Amazing beautiful little beach! Not easy to get to if you’re not fully mobile (from our direction anyway) We parked about a kilometer away to the north in a large free car park! Walk down to a beach bar then access the first beach and up n over via a very uneven ground to get to the smaller beach! But it was soooo worth it! The water was cold but being British this didn’t bother us🤣. I was able to climb the rocks and dive in a few times which was very fun😊 The were jellyfish in the area ( on a few & mostly the safer ones but there was a couple pelagia noctiluca which can sting pretty bad) But it was all fine no issues! Great swimming and bathing! Got there early and it was almost empty but started to fill up quite a bit by 12ish we left around 1pm walked back to the bar restaurant on the next beach on to the car stopping for a pizza and a beer which was also pretty good! The kilometer walk back up hill to the car wasn’t too bad as it was shaded by the trees! The road however ( I am told closes in the hight is summer ) was very narrow and some drivers were a bit rubbish at slowing down and moving over!! Apparently there is a bus from the city I think which may suit some but not me! A moped would be great to get here I think best! Overall a really nice beach!

Breathtaking beach with crystal clear turqoise water. It is an amazing snorkeling spot with colorful wildlife. It can be reached by foot or by swimming/ kayaking from the neighbouring beaches. The path from the Macarella has some quite challangeing terrain, so good hiking shoes are a must. There are no facilities here, only a guy with a cooler selling some drinks during high season.

Prettier than nearby Macarella, an unspoilt setting with crystal clear waters. In the height of summer i’d recommend coming later in the day (4pm onwards) so you’re not walking there in the heat and can enjoy a bit more space and tranquility on this small but very pretty cove.

Amazing small beach. We walked from cala Galdana about 50 min.

Fantastic little beach, just a few minutes from the Macarella beach. Macarella beach can be reached in 15-20 minutes from Cala Galdana depending on footwear, level of fitness and how hot it is. The path is like a dried up river bed, very uneven with lots of rocks and roots to avoid. Path from Macarella to Macaralleta is quite steep in places, with steps cut into the rock face. Wear good footwear. Had a sunrise dip here. As the bay is east facing it gets the morning sun first. Seabed is sandy and gently sloping. Super place for a dip (although something else swimming in the cove stung me!) so do be warned!

A really nice beach but also very crowded.

My favorite beach. We went around 10:00 am. You can walk to the beach from Playa Galdana, which takes about 35 minutes. The path is easy to follow, even in flip-flops. It's still quite busy, even at the end of September, but it's worth it!

I had a car rented during my holiday on the island, but unfortunately I couldn't use it to rich Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarelleta. Starting with June until end of September the access to these two caves with car is impossible but with bus only. This is because the parking spaces are limited on these 2 beaches and the acces from the main road/highway to them is very narrow. So, the best way to reach to the beaches from whatever you are located in Ciutadella, Cala n Bosch, Cala Blanca is to reach the bus station "Via Perimetral" - Ciutadella . From here you can take bus Nr. 68 to Turqueta or bus Nr. 69 to Macarelleta. It cost 10 Euros per person covering both ways for each destination. Once arrived , you will need to walk for up to 15 min. through forrest to reach the sea. It s worthed, the water is pristine, beautiful colour, silence. Enjoy. Ps: Don t forget to return in time to your scheduled bus.

We parked at Son Bou and walked the coastal path to Cala Turqueta. It took an hour or so each way but meant parking was easy. It’s a beautiful beach but was pretty busy, even in early October on a weekday.

Cala en Turqueta is a true hidden gem! The water is unbelievably clear and beautifully blue, perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery, making it feel like a peaceful oasis away from the crowds. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy nature, and soak up the stunning views. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area!

Cala en Torqueta is one of the most beautiful coves of the island, we reached it thanks to a boat excursion and we have no idea if outside the beach are available some kind of service, inside the beach there is only a lifeguard station and no more, you must have your own umbrella. The sand is white and there are lots of panoramic point where you can take photos and dive from it. This is one of the most recommended coves of the all island. You must see it.

Don’t go here. Unless youre planning to go at 05.00!!! We arrived around 9.30 but parking was already full and the people made us leave.

There is 20 mins walk to the beach. The parking is free but limited to probably 200. The parking is also attended and you will be guided to the next parking spot. At the car park there is bar which sales food/snacks and drinks (Only cash though). You can also take your shower there (1€ per minute of water in a coin drop in box). It is really worth to visit it. Bear in mind if the car park is full it probably means the beach is also packed up. But the water is usually really clear and the scenery is mindblowing - Thanks god for the best there is no concrete there....

Beautiful place to go. Try to be early (get there before 8AM) since it can be limited (mostly due to COVID measures). In high season, sometimes it can get full at 7:30. There's a small serving cafeteria at the parking with some snacks, although, bring your own is more recommended. A note on this beach: rather crowded and it smells a bit due to a mangrove at the back of the beach.

Cala Agulla is a really nice beach with beautiful landscapes to admire! The sand is soft and white, and the water is super clear. It's great that there are bars and showers available. A quick tip: arrive early to secure a good parking spot and a prime location for your towel or a sunbed. Just a heads-up though, it can get very crowded, and there can sometimes be a lot of algae in the water.

Beautiful beach with breathtaking views! The beach gets really busy, but mainly the first 2/3 of the beach. The last part of the beach is significantly better- very clean, with a lot of space and definitely quieter as it is close to the forest and away from the beach bars. The water is crystal clear - you can see many fish. The sand is clean. The forest with the beautiful trees and the turquoise waters make for an unforgettable view and pictures.

What a lovely beach and surrounding area. Absolutely stunning beach for sunbathing and swimming. Clear waters with fish which are visible with the naked eye. Great rock pool with sea life in. Overall brilliant place. Lifeguard on duty also bar/cafe nearby.

I am currently here on July 23rd, 2025. Arrived around 10:45 and it was packed but we found a good spot up front. This is the third beach we’ve been to in Mallorca and I love it! The sand is very fine! There are large rocks in the sand in certain places but you can walk over them to find a spot to set up. The water is perfect! It’s very shallow For a while. You have to walk out somewhat far to not be able to touch the bottom. Which is great for little kids!!! Lots of Families and just couples are here. The water is calm, even when it is a little windy! No real waves. The water is my Favorite thing about this beach! I was able to use my float without getting crushed by waves. It’s Also crystal clear with no seaweed or debris. Water wasn’t warm but wasn’t cold either. It was cool. It’s not a very hot day together and we’ve had intermittent rain(just sprinkles). There are two lifeguards on duty which is concerning since there are so many people at this beach. No way they’d be able to save anyone. There are sun beds and umbrellas for rental. They are at the back of the beach but it’s not a wide beach which is good. Not sure the cost as we had our own umbrella and towels. There are water sport activities for rent such as paddle boarding and paddle boats with a slide. There are several beach bars that sell reasonably priced drinks and baguettes and sandwiches.beers were about 3-4 euro. Mixed drinks about 9 euros. Baguettes and sandwiches are about 5-6 euro. There’s also a sit down restaurant with a bathroom. If you are a customer, the bathroom is free but if you are not, it’s 1 euro. The bathrooms are clean and there is an attendant! Another favorite thing is that behind us are just dunes and next to us are mountains. It’s a beautiful view! There are hotels on the other side but the view is covered by trees. Parking is a pain as it’s hard to find parking close. We got lucky and found a spot about a 5 minute walk. Not too bad but with little ones it’s not ideal. One thing I didn’t care for was the smell. The seaweed smell isn’t pleasant but it’s tolerable. Overall, it’s worth visiting!

A very nice beach indeed. Good services at the beach, like life guard and small bar for drinks and ice cream. Also the possibility of renting beach chairs and parasols. The sand is mostly clean, besides the occasional algae and at least when we visited in October it wasn’t very crowded. Recommended. 🏝️☀️😁

Clear warm water pink sand, beautiful beach to say the least. Gets a bit crowded and you might need to park your car a bit further, but you wont mind that unless you are a spoiled brat. Beach is 10/10

The water was crystal clear, the sand soft, and the views were stunning. It felt peaceful even with other visitors around. Great spot to unwind and soak up the sun. Can’t wait to go back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic trip! There were no online tickets left, so we went there in person and easily bought tickets for 3 p.m. We arrived around noon, which gave us time to visit the pearl factory and explore the lovely town of Porto Cristo – a great place to grab some lunch before heading to the caves. The caves themselves are absolutely stunning – amazing rock formations, beautiful lighting, and a magical atmosphere. At the end, there was a live classical music concert performed from a boat on the underground lake. Visitors can either take a short boat ride or walk out on foot. The site is partly accessible for people with disabilities, though there are quite a few stairs. There’s also a large free car park right next to the entrance. A truly wonderful experience – definitely worth a visit!

