, but keep in mind that photography may be restricted in certain areas. Download a free audio guide, or rent one on site, to better understand the history and details. And of course, do not forget to look up and admire the ceilings and stained glass windows—they are breathtaking!
