Palma de Mallorca is the main city on the island of Mallorca. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea about 200 kilometers south of Barcelona. It is a popular port that receives cruiseship calls alomst daily in the spring/summer cruise season. The distance from the cruiseship center to the city center is about 4-5km. Most people therefore choose to take the buses that are most frequently arranged by the cruise lines. Just outside the port gates cruise passengers also make use of public transportation (buses) to save a few dollars. This is however a time consuming and tiresome event if you get off the ship on peak hours. 

 

From the ship you have beautiful views of the city with the gothic cathedral La Seu being the main eye catcher.