The Drach Caves are an unforgettable experience. The tour is quite long and absolutely worth it: the caves are stunning, well maintained, and beautifully lit to highlight every rock formation. It’s a bit chilly inside, so bring a sweatshirt to stay comfortable throughout the visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions. The final part is pure magic: the musical concert in the dark, with illuminated boats gliding on the water and a four-piece orchestra playing instrumental music, is simply breathtaking. It’s worth every euro spent just for that moment alone. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that gives you goosebumps and stays with you forever.

Very good experience. Queue went quick when we entered. When we got inside the caves, the staff were very quick to move you and could only take pictures at certain points. After going through and got to the end, there is a musical concert. Pictures aren't allowed and staff make sure that you don't take any. To be honest, it's better, probably the whole point of enjoyment. After it was finished, two options of leaving, boat or walk. Most people picked the boat option and took about 20 minutes. Worth it I suppose.

Iconic and historical Caves These are fabulous caves to visit and quite impressive considering their sheer size. We enjoyed going down to visit with my family and friends and were stunned by their beauty. What set this experience apart I believe is that, this is actually on an island, which I had never encountered before. Granted it is a big island but still very stunning and the lake was great to see with that crystal clear water. Drach Caves were amazing to visit, highly recommended!

Tha cave is just stunning, but too many people at the same time and all the time gides said: move, move, move, whitch a bit bothering and don't give you the chance to really enjoy. We spend just 1 hour inside, could have been more for this price. Vonderful classic music concert in the cave was a great surpruse. After all, great memories and impressions

Incredible. I've visited cave formations across the world, and this one tops them all. Amazing formations, well thought out experience and very enjoyable. As you walk through th various caves, you simply don't known where to look next as you eyes are drawn to the various calcified structures. The caves also look very deep in places, so be careful if tempted to learn over the barriers. Really enjoyed the concert and amazing to see the little rowing boats move visitors around in the lake.

The Dragon Cave is truly extraordinary—a massive underground wonder with stunning formations and a breathtaking underground lake. The highlight is the live classical music performance by the water, which feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On the flip side, this is one of Mallorca’s most popular tourist attractions, so expect big crowds. You’re guided through the cave rather quickly, and then have to wait while around 500 people are seated before the concert begins. Still, despite the downsides of a very touristy spot, the cave itself is absolutely worth seeing. Just go prepared for the crowds and enjoy the beauty of this unique place.

Beautiful beach with shallow turquoise waters, in a protected area. In April it was very dirty under piles of algae. And they collect 5 euro for parking, no matter if you want to stay 1 hour or all day. Also, the last 2 km of road is very narrow. In summer, when the traffic is heavy, it won't be fun.

A very beautiful and interesting beach. But it doesn't deserve all five stars for several reasons. The first thing to pay is to enter the parking lot. Secondly, black algae collects in some parts of the water. Third, there is only one small modest bar where you can buy a drink or a snack. But in general, the water is clear, clean, shallow for children and very pleasant for swimming. Yachts are anchored not far from the coast, which means that many people come here to swim. The beach is clean and spacious, so there are no big crowds. In my opinion, it is worth taking the time to come for two or three hours and then go to the next beach.

A very nice long sandy beach, during the day surely very crowded in August. We were there in the evening (a very good spot for sunsets), then it was bearable. Parking fee is 5 euros for cars, no matter when you arrive, and the parking lot closes at 9 p.m. The access road to the parking lot is a long narrow street with a lot of oncoming traffic. The toilets at the beach entrance were the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced in my life – filthier than at any festival. Supposedly the place is a nature reserve, but there is a lot of trash lying around.

Very beautiful beach with a large parking lot 3 minutes from the beach with a fixed fee of €8 for a day, for those who say that the road to the parking lot is narrow and that parking is expensive, I don't know what world you live in.

For the end of October we found this beach very dirty. If you don’t want to pay the €8 for parking, you can park for free in Colonia Saint Jordi, on Av. Primavera, on the white lines and then walk to the beach. But better choose the more beautiful beaches from the south of the island, like Cala Santanyi, Llombards or Moro.

Don’t waste time on your trip to visit this beach. There are many beaches with clear water that you don’t have to pay for parking. Also this beach has absolutely no shade anywhere. No showers, no bathroom, no changing rooms. When I visited the amount of seaweed made the water like mud.

you don't have showers. you don't have toilets. parking is 8€ all day and extremely hot. it is recommended to take an umbrella and drinking water. in return the beach is very beautiful with a smooth entrance and crystal clear water.

Amazing beach with a very wide shore—plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view!

Beautiful sandy beach with shallow waters stretching far into the sea – perfect for families with children. However, it is somewhat poorly maintained, lacks lifeguard supervision, and offers no natural shade, so an umbrella or beach tent is essential. It also tends to be quite crowded. In addition, there are many illegal beach vendors, though they are generally not very pushy. We visited with two children (3 and 8), who still had a wonderful time swimming and building sandcastles.

A wonderful place — a large beach with very clean water. We visited on a cloudy day, but it's still an amazing spot.👍👍👍

This is one of the best beaches on the island. We’ve visited here twice. Once in 2020 and again this week. The beach sand is almost white, the sea is clear as day, deep blue a few feet beyond that. A lovely boardwalk that goes out a fair way. Lots of green trees scattered amongst the sand, restaurants are in good supply too. Has to be on the list of places to visit when you come to muro.

Absolutely beautiful beach if not a little busy but you can't blame folk for wanting to spend time in such a picturesque spot.

Definitely beach that we enjoyed the most. Beautiful blue see and sandy beach. It also has a lot of chairs and umbrellas, price is 21€ for 2 chairs and an umbrella which comes with a safe to put your things.

Nice Beach This is a great beach but we thought there were too many people and also it was not shallow enough for us. It goes deep pretty fast. Still nice but not what we were looking for.

Beautiful sandy beach. It is suitable for children. The sea is shallow and not deep. The water in the sea is warm, more than 28 Celsius. There are bars, toilets on the beach. It is possible to rent bed and umbrella for an extra fee.

Beautiful white sandy beach. Near the marina, the water is very shallow, perfect for small children. Lots of free toilet blocks along the main stretch - all clean and there are outside showers for hosing off sandy feet. Parasols and loungers available - council run so prices the same along the whole beach. Various pedalos and SUP's to hire but area of use quite small. Sightseeing boats trips pick up at the 3 piers along the beach as well as the marina. Independent each bars at the marina end of the beach, as most of the bay is hotel fronted but more basic cafe's forming part of the toilet blocks. Due to the size, the beach didnt feel too busy.

Alcudia Beach is a lovely spot with soft sand, clean warm water, and plenty of space to relax. Since it’s right in town, there are lots of shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby. Parking is easy too, with many options around—some paid, some free. A convenient and very enjoyable beach day. 🏖🏐

Cristal white sandy beach. Not deep. Suitable for small kids. There are paid beds, some atractions

Very nice beach. One of the best beaches I’ve been to

Really long beach, beautiful scenery. A lot of rental chairs but sections in-between and in front to set up your own towels. Calm water as a bit sheltered. They have an accessible section with a board walk out to the water. Well maintained. Beach cafes with toilets every so often too. With baby changing tables! Showers along the boardwalk too

Love love love it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Umbrellas very cheap so you don'thave to carry so many things when you come here... Wonderful 🌊... Amazed by the color and impolluted water. Coming back soon.

Beautiful place and easy to get to on public transport. Plenty of places for food, and the quaint little shops are lovely to look around! The walk round the wall was also breath taking, and the view from the top is definitely worth it.

A must visit if you’re in the island of Mallorca, Spain. Walked along the iconic medieval wall for panoramic views, had the most delicious seafood lunch and drove for 10/15 minutes to see the stunning view at la Victoria beach.

The old town of Alcúdia is absolutely worth a visit! 📸🌴 Narrow streets, historic buildings, and a charming atmosphere make walking around a real highlight. Perfect for strolling, discovering little cafés, and soaking up the Mediterranean vibe 👍

A simply amazing place with lots of culture, great bus access and why not stop off at the port as well. Nice stroll and some cool shops just respect the area and the locals, places like this need protecting!

Lovely part of town with a gentle stroll through the streets. Good choice of bars, cafes and restaurants and some lovely shops too. Parking can be tricky sometimes but worth a visit.

