Audio Guide of Parque de la Mar

Parque de la Mar is a public urban park, so it is generally open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, with no time restrictions. You can access it freely for a walk, to relax, or to enjoy the views.

Good news! Access to Parque de la Mar is completely free, as it is a public space. You do not need to buy a ticket to enjoy its facilities and atmosphere.If you would like more information about the park, you can check the official Consell de Mallorca page.

The length of your visit may vary depending on your interests. For a relaxed walk and to enjoy the views, about 30 to 60 minutes will be enough. If you also want to sit and relax, have a drink on the terraces, or enjoy street performances when available, you could spend one or two more hours there.

Parque de la Mar was created in the 1970s after the construction of the highway linking the airport with central Palma, with the aim of reclaiming the space between the city wall and the sea, which had been buried. Its importance lies in the fact that it serves as a green lung and a key leisure space for the city, while also offering a privileged view of Palma Cathedral and the old walls, bringing together Palma’s past and present.

The best time to visit Parque de la Mar is early in the morning or at sunset, when the light is more beautiful and the temperatures are milder, especially in summer. During spring and autumn, the weather is ideal for enjoying it at any time, and there are usually fewer tourists than in the height of summer.

Yes, Parque de la Mar is designed with accessibility in mind. It has wide, flat paths, ramps, and an absence of steps in most areas, making access easier for wheelchair users and people with strollers. It is an inclusive place for all visitors to enjoy.

From Parque de la Mar, some of Palma’s most iconic attractions are just a short walk away. Right next to it you will find the majestic Palma Cathedral (La Seu), the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, and the Gothic Quarter with its charming streets. You can also stroll along the seafront promenade that runs along the bay.

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking and, if you visit in summer, do not forget sunscreen and water. Take the opportunity to sit on a bench and admire the cathedral or the artificial lake with its ducks. If there is an event or festival in the city, the park is often used as a venue, so check the local calendar!
