The Tourist Information Office (tel: (971) 720 720) organises guided walking tours on such themes as ‘The City and the Sea', ‘Monumental Palma' and ‘Modernism in Palma', and an evening stroll entitled ‘The Stories and Legends of Palma'. Or take to the water with Cruceros Marco Polo (tel: (971) 242 006), one of several boat companies offering daily tours of the Bay of Palma.

The Palma City Sightseeing Bus (website: www.city-sightseeing.com) is a hop-on-hop-off service, leaving every 20 minutes from 16 bus-stops at the main sights around the city. For a more leisurely and romantic mode of transport, smart, red galeras (horse-drawn carriages) offer an hour-long tour of the old town, starting beside the cathedral, or in Carrer Palau Reial, Avinguda d'Antoni Maura and Passeig Sagrera.