Beautiful old town with lots of history. Lots of boutique style shops as well.as the usual tourist shops. Some lovely restaurants too. We also went to.the near by Roman ruins. All.well.worth a day out with something for everyone!

Stunning little place. Market day is heaving, takes over an hour to get a taxi or on a bus so plan well!! Not much outside of the old town that we found, but hot & had kids with us so didn't venture too far - couple of lovely local clothes shops about 5 mins walk away.

I recommend to get here early we were there at 09H45 and got straight in. When we left there were huge queues. It's a very good aquarium, lots to look at and do. I only rated it 4 stars as we missed the Mediterranean gardens and went straight to the jungle, the staff were ushering families that way but not us. The shark tank is good but its sad to see theese beautiful animals in captivity. All accessible for wheelchair users its a great place to visit for a few hours. I recommend going early on a rainy day to kill a few hours

On Monday, we visited the Palma Aquarium on the coach which is included in the price (we booked through Jet2, who are based in the hotel) and had an absolutely fantastic day! There’s so much to see and do — and we even did one of the extras: the bottom glass boat ride in the shark tank. It was €12 each and definitely worth it! I believe under 3s go free (but double check just in case). My little one had a fantastic day. It is one of the best aquariums I have been to there is so much to do for all ages! Staff were lovely and helpful throughout the day!

We visited Palma Aquarium in Mallorca for the first time, and overall, it was a nice experience. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the place is well organized. The highlight for us was definitely the shark tank – it was fascinating to see them up close! The ticket also included a 3D cinema with a short film about whales that lasts around 10–15 minutes, which was interesting and enjoyable, especially for kids. I would recommend visiting with young children, as there are many different species of fish and sea creatures to see. The only downside is the ticket price, which I find quite expensive considering you can go through the entire aquarium in less than an hour.

Beautiful Aquarium. Its nice place to spend time with family and children. Clean easy to navigate in areal. A plenty of beautiful and colorful fish and corals from different seas. Plus is as well rainforest garden and medittarean garden. There are options for snack and food in reasonable prices. Clean and tidy toilets. We booked tickets online and went around 11.00 on weekday so there wasn t mmy people . Ticket price its worth it . Thank you for nice spend day.

30 Euros for adults but there are some package deals on their website that include some of the 'extras' like a shark boat or 3D cinema etc. We opted for straight entry for 3 adult tickets and received ten Euros off. It's a quality aquarium kept spotlessly clean and tidy. There are lots and lots of small to medium sized viewing tanks as you wander an obvious route. The glass magnifies them so you get to appreciate the colours and detail and they have a superb selection. Initially its very dark. So much so that you can easily bump into people but then your eyes eventually adjust. The more popular tanks have a bit of a wait to get to the front as you would expect but totally worth it. Even the souvenir shop at the end has some really good stuff!

Enjoyed the aquarium but it's way too expensive for the time I spent walking around everything (90 mins). No turtles on display but the two big tanks were amazing, the informative information was very good. More aimed at children in general and trying to upsell photographs, gifts from the shop which is disappointing.

Very well preserved Aquarium with a lot to explore, extra activities and plenty of fun to have for the kids. Offering varied themes even a jungle and generous outside space to wonder around or to just take a break and have a bite to eat. It is a bit expensive but give the experience worth it and if you come in the afternoon you can benefit from a online ticketing discount.

When I visited Mallorca, seeing the Catedral-Basílica de Santa María (La Seu) was non-negotiable, and I’m so glad I went. It is one of the most stunning Gothic buildings I have ever seen. What really blew me away was its dramatic location—it sits right on the edge of the old city walls overlooking the sea, and the sheer scale of the architecture is breathtaking from the moment you approach it. I spent a long time just admiring the exterior. Inside, it was all about the light. The most famous feature is the enormous rose window, often called "The Gothic Eye." If you can time your visit right, the way the light streams through the glass and illuminates the massive, airy interior is just magical. I was also really interested to see the modernist input by Antoni Gaudí near the altar—it adds a fascinating, unexpected touch to the medieval space. Honestly, if you are in Palma, you absolutely have to schedule time for this. It’s not just a beautiful church; it’s a powerful piece of art and history that truly defines the city skyline.

We entered here with no expectations but the building definitely implies something spectacular inside. It does not disappoint. It is very busy inside but there is peace and tranquility to be found. You can have a quiet moment of reflection and find out so much fascinating history.

A must-visit in Palma — the £10 (approx. €10) entry fee is genuinely worth it. The Cathedral of Mallorca delivers everything you hope for: breathtaking architecture, rich history, and a serene atmosphere that makes it much more than just another tourist stop. From the moment you step in, the grandeur of the Gothic nave and the soaring stained glass windows grab your attention. Even on the standard ticket (which you noted is the cheapest option), you’re able to take in the key highlights — no hidden upsell required to appreciate the core experience. The cost-to-value ratio is excellent. The staff were courteous and helpful, and the location in Palma de Mallorca is hard to beat. If you’re in the area, set aside at least an hour. Bring your camera, perhaps a bit of quiet reflection time, and enjoy one of the most emblematic buildings in the Mediterranean. Highly recommended — excellent value, well preserved and beautifully presented.

It’s our first time in Mallorca, and we immediately visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria, which is very close to our accommodation. The place is beautiful and offers a truly special experience. There are always many tourists around, but that only shows how popular and worthwhile this location is. The cathedral itself is impressive, monumental, and wonderfully preserved. The view from it is even more stunning – you can see the entire marina with boats and large cruise ships, creating an incredible panorama and perfect photo opportunities. Overall, a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Mallorca. One of the places you simply shouldn’t miss!

Beside being a very important religious place, It is a great piece of architecture. It took 400 years to complete it. The famous architect Antoni Gaudi also contributes a lot. This beautiful Roman Catholic Church is located in the heart of Mallorca opposite seashore. it is the most visited place in Mallorca. The interior of Cathedral is amazing. The beautiful sculptures and stained colorful glass windows are worth seeing. The ambiance inside is very serene. The entry fee is 9 Euros. Not to be missed...

The Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca is absolutely breathtaking an architectural masterpiece and a must-visit in Palma. The interior is stunning, filled with incredible light, color, and detail that truly leave you in awe. Tickets must be purchased online, which is very easy to do, and cost €10 per person. well worth it for the experience. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just want to take in one of the most beautiful spots on the island, this cathedral is unforgettable.

Absolutely a beautiful and stunning place to visit. It looks spectacular when you are outside looking at it and the artificial lake/park around it make it scenic. You have to buy the ticket online and they do limit the number of people entering so it does not seem overwhelming inside. There is another museum behind the cathedral that you can visit for a nominal fee and it is highly recommended as well. You will spend 2-3 hours here.

Absolutely amazing castle. Great museums in multiple languages. It's a step walk up there and lots of climbing. But well worth it. An historic monument that Palma can be very proud of. Normally only 4 euro entrance fee (bargain), but free on Sunday (even better bargain!!). Absolutely recommended.

Castell de Bellver, whose name literally translates to 'beautiful view' in old Catalan, is an absolute must-see when visiting Palma. Its unique circular Gothic design—the only one of its kind in Spain—sets it apart immediately. Perched on a forested hill about three kilometers west of the city center, the castle offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of the entire Bay of Palma, the city's harbor, and the distant Tramuntana mountains. The main draw is walking the rooftop battlements, where you can fully appreciate the scale of the structure and the vistas. Inside, the central circular courtyard is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, and the ground floor houses the City History Museum. Beyond its royal history, the castle served as a military prison for centuries, adding a layer of dramatic history. While getting up the hill requires a little effort (or a bus ride), the payoff in views and historical significance makes it well worth the trip.

Castell de Bellver – A Panoramic Gem Above Palma We visited Castell de Bellver as part of our 48-hour City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our Palma itinerary. The bus dropped us right near the entrance, making access effortless and scenic—winding through pine-covered hills with glimpses of the sea. The castle itself is a rare circular fortress with Gothic architecture and a commanding view over the Bay of Palma. Its unique design and elevated position make it feel like a watchtower over centuries of history. Inside, the museum offers a compact but rich narrative of Palma’s past, and the central courtyard is a peaceful spot to pause and soak in the atmosphere. What truly stood out was the panoramic terrace—360° views that stretch from the Tramuntana mountains to the cathedral and port. It’s a photographer’s dream and a moment of quiet majesty above the bustle below. Entry was included with our bus ticket, which made the experience feel even more seamless and well-integrated. If you’re doing the hop-on hop-off tour, this stop is absolutely worth it—both for the history and the views.

