A Weekend in Palma de Mallorca: The 2-Day Itinerary
Palma de Mallorca is a compact town, which suits a one-day visit: you can cover a lot without rushing. Think of this as a sketch of a day in Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears: where to start, where to eat twice, and how to end the evening. Every stop is a real place you can look up right now.

Day 1: the essentials
The first day is about orientation: see the town, eat well, get your bearings. Day two is for lingering.
Puig de sa Moneda
For orientation plus a view, head to Puig de sa Moneda. It's worth the detour even on a tight schedule.
Museu Històric Militar
Plan the middle of the day around Museu Històric Militar. It's also a practical stop: shade, seating, and a café nearby when you need a rest.
Day 2: go deeper
Day two goes deeper: the additional sights, plus a slower morning.
50 anys de Costa d'en Blanes
50 anys de Costa d'en Blanes is one of those Palma de Mallorca landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
8M Dia internacional de les dones 2018
Don't skip 8M Dia internacional de les dones 2018. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
