Palma in autumn

Almost without realizing it, the days begin to shorten. The light concentrates in the central hours and offers a break from the summer’s frenetic pace. The occasional gentle shower washes away the lingering heat and makes way for a new season that, far from nostalgic, is vibrant and welcoming.

Autumn arrives in Palma with warm colors and pleasant temperatures. The streets become walkable again, the beaches turn peaceful, and the city’s rhythm regains its usual calm. For those seeking a more serene, authentic, and cultural experience, this is the best time of year to discover the Balearic capital.

The historic center becomes a canvas painted in ochre and golden tones. The modernist buildings, hidden courtyards, the Cathedral of Mallorca and its terraces —which can be visited until October 31st—, Bellver Castle, La Lonja, or the Portixol promenade all take on new life under the soft autumn light.

This is the perfect moment to savor a llonguet while strolling by the sea or to stop at the Santa Catalina Market and enjoy a variat made with local ingredients. It’s also the right time to sit onthe Rooftop of Es Princep, let time pass slowly, and take in the unique views of Palma’s bay.

And speaking of autumn, we can’t forget one of the most special nights of the year: Nit de l’Art. This event transforms the city into a vast open-air gallery. Art galleries and creative spaces open their doors to the public, hosting exhibitions, concerts, and performances. Art takes over the streets, and Palma becomes the cultural epicenter of the Mediterranean.

Autumn suits Palma beautifully. With fewer crowds, ideal weather, and a cultural scene in full swing, this season stands out as one of the best times to be swept away by the charm of the city. From Es Princep, we invite you to discover Palma from a different perspective — slower, more intimate, and without a doubt, just as unforgettable.