For €4 it is great value. This is a truly memorable visit. Situated atop a wooded hill just outside Palma, the Castell de Bellver offers sweeping panoramic views of the city, the bay and the Mediterranean—a fitting interpretation of its name, which translates as “beautiful view”. The castle itself is remarkable. Built around 1300–1310 for King James II of Mallorca, it stands as one of the few circular-plan castles in Europe and certainly the only one of its kind in Spain. Wandering the interior courtyard, ramparts and the keep you can really sense its mix of royal residence and fortress. Inside you’ll also find a well-curated city history museum, providing insights into Palma’s evolution from ancient times to the present day. The forest around the castle adds a relaxing walk-up through pine trees, making arrival feel more like an experience rather than just a stop. A few practical notes: Be prepared for some uphill walking if you approach on foot or via public transport. Visit during late afternoon if possible—the golden light enhances the castle’s stonework and the views-out become especially atmospheric. Allow enough time to explore both the exterior terrace and the museum inside. Check opening hours in advance (note: Mondays may be closed) and consider a guided tour to appreciate the architecture and history more fully.

As castles go I'd say this is generally a nice castle. 4 stars for 2 reasons....1) we couldn't access the tallest tower and nobody mentioned that. Just imagine the views... 2) I'd have loved to understand more about the castle but all the info boards were in spanish only (yes I know, its in Mallorca but its a tourist destination....help the tourists out!)....yes, technology allows translation easy enough but its the inconvenience. Anyway, the castle is set within a large park area full of trails, roads and lots of steps. I probably would not recommend tackling this place if you aren't too steady on your feet or have a wheelchair. We entered from the East side nearest the church. The steps up to the castle got the heart rate up for sure. We noticed lots of joggers using the park and bounding up the steps. We also noticed lots of tourists with tight tops looking a bit sweaty....loose clothing recommended. See pics for some idea of the mountainous ascent. Anyway, there's lots to see in the castle. Mostly statues. There was a wedding taking place when we were there. What a lovely setting indeed. One of the best part of visiting this castle was the incredible circular, almost Colosseum like central structure but beyond that the views. Simply stunning in all directions. Go on a clear day! Aside from that I wish we'd had more time to explore the grounds around the castle. Overall if you fancy taking a break away from the busy centre of Palma, then take a bus or taxi ( it takes no time from the centre) and enjoy taking in some breathtaking views and a wonderful piece of history.

Ate too much on this trip? Take a walk from the city center & climb up the endless stairs. You will find a treasure you did not know you were looking for. The only annoying thing is, once you arrive after that many stairs, they ask you to walk another a couple hundred meters to get a ticket. While walking over, cursing “ it better be worth it” , and it is. There is a museum, excellent views, not too many people unlike the Catedral, the ticket is only 4 euros. Now you feel better and thinking, you accomplished something today, and you did in a way ❤️

Marvelous castle settle on top of a hill with wonderful views of the city, the harbour and the sea. There's a parking place just in front of the entrance. Inside the castle there's a museum with the history of the castle , from the first human settlements till the last use like a jail in the past century. Very well preserved, so clean all around. A place to visit for it's importance in the history and because the surrounding views

Soller is a beautiful sea side town with several small local shops and restaurants. Its relaxing to just walk around, take in the beautiful views, enjoy the fresh air. We took the train into town, while the train was very full of people, it was a nice ride into town. Might be less crowded earlier. Great way to spend a day, enjoy a lunch and wander in and out of the shops. (It wasnt loaded with the shirt shops and souvenirs)

We had a lovely time catching the train from Palma to Soller. I would recommend purchasing your tickets in advance and getting to the station at least 30 minutes before the train is due if you want to sit together. People queue on the platform up to an hour before departure time. We arrived to get the 12 midday train but there were no tickets so we had to wait until 1.30pm which was fine. The train takes around an hour and the route is very scenic, it is an old wooden train. It was a really pleasant trip. There are many opportunities for great photos and videos along the way, through olives groves and mountain views. Would recommend, as it is a lovely trip. We were told by friends after that is is more cost effective to get the train there and the bus back, but we had already purchased return tickets. Once at Soller, you can get the tram down to the Port which was equally lovely.

This was a lovely excursion and the views were beautiful. You het the train from Palma the the tram down to Port Soller. Recommend buying tickets in advance as its very busy, however this is pointless for the trams as its a free for all. We were OK going down to the port but returning was awful! We were squashed on like sardines! There didn't seem to be anyone really stopping people from squeezing on! The experience was worth doing but make sure you don't value your personal space! We drive there later in the week and the views were better and space wasn't an issue. But we can say we've done it. The towns were beautiful though and definitely worth visiting.

Expensice but did not regret doing it. The train is slow, if you have other means of going to Soller you could just pay 10 euro from the tram to the port to get some of the experience. I would look at the timetable as the trains to and from Palma only runs at specific times. No need to buy tickets in advance for the train or tram, you can do it once you're on it.

The Sóller tram is a lovely and charming experience that we truly enjoyed. However, it's important to note that it gets extremely crowded. The current frequency of the trams doesn't seem sufficient to handle the massive volume of tourists, leading to significant congestion and wait times.

The train and tram ride from Palma to Port de Sóller offers a nostalgic journey through Mallorca’s stunning countryside. The historic wooden train, in service since 1912, travels 27 km through the Serra de Tramuntana, passing tunnels, bridges, and citrus groves. At Sóller, passengers transfer to a charming 1913 electric tram that winds through the town and down to the scenic harbor. Originally built to transport oranges, the route is now a beloved attraction. With vintage carriages and panoramic views, this ride combines history, culture, and natural beauty in one unforgettable experience.

Travelled by Train from Palma to Sóller and to the Port by Tram. Both places worth a couple or three hours. On returning to Sóller Train station, I found, in the old station building a free exhibition of the works of Picasso and Miro. There were great views from both the Train and the Tram.

Perfect for children—and for childlike adults, too! The oversized objects are very fun and entertaining. There are restrooms available as well. Just keep in mind that there are opening hours, and it closes in the evening.

This park has literally EVERYTHING: huge toy figures that delight children and adults alike (did I take a selfie with a cupcake, cake and croissant? Of course!), various playgrounds (some even have interactive stations), football/basketball court, picnic areas, skatepark, ping-pong tables, and even a small tower. I was honestly surprised that it was practically empty, because I'd have a blast in there as a kid/teen. There are public toilets (no toilet paper tho) and a water fountain.

Amazing park! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Malgrat de Mar. Its an easy walk from the seafront hotel we stayed at. Some really excellent play equipment, suitable for all ages really. Slides, swings, zip line, all different climbing and balance activities. Another area has music play equipment too.My 4 and 9 year old had a blast. Also has a skate park and basketball courts. Random massive models of food and stationary are a bit of fun and give fun photo opportunities. Could easily spend a whole morning or afternoon here.

Wow, Parc Francesc Macià in Malgrat de Mar is a family paradise! This massive 40,000m² park is a wonderland with giant pencil sculptures, zip lines, musical tiles, and epic slides that had my kids giggling non-stop. It’s super clean, fully fenced for safety, and perfect for a picnic under the shady trees. Pro tip: visit on a weekday to dodge the weekend crowds, and check parking rules if you’re not local (you might need a time disc). A must-visit on the Costa Brava for a fun, carefree day!

Nice and big park with lots of places for kids to play: skateboard area, football/basketball field, multiple playground areas (including sand excavator for kids), picnic area, colourful big decorations which kids love to interact with.

Plenty of shade, tables, benches. Lots of playground for kids of all ages. Fun statues and a nice restaurant. You can easily spend here half day;)!

Very nice parc with lots of fun areas for the little ones. The restaurant is also good.

This outlet has a great selection of stores, offering a variety of brands. Sometimes it feels like the prices aren’t discounted much, but if you look carefully, you can find some excellent deals. Each store also handles VAT refunds, which is very convenient for travelers. There’s a spacious underground parking lot with electric car charging stations, making it easy to visit by car. I wouldn’t recommend coming here hungry, though – the restaurants are quite poor and always crowded, so you’ll likely spend a long time waiting in line. Overall, for shopping, this is a fantastic place and probably the best outlet experience near Barcelona.

La Roca Village is a factory outlet located just a 30-minute drive from Barcelona. You can reach it by taking bus 405 from Ectacion Barcelona Nord for €18 round trip. Like its other sister company, under the Bicester Collection, I recommend this factory outlet because it houses many well-known, exclusive brands. The items available are seasonal and vary depending on individual tastes. Some stores sell their products at the same prices as their store on Passeig de Gràcia, but don't worry, they only carry select classics. If you're lucky, you might find products at very low special prices. Try your luck!

