4. Visit its museums and art galleries

Palma has a good selection of museums and art galleries which exhibit works by both international and local artists from all periods.
Some of the museums and art galleries worth visiting are:

• the Museu d'Art Espanyol Contemporani (Spanish
  Contemporary Art museum), which includes works by Pablo
  Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, and other 20th century
  Spanish artists.
• Es Baluard is located in the southwest corner
  of the old Reniassance city wall. With a spectacular view over
  Palma Bay, Palma’s newest museum houses works by
  Cezanne, Picasso, Miró and Barceló, among others, along with temporary exhibitions.
• the Museu de Mallorca (Mallorca Museum) is an impressive museum relating the history of Palma through the ages and displays wonderful archeological findings.

5. Join in the nightlife

Many of the late-night bars of Palma are situated along the Avinguda Gabriel Roca (also known as the Passeig Marítim). On that same road, Pachá and Titos's (two of the most popular and crowded clubs in the city) are found.

6. Eat out!

Many of Palma's most popular cafés, restaurants and tapas bars are located around the city centre, especially in the side streets of the Passeig des Born and the Avinguda d'Antoni Maura.

However, to try typical Mallorcan dishes in an authentic Spanish atmosphere, why not visit Génova, a little village just 15 minutes away from the centre of Palma with many popular Mallorcan restaurants to choose from.
