How much does it typically cost to park in Palma's old town?

Among the narrow streets and historic buildings of Palma’s old town, finding parking can be as much a part of the experience as wandering past its cathedral and piazzas. On-street metered spots usually require payment during the day, and prices hover around one to two euros per hour, with rates higher near key landmarks like La Lonja or Placa Major. Signs are clear but watchful eyes will notice certain zones that restrict parking in the evenings or on market days, so always check local notices.

For longer stays, underground car parks under Plaça d’Espanya or near Jaime III offer secure options at daily rates reflecting their central location; expect around 15 to 20 euros for the day, though prices might climb during festivals such as Sant Sebastià. The TIB bus network and the Palma metro provide excellent alternatives if you’d rather skip the hassle and glimpse city life instead. Early arrival not only opens up more parking choices but also lets you enjoy a morning cafè con llet and ensaïmada before your explorations begin.