Very nice outlet where you can find affordable designers' brands for all ages. There are many busses going from Barcelona to this outlet every hour so it's easy to access it even if it's far from the center of Barcelona.

Loved this place! Great deals on high end brands like Gucci, Prada, Tori Burch, Lacoste, and many more!

One of the best destination in Barcelona Roca Village outletsver affordable prices for the best international brands for women, men, and kids. It's only 35 min drive from Barcelona You can take uber or by bus or drive yourself

La Roca Village in Barcelona is a fantastic shopping destination with a wide range of premium brands at great prices. You can enjoy delicious food and amazing sangria at various restaurants, making it the perfect spot to relax and recharge between shopping sprees. A must-visit for any shopper!

a famous luxury outlet. Different selection of lifestyle and accessory brands. Visitors enjoy a premium shopping experience, along with dining options.

Famous long street in Barcelona, full of gems, located in the center of city and you can easily access it by any transportation methods. Surrounded by famous restaurants, branded shops, museums , markets etc. Be careful of your belongings since it’s also famous for their pickpockets.

Great walking street to explore. Coincidently, there was filming going on!

This road is the heart of Barcelona, you can find anything, close to Barceloneta too. But it's unsafe to walk there after 9 o'clock in the night and I don't recommend to book your stay close to this street. Best time to visit is morning hours and ofcourse winter motnhs that nit many people go like the summer.

Lovely strip to walk down and enjoy the culture and food. But also be careful

Located on La Rambla Street — it was very crowded and there was construction everywhere. The timing wasn’t great, so we couldn’t really enjoy the visit.

Busy road under construction, don't buy the fridge magnet here, it doubled the price elsewhere

Must visit. So many things to see, eat and do on one street but be careful as this can also be a tourist trap where prices are hiked. Don’t settle for the 1st thing you see, try another.

Visiting the Sagrada Família was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. You see photos everywhere, but nothing compares to standing in front of it and realizing how enormous and detailed it really is. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, construction started in 1882 and it’s still not finished but it's coming to an end. There’s something amazing about seeing a building that’s been growing for more than a century and continues to evolve with each generation continuing Gaudi's vision. Every part of it tells a story: the Nativity Façade is full of life and nature, while the Passion Façade is dramatic and emotional. Inside, the light through the stained-glass windows looks magical — it changes color throughout the day and fills the space with warmth, peace and wonderful colours. Even with all the crowds, the atmosphere is calm and awe-inspiring. It really feels like a place where art, faith, and nature come together. It's one of the most beautiful landmarks on the world. Book tickets online in advance and go early in the morning if you want to avoid long lines. And if you can, climb one of the towers — the view over Barcelona is unforgettable.

The Basilica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona is one of the most extraordinary architectural masterpieces in the world. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, it perfectly combines faith, art, and innovation. The intricate details of the façade, inspired by nature and biblical stories, are breathtaking, while the interior feels almost otherworldly, filled with colorful light streaming through the stained-glass windows. The atmosphere inside is both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Although the basilica is still under construction, this adds a unique charm, witnessing a living piece of history being completed. Visiting the Sagrada Família is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must-see in Barcelona.

The Sagrada Familia is incredible. We did a guided tour which was great for a couple reasons. One, we got to walk pass the line with our guide which saved us time. Also, our guide was able to give us so many details about the structure we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. We went during the Golden Hour, which is when the sun is setting and the light shines through the stain glass, creating a Golden light. The details in the structure from the outside to the inside is spectacular. Highly recommend getting tickets way in advance so you don't miss out on the Sagrada Familia.

We had a guided tour. We don't normally do this but in this case it was necessary. The guide was informative amusing and personable. As for the Sagrada Familia itself, quite simply WOW! It was everything we had been told and so much more. The explanations of Gaudi's reasoning for the various aspects of the design brought the whole building into focus. It is truly an experience. The company we used was The Tour Guy. If all their guides are as good as ours you cannot go wrong. It may seem costly but IMHO it's worth it.

When in Barcelona, you have to visit the masterpiece of Gaudí. Book your tickets in advance and also get a guided tour. It will be a tour of around two hrs and your guide will explain about each and everything. This place is not just a church it’s a masterpiece of human kind. This place is an experience that you must do. I will recommend to visit either early in morning at the time of sunrise or in evening around 4pm at sunset. You will experience the place at its best and you will able to see the importance of time and light in the church. It’s the best architecture i have ever seen. Must book your tickets at-least 20 days in advance and also choose the tower access for the best views in city.

The Basilica of the Sagrada Família is truly one of the most awe-inspiring sites in the world and ​s​hould be on your must-see ​ list in Barcelona. No photos can capture the feeling of standing inside and seeing the light pour through the stained-glass windows—it’s breathtaking. The blend of color, geometry, and symbolism in Gaudí’s design is unlike anything else. Every column and carving feels purposeful, telling a story that connects nature, faith, and art. We booked ​a​ guided tour in advance, which made entry smooth and stress-free. ​The tours have a dedicated line making clearing security and entering the Basilica easy and highly recommended ​for the information provided by the guides making the experience more memorable​. Allow at least ​60-90 minutes to fully take it in, and don’t rush. Whether you’re religious or not, this is a place that inspires reflection and wonder.​ You are welcome to sit and reflect in one of the pews or simply rest your feet. You can buy tickets to view Barcelona from the top or visit the basement for more history and the gift shop. Unlike any church or basilica you will see.

Magnificent structure! I have visited Barcelona three times, and during my second visit, I had the chance to explore the interior as well. Both the inside and outside are truly unique. It’s an amazing experience to examine the figures on the exterior one by one. The ticket includes an audio guide, and by downloading the Sagrada Familia app to your phone, you can access a step-by-step audio guide that explains both the exterior and interior of the building. By the way, I recommend purchasing your ticket a week or two before your trip.

Well-made audio guide and efficient organization at the entrance. The house is wonderful, allowing you to fully discover Gaudí’s art. The ticket is a bit expensive (€36 for the Silver route). By choosing the Silver ticket, you also get access to the terrace with its colorful chimneys. Overall, a positive visiting experience.

I went there twice already, once by day and the other time by night and the magic just never ends. Gaudi must have had a lot of fun designing this mysterious world into a house and it amazes me how he managed to make it possible. By night, the windows and sea life details create this enchanting atmosphere throughout the visit. I cannot recommend this architectural gem enough!!

From the moment you arrive, the building’s facade grabs your attention – a surreal mix of bone-like balconies, mosaic tiles, and a dragon-scale roof that looks like it belongs in a fairytale. Inside, the experience becomes even more immersive. The flowing lines, natural light wells, and attention to detail in every corner show Gaudí’s genius not just as an architect, but as an artist deeply connected to nature. The audio-guided tour is excellent, enhanced with augmented reality features that help you imagine what the rooms would have looked like when the Batlló family lived there. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace – it offers beautiful views of the city and features the famous dragon-back design that symbolizes the legend of Saint George. Tips: Book your tickets in advance – it can get crowded, especially in high season. Go for the “Be the First” or “Magic Nights” experience if you're looking for a more intimate or romantic visit. Take your time. Every room and hallway hides some small detail you’ll regret rushing past. Whether you're an architecture lover, an art enthusiast, or simply curious, Casa Batlló is a must-see. It’s not just a building – it’s an experience.

Casa Batlló absolutely blew me away — it feels like stepping into a living, breathing piece of art. Gaudí’s imagination is on full display, from the flowing, nature-inspired interiors to the colorful mosaic façade that changes with the light. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s spine, is just unforgettable. It’s one of those places where every detail surprises you — truly magical.

This house cannot be properly understood without going in. During the night I find it even more magical as you can really see how light plays a most important part in it's architecture. I was awed and actually didn't even want to go at first, but all the details took my breath away. The style is different inside and outside, so even if you're not a fan of Gaudi, give yourself a chance to go in. It is 100% worth it. And there's 100% accessibility! Elevators on request but to all floors.

Visiting Casa Batlló was one of the highlights of my trip to Barcelona. Here you can see Gaudí’s creativity up close- the flowing shapes, colorful mosaics, his vision and talent in every detail. The house was redesigned by Antoni Gaudí in the early 1900s for the Batlló family and is a perfect example of Catalan modernism. Every detail — from the wavy staircases to the vibrant tiles — is inspired by nature. The rooftop, shaped like a dragon’s back, offers great views over Passeig de Gràcia. I booked tickets online (around €30–€35) and still waited about 20–30 minutes to get in, so I’d definitely recommend buying skip-the-line tickets or going early in the morning. Inside, the audio guide is fantastic and really helps you understand Gaudí’s vision and his use of light and ventilation in every room. It’s busy, but completely worth it. I am not big fan of this type of art or architecture however it was an unforgettable experience.

