Audio Guide of Mallorca Cathedral

Mallorca Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Palma, is usually open 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 to tourist visits on Sundays. I recommend always checking the latest opening hours on the official website before your visit, as they may vary due to special events. You can find more details here: Mallorca Cathedral Opening Hours.

The general admission price to visit Mallorca Cathedral is €8. Mallorca residents can enter free of charge by presenting an identity document. Reduced rates are also available for groups and children. It is advisable to buy tickets online to avoid queues; you can do so here: Buy tickets.

To fully enjoy Mallorca Cathedral and appreciate its architecture, museum, and terrace (if available), I recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours. That will give you enough time to admire every detail and Gaudí’s work.

Mallorca Cathedral is stunning for its Gothic rose window, one of the largest in the world, known as the 'Eye of Gothic'. You should also not miss the restoration and liturgical adaptation carried out by Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century, which gave it a unique character. Its construction began in 1229 on the site of a former mosque.

The best time to visit Mallorca Cathedral, if you want to avoid the largest crowds, is early in the morning right when it opens, or late in the afternoon before closing. As for the time of year, the low season (autumn and winter, excluding holidays) is usually quieter than the summer months. Do not miss the rose window’s 'figure-eight spectacle', which takes place twice a year, on February 2 and November 11.

Yes, Mallorca Cathedral is largely adapted for people with reduced mobility. It has ramps and a lift that makes access to different areas easier. However, some older or elevated areas may have limitations. If you have specific questions, you can contact them for more information: +34 971 713 133.

Around the cathedral, you are in the heart of Palma’s old town, so there is plenty to see. Right next door is the Royal Palace of La Almudaina. You can also stroll along Passeig del Born, visit the La Lonja district, or explore the narrow streets of the historic center, full of shops and restaurants. The Bay of Palma is also just a short walk away.

Of course! I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as there is a lot to see and plenty of walking. Consider using an audio guide or joining a guided tour to better understand the cathedral’s history and details. And of course, do not forget your camera to capture the beauty of the place. Oh, and always respect the rules about where photography is or is not allowed!