Casa Batlló is a true testament to Antoni Gaudí's genius and creativity, showcasing his ability to blend architecture with nature and art. Located in the heart of Barcelona, this modernist masterpiece stands out with its vibrant colors, organic shapes, and intricate details that draw visitors in from the moment they arrive. One of the most striking features of Casa Batlló is its façade, adorned with a mosaic of colorful tiles that resemble the scales of a dragon, a nod to the legend of Saint George. The undulating lines and whimsical shapes give the building a fluidity that feels alive, embodying Gaudí’s philosophy of design inspired by natural forms. The balconies, resembling masks, add a playful character to the exterior, inviting admiration from passersby. Inside, the experience only gets better. The open spaces and natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Gaudí’s attention to detail is evident in the custom furniture, stained glass windows, and the unique layout that encourages movement and exploration. The central atrium, with its blue gradient tiles, mimics the colors of the sea and sky, further connecting the interior with the natural world. Visiting Casa Batlló is not just about observing architecture; it’s about experiencing a piece of art that tells a story. Gaudí’s innovative use of materials and structural techniques pushes the boundaries of conventional design, making Casa Batlló a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, art, or culture. It’s a celebration of creativity that continues to inspire and captivate all who enter.

The buildings are great, but you can see them from the street, from the main entrance, so it's not worth buying a ticket. It's true that the park has other beautiful places than the well known Gaudi's buildings, but we wanted to visit it for this only reason and we left disappointed

If Gaudi knew his masterpieces would be turned into a tourist trap THIRSTING for money, he would be disgusted. I bought the tickets. Had an accident, couldn't attend exactly at the time that I had scheduled the tickets. They couldn't do anything. Not even get me a discount. Come on, do better. Ok, bought new tickets. The park is interesting, Gaudi never misses. Is it worth it paying 18 euros? Of course not. Stand outside the gates and you will see 95% of everything worth seeing. The workers are unprepared. There are so many nice things to see in Barcelona, if you don't have a lot of time, don't bother coming here.

Nice place to go for a walk, because in the city there is not much of a green areas around. But be aware that there is a lot of stairs in the park. So if you are coming with a stroller, that could be a challenge for you. Also be ready for a lot of people. It was difficult to find a quiet spot around the park. You can see nice architecture and if you are lucky you can find a spot on the sun and just relax for a bit.

Make sure to buy your tickets online beforehand or you likely won’t get in. Entrance fee is a little steep for what it is but nevertheless, still a great Gaudi experience. The place gets overly crowded so that definitely takes away from the overall experience.

We found the place amazingly innovating and also harmonically beautiful. Gaudi created a wonderous living space, full of hidden spots, making the journey delightful. I recommend booking a tour guide, as this adds to the whole experiance!

Was a very interesting place to walk around to see Gaudí genius at work. However, it can’t match up with his other masterpiece, Sagrada Família. Nothing much does. Not even close ! In my opinion but worth a walk through but beware it’s 18 Eyries each overall around and some of the inside park attractions are extra. I added some pics of the more popular spots in this park. Enjoy ! Nov 2025

Park Güell is a breathtaking place to visit! It’s definitely a must-see location during your visit to Barcelona!!! The unique architecture, colorful mosaics, and beautiful natural surroundings makes the whole experience unforgettable. The views of Barcelona from the park are stunning,l! Honestly, every corner of the park feels magical. The park perfectly captures Gaudí’s creativity and charm. I visited the park with a walking tour, which was amazing and worth every penny!

Our accommodation was only a 15-minute walk from Camp Nou, so even though it wasn’t part of our original plan, we decided to visit. Unfortunately, our travel dates didn’t match any match days, but it was still worth walking around the stadium, and especially visiting the official Barça merchandise store. Some people say there’s no need to come all the way here because the Barça stores in central Barcelona are cheaper and easier to access. But I disagree. This place is HUGE. A three-story building with practically everything you could imagine. You can find classic replica kits like the 94–95 away jersey, as well as Nike Dri-FIT official sponsor versions. There’s a wide variety of caps, bags, and other accessories too. The staff were all very friendly. You can even see Messi’s autographed jersey and captain’s armband. If you want, you can buy the replicas, just for €2,999.99 and €1,999.99 respectively. There’s also a café and a nice rest area, so if you’re visiting Barcelona and a football fan, I highly recommend stopping by this legendary place. + You can find drinks with Barça packaging for more generous price at supermarkets in the city center.

When I went it was under construction so I didn't get the full experience. If you would like to go just make sure if these works are done or not yet. Actually the stadium is not that astonishing but if you are a Barcelona fan then obviously you'll get in love with 😅

Very nice experience. The interactive museum is well made, got to see many iconic items on display. Thought not very big still a nice tour especially if you like the FC Barcelona team. I highly recommend you book your tickets before arriving. Also, better to book an early time visit as the line and waiting time tend to get longer.

It was a good experience visiting the stadium and the museum, however since the stadium is under construction at the moment it wasn't possible to feel the right energy. Once everything is completed i believe that i will give it 5 stars!

I’ve seen some complaints, but honestly -the stadium’s under renovation, not a secret! What did you expect, a VIP tour of cranes and concrete? The real magic is the feeling of Barça itself , the history, trophies, jerseys, and spirit. The interactive legends show gave me chills, and Messi’s iconic celebration against Madrid next to his golden shoes nearly broke my heart . Paid under €100 for two tickets Worth every cent. Can’t wait for the reopening! Visca el Barça!

Nou Camp, is a stadium in Barcelona and the home of La Liga club FC Barcelona since its opening in 1957. It is currently undergoing renovation, and with a planned increased seating capacity of 105,000[10] it will be the largest stadium in terms of seating capacity in Spain and Europe, and the third largest association football stadium in the world.

Was under construction, but still amazing, the trophy museum is a must too. Couldn’t go inside the stadium but there’s a construction viewpoint where you can see it from the outside but closer up. If visiting the stadium itself, get tickets of course, but for the trophy museum, you can purchase when you reach.

Sitges Beach is a beautiful, lively spot just outside Barcelona, known for its clean sand, clear waters, and relaxed atmosphere. The beach is very well-kept and offers plenty of space to relax or take a swim. One of its biggest highlights is the great selection of bars and restaurants just steps away — perfect for grabbing a cocktail, tapas, or a full meal without leaving the seaside vibe. Whether you're looking for a chill beach day or a more social, vibrant experience, Sitges Beach has a lot to offer.

This have automatically became one of my favorite beach. It's only 35 mins away from Barcelona by train. The water is so clean. You can definitely have an amazing time to chill and enjoy. I will definitely come back again;)

One of the cleanest beaches I’ve ever visited crystal-clear water and soft, sandy shores with no need for water shoes. As tourists, we didn’t come prepared with umbrellas or beach chairs. While mats were available from local vendors, we opted to rent two chairs and two umbrellas for €40. It was a full-day rental, so definitely worth the price. There are open showers for rinsing, but no public toilets. The beach itself is stunning, full of vibrant culture, and absolutely worth the day trip.

Sitges has that rare balance of art, sea breeze, and sunshine a place where you can feel both the joy of life and the quiet of your own thoughts. Has one of the most charming coastlines I’ve ever explored. I rode my bike along the seaside path, and every curve revealed a new kind of beauty long winding beaches, hidden coves, and little bays where different groups of people relax in their own rhythm. Some spots feel lively and social, others perfectly calm. From the beaches all the way to the old church by the castle, there are countless cafés and restaurants to stop by. I loved walking here morning and evening the light, the sound, the pace of life all change with time. Bring a sketchbook, sip a local coffee, taste some seaside tapas, and when you need a break, wander through the small local market.

Our recent visit to Sitges was nothing short of amazing! This beautiful coastal city exceeded all our expectations, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. We spent several days here with our family, and each moment was memorable. **Beaches:** The beaches in Sitges are absolutely stunning. The golden sand is soft and inviting, perfect for lounging or playing with kids. The water is incredibly clean and clear, making it ideal for swimming. The beach area is well-maintained, and there are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent. Whether you want to relax in the sun or take a dip in the Mediterranean, Sitges' beaches are top-notch. **Old Town:** The old city of Sitges is a true gem. Walking through the narrow, winding streets feels like stepping back in time. The architecture is beautiful, with charming whitewashed buildings and vibrant bougainvillea draping over balconies. There are numerous small squares where you can sit and soak in the atmosphere. The historic churches and museums add a cultural depth to the visit, and it's easy to lose yourself in the rich history of the area. **Cafes and Shops:** Sitges has a wonderful selection of cafes and shops. We loved starting our mornings at a local cafe, enjoying freshly brewed coffee and pastries while people-watching. The shops are diverse, ranging from boutique clothing stores to artisanal crafts and souvenirs. The local artisans' products are unique, making it easy to find something special to bring home. The hospitality everywhere we went was warm and welcoming. **Family-Friendly:** What made Sitges truly stand out for us was how family-friendly it is. There are plenty of activities for kids, from beach fun to exploring the old town. The city is safe, clean, and easy to navigate with children. Our kids loved the open spaces and the freedom to explore, and we appreciated the many options for family dining and entertainment. **Overall Experience:** Sitges is a perfect destination for families looking for a mix of beach relaxation, cultural exploration, and vibrant local life. We had an unforgettable time and would highly recommend Sitges to anyone considering a trip to the Mediterranean. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Sitges – A Mediterranean Gem that Steals Your Heart Nestled just 35 km southwest of Barcelona, Sitges is a picture-perfect coastal town that effortlessly blends charm, culture, and relaxation into a single destination. I spent a few days here and left with a heart full of memories and a silent promise to return. 🌊 Beaches that Spell Bliss Sitges boasts over 17 beaches, each with its own unique vibe — from lively stretches filled with sunbeds and music to quiet coves where you can unwind with a book. The Platja de Sant Sebastià was my personal favorite: calm waters, golden sand, and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for morning walks. The water is incredibly clean, and the promenade walk along the coastline is postcard-perfect. 🍽️ Food that Tantalizes the Taste Buds For a relatively small town, Sitges has an impressive culinary scene. From beachfront tapas bars to upscale seafood restaurants, there’s something for every palate. I highly recommend trying “xató,” a traditional Catalan salad that originates from this region. Don’t miss the paella at La Zorra or the local gelato shops dotted along the promenade. Every meal felt fresh, flavorful, and soul-satisfying. 🎭 Culture and Charm Everywhere Sitges is steeped in history and brimming with culture. Its narrow cobbled streets lead to charming plazas, whitewashed houses, and intriguing art galleries. I loved visiting the Museu Cau Ferrat, which houses works by Santiago Rusiñol and Picasso. The town’s Art Nouveau architecture and quaint little boutiques give it a distinct, romantic character. 🌈 Open, Friendly, and Inclusive What struck me most about Sitges is its warm and inclusive spirit. It’s internationally known for its LGBTQ+ friendliness and has a very open-minded and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or with friends, you’ll feel embraced here. 🎉 Festivals That Light Up the Town If you can time your visit around the Carnival in February or the Sitges Film Festival in October, you’re in for a treat. The energy is electric, with vibrant costumes, parades, and celebrations that reflect the town’s artistic soul and community spirit. 🚆 Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave Getting to Sitges is effortless, with regular trains from Barcelona taking just 30–40 minutes. But be warned: once you arrive, you may not want to leave. The pace of life is slower, the air is salt-kissed and refreshing, and every corner seems to be made for a photograph. ⸻ Final Verdict: Sitges is more than a destination — it’s a feeling. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and smile more. Whether you come for the sun, the sea, the art, or the open-hearted people, Sitges will leave a lasting impression. Highly, highly recommended.

Sitges Beach, located in the picturesque town of Sitges, is renowned for its golden sands and clear Mediterranean waters. The beach offers a lively atmosphere, with plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming, and beach sports. Promenades lined with palm trees, cafes, and restaurants provide a scenic backdrop and a variety of dining options. The beach is well-maintained and popular among both locals and tourists, making it a vibrant spot for relaxation and recreation. Sitges Beach is a perfect destination for enjoying the sun, sea, and the charming ambiance of the coastal town.

Beatiful views, nice walking trails, The basilica and Black Madonna are a must when you visit here, you can take the funicular up the mountain from the visitor center. The outside parking is a bit of a walk and costs 7 euros. You can also park under the basilica for 10 euros for the first 3 hours or for 14 euroa for over 3 hours and up to 24 hours. Convenient for those who have trouble walking or finding parking outside.

Beautiful place. Nestled 1500m above Cataluña in the mountains. Makes you wonder, given its location, who could manage to complete such magnificent structures! I was a little late in the day so only ventured half way up to where the Basílica and the shrine is located. You can feel the history/essence in the air as you sit quietly taking in your surroundings. Also, here is where the Virgin Of Montserrat is located. After passing the patron saint of Cataluña, you can choose to veer off and enter a stained glass, oval shaped prayer room. DON'T skip out....well worth taking a seat and just reflecting for a couple of minutes. Family friendly. Lots of outdoor space. The views, well you just have to see for yourself!

Magnifcent monument. Must see. I recomend train from Barça and cable car. You can buy combined ticket. Easy. Tickets for Basilica and other are available on spot without waiting. At 13.00 hrs every working day there is a short concert from Boys choir. Must se and listen. It's beautifull. Like Walking on clouds. After you must touch the Earth in Black Madona right hand. At last I recenzent visita a wiewpoint at St. Mathew's cross. On spot can be chilly. This is the place that I'll deffinetly visit again.

One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Barcelona Spain! Highly recommend everyone to come! We took the train cable car up to the mountain! Not many tourists were there! The views are absolutely breathtaking The cathedral was sooo beautiful and peaceful! ☺️

We went here on a tour and I was so happy we did. I loved it that the vendors as you approach the monastery are descendants of those who sold the same cheeses and products decades if not eons ago. The Black Madonna was an inspiring experience and we really enjoyed the art museum as well. I have never seen it even referenced but it was amazing.

This is a must-do day trip! We booked a small group tour via Viator. Our guide, a local, took us by train to Montserrat station, where we then took a cable car to the summit of the mountain. She gave us a great tour. We saw and were able to touch the black Madonna. We hiked to the St. Michael cross and were blown away by the views!

Had a great experience visiting Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the place had such a peaceful and spiritual vibe. It’s one of those spots where you really feel connected to nature and history at the same time. Definitely worth the trip if you’re visiting Barcelona! ⛰️🙏

Fantastic Day Out at the Water Park We had a fab day out—our kids absolutely loved it! We chose to go on a slightly cloudy day, which worked out perfectly for our youngest (age 5), as it made the heat more bearable. As expected during peak season, the queues were long—around 60 minutes for the popular attractions—but that’s to be expected in August. The park itself was very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of facilities including toilets, lockers, and lots of food and drink options. For lunch, we spent €85 for our family of five. That included 3 junior meals (pizza, chips, pudding, and a drink) and 2 adult meals (fish & chips, and chicken & chips). Food was decent, and service was efficient. Overall, a great family day out. The kids had a blast and will definitely sleep well tonight.

Amazing amusement park! Would definitely go back sometime. The best advice is to buy express pass, as the waiting time for each attraction is between 40-60 minutes. We have visited the park on 16th October and it was so so crowded

PortAventura is full of variety and well worth the visit — but a little planning makes the day smoother with a tip. Bring a refillable bottle, as there are fountains around the park to top up. You’ll need at least 5–6 hours to cover the rides, especially with waiting times. The Express Pass really depends on when you go — we visited on a Tuesday at the end of September and rarely waited more than 30 minutes, though some rides did creep up to 50+ minutes at peak times. A good tip is to go for rides during or just after typical lunch hours, when queues are often much shorter.

Love this theme park . One of the best actual themed parks I've been too . The rides are all amazing. Although have to say was a bit disappointed with uncharted...it could have been so much better. The AR mine train was amazing with the serpents flying over your head. Not been here for 10 years and didn't see many changes or new rides since last time. But still great and my 5 time here

Fantastic Port Aventura World This park has incredible rides, we loved it with my son. Our favourite was Furious Baco ! It was the 1st of January this year, so was not too crowded and a FANTASTIC way for us to begin the year. We will back we loved this park!

Great place with many joyful experiences. There are thrills for all desires. Definitely advise to visit if you like rollercoasters and other exciting experiences. Best to go there in off-season when kids are back to school to avoid long queues. If attending during holiday breaks definitely think about express pass to enjoy there rides and not standing in wait.

Parking was 12 euros. Toilets aren't too far away from each other. Food is very expensive, 12 eur for a hotdog. Park is really big, it takes 20 minutes of walking to reach the opposite side of the park, loads of different themes which is very exciting to look at! Ferrari land has HUGE lines, highly recommend getting pass ticket for the main ride since we waited for almost 5 hours... Overall, the park is really nice and there's much to see x)

Place to be absolutely avoided Very dirty in common areas, toilets areas as well as attractions, with serious risks of getting skin irritation as happened to me ... I unfortunately visited this park this July and it was a carnage. Uncontrolled number of people made the situatuin very caothic. Queues of a minimum of over one hour for each attraction with several blockages and slowdowns due also to the poor preparation of the young and inexperienced staff. Dirty everywhere and unpleasent discussions with other visitors standing to grab your chair or sunbed as soon you get up or, simply because insufficient in numbers compared with the uncontrolled number of people admitted. All of this at the "cheapest " price of 47 Euro ,if you cannot book online in advance for chhosing a fix date, plus 15 Euros for parking and 8 Euros for a small locker.....More than adventure an unpleasent disadventure .....

If you are staying few days around, then you must visit it along with the 2 other parks (portaventura world and ferrari land). However, if you are visiting just for one day, I would suggest just going to Portaventura world instead. We stayed at one of the portavenrura hotels nearby for 3 days to be able to discover all 3 parks (portaventura world, portaventura aquatic park and ferrari land). We spent one day in this caribe aquatic park.

I’m visiting this park every year in the last 10 years. The kids love the place . I’ve decided to give the place minimum score because it doesn’t care about the guest . 2025 is almost 2015 , very little in places shadows . The sun is killing in Spain . And the place doesn’t care about his guests health . The food . I understand it should be expensive as they do the maximum to take any penny they can . Fat food, almost nothing healthy . So above fun , take care of your guests . Put many umbrellas so people can hide from the sun, and sell healthy food.

We were absolutely delighted with our visit to the water park! Since we only had one day, we decided to purchase VIP tickets — and it turned out to be the best choice. They were worth every penny: the VIP lines were minimal, while the regular ticket lines stretched far beyond the designated areas. Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy more attractions without wasting time in queues and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, everything was clean, and the staff was polite and well-organized. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially if your time is limited or if you want to spend the day in maximum comfort.

The worst aqua park I ever been, and I've been in all over the World, from Turkey, UAE to Australia... Not many slides and pools, but the worst of all is that it is too much crowded, there is 3 times more people than capacity! For every slide waiting is more than an hour, some even 2... If you want to eat, more than 1 hour waiting and count minimum 100€ for 4 persons with 1 drink. My advice, if you want to go anyway, buy extra pass and than there is 0 mins waiting.. If you enter at 11am, don't count you will get any sunbeds, it's completely full! Locker rooms also waiting time around 30 minutes and it is 8€ for small and 11€ for bigger bags! Better go once again to PortAventura World and Ferrari World.

Came to the park just with my two kids 12 and 10 in on a Thursday in the May school holiday. Being a single parent, I was quite concerned about the logistics of keeping valuables safe while also enjoying the park with the kids. However, the lockers are quite straightforward - once paid, you get a printout with a locker allocation and a six digit pin. I managed to remember this which meant I could put everything in the locker. I would say these are good for one medium sized rucksack and a few other extras. We got to the park from the Barcelona-Salou train, that gets in a 10 and had bought tickets in advance at the train station - would recommend this or alternatively on line as there are queues for on-site ticket purchasing. The park opened at 11, and there was only a short queue once we got through the bag check zone (that is for all three parks). The water park is great and, at this time of year, it was not very busy - we easily got a lounger under the shaded area and the weather was perfect for us. The slides are great and the queues were minimal throughout the day. The green and blue Barracudas are great (green one is better) and so is El Torrente, which is a big dinghy that can hold up to four each time. Many say the lifeguards blow whistles too much but as long as you know what to do it is fine. As my sunglasses are prescription, it was slightly annoying not being able to wear them on the lazy river or Bahama Beach but I coped. Didn't try the food but had a couple of beers and ice creams. Took a large bottle of water in. In all, would say this is a great time to visit this park. I suspect that in the summer this would not get 5 stars as I expect queues would be much larger and weather too hot!

We had fun at this water park, we got there at opening time on a Monday and it was already very busy and we had to queue for lockers (expensive!). If we were to go again we maybe wouldn't bother with a locker and would leave our things on a sunbed instead as most people seemed to be doing. We had to queue for some slides but we didn't think it was too bad. We spent all day there and went on all of the slides we wanted to and some twice. I do think there must be a more efficient system for the rings though, having to queue to get one then queue again for the slide wasn't ideal. The food was okay, they had veggie hotdogs which were good. You get a reusable cup if you buy a drink. There's no photographers so you won't get a souvenir photo.

Ok for a bit then once uve seen first 15 mins thats it really

I liked this place because every day I am in salou I walk past it and it is great

They haven't been very helpful. They just deliver maps.

Beautiful building great helpful staff loads of info

Very helpful. And friendly.

While friendly they don't have much to offer other then tries to Barcelona.

Yes very helpful and softly spoken

Great family (2+4) experience! We were extremely pleased with our guide David who guided us in a fun and safe manner. Our youngest girl of 8 years old skipped a few high jumps but was encouraged to expericence the adventure full swing. Exiting and beautiful trip1 Highly recommended.!

Our family had a wonderful day with Javier. It was our 8 year okd’s first time and she whined a fair bit in the beginning about the hiking ascent under the sun but soon all was forgotten as we navigated through the icy river, wading, swimming, climbing and jumping off rocks, crawling and squeezing through crevices. Javier really guided our and another family with 2 kids, serving as human ladder at times to support us. He kept the kids entertained and shared his enthusiasm and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We all had a blast

We had an excellent day canyoning with David in the Formiga canyon. Really exciting and fun while feeling very safe. Very good organisation and communication both in advance and on the day. Highly recommended!

David was a fantastic guide who we had lots of fun with. He knew the canyon and the river incredibly well. He was patient with our kids and they loved having him lead us.

Raul was the guide of my wife and my 3 kids. He should them al the best spots. The canyoning was a amazing experience and he was a very good guide

Canyoning in Alquezar is amazing. The trip is very beautifull, the stunning surrounding, refreshing water, (optional) jumps make it the best Canyoning trip we did. And our guide stimulated and helped where neefjes so my 10 year old daighter had the best day!

We had such an amazing time! Javi was so helpful and patient with all of us, and he guided us step by step with what to do to make the experience as fun and safe as possible. Highly recommend!

A most exquisite building dedicated to Saint Mary who appeared on a pillar which is now enclosed but you can kneel before it and touch part of it. The soaring ceiling and beautiful sculptures are breathtaking. Each of the chapels has its own glorious artworks. The chapel at the back of the church is extraordinary with a separate open roof structure. A true gem.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza is a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a deeply spiritual landmark. With its grand domes, stunning frescoes by Goya, and peaceful riverside setting, it’s a must-visit for both art and history lovers. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the tower and the nearby Puente de Piedra for perfect photos.

Simply mammoth size of a Cathedral....hard to photograph it was so large but got some shots on a stormy night from the bridge. Beautiful tiling on roof. Beautifully carved altar and wonderfully cool inside. Sadly a couple of the towers were being renovated but understandable.

Such a beautiful Basilica. Seeing the Pilar where our Lady billocated was so special. We timed it well for Holy Mass. you do need an hour to explore afterwards. Plenty of priests were there to hear confessions. Architecture was spectacular, the paintings, sculptures- a pure joy to be there. Plenty of Capella for praying along. Rosary after 12 mass.

The church was absolutely stunning, with its magnificent architecture leaving me speechless. The intricate stonework and towering spires created an awe-inspiring silhouette against the sky. As I walked through the grand entrance, I was captivated by the rich history that enveloped the space; it felt as though time itself had been preserved within these walls. The ornate stained glass windows cast vibrant colors across the interior, illuminating the beautifully carved wooden pews. I found myself particularly mesmerized by the elaborate details on the facade, where every chiselled figure and decorative element seemed to tell a story of its own. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on my heart.

A very beautiful basilica, and definitely worth visiting if you're in the area or happen to be passing through. However, I wouldn't make a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a few other sites.

It was, without a doubt, an exceptionally impressive church. Unlike many others that I have visited in various cities, this one stood out with its distinctive architectural features and unique atmosphere, setting it apart from the more familiar structures I had previously encountered.

It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.

I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.

WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!

One of the most beautiful places on earth. The paths and the falls are amazing. So much peace and beauty make this a great place to retreat to for the day.

This park is worth every penny. About 2.5 hours of absolute nature magic. Recommended early morning, opens at 09:00 and avoid weekends. Bring a picnic as there are nice places to do it, take your time and enjoy nature. Buy your tickets online and bring a professional camera because you will get some amazing shots.
