Palma de Mallorca Money-Saving Passes & Cards

The honest answer first: Palma does not currently have a real city pass. This guide compares the transport card, single-site bundles, and the cases where buying nothing saves more.

The short answer

Usually, no. Palma de Mallorca does not currently have a live official city pass that works like the big cards in Rome or Paris, so most independent travelers save more by buying single tickets and using the free or cheap days already built into the city. The one exception is the Targeta Unica / Intermodal card if you are eligible and can get it without hassle, because public transport on the card is free in 2026.

Targeta Unica / Intermodal Card

transport pass

Transport

Prices

  • Per trip in 2026 Free
  • Card issue Not clearly stated
Durations: Ongoing card

Includes

  • ✓Free travel in 2026 on TIB regional buses
  • ✓Free travel in 2026 on TIB trains
  • ✓Free travel in 2026 on TIB metro
  • ✓EMT Palma rides when using the card
  • ✓Access to Palma Intermodal transport network

Not included

  • ·No attraction entry
  • ·No museum admission
  • ·No sightseeing bundle
  • ·Eligibility and application friction can make it impractical for short-stay visitors

shopping_bag Check eligibility before you count on this. You can apply via the TIB e-office or handle it in person at Palma Intermodal Station, TIB offices, and some partner offices, but for a short trip the collection hassle may wipe out the savings.

Best value on this page if you are eligible and already have access to it. If you are in Palma for two days and need to spend time applying, collecting, and figuring out whether you qualify, it often stops being the easy win it looks like.

Mallorca Cathedral Standard Ticket

attraction bundle

Skip line

Prices

  • Adult €10
  • Senior 65+ €8
  • Preferential €8
  • Child 0-9 Free
Durations: Single visit

Includes

  • ✓Mallorca Cathedral entry
  • ✓Museum of Sacred Art of Mallorca entry
  • ✓Fast-line access when bought online

Not included

  • ·Terraces are not included
  • ·No public transport
  • ·No citywide museum access

shopping_bag Buy direct from the cathedral if this is on your list. Online tickets use the official fast-line entrance at Portal del Mirador, which makes third-party skip-the-line upsells hard to justify.

Worth buying if the cathedral is one of your priorities. It is not a city pass and it is not a bundle discount. It is just the cleanest way to pay for Palma's most visited monument.

Mallorca Cathedral + Terraces

combo pass

Prices

  • Adult €25
  • Balearic resident €8
  • Balearic resident Friday terrace Free
Durations: Single timed visit

Includes

  • ✓Cathedral entry
  • ✓Museum of Sacred Art of Mallorca entry
  • ✓Terrace access
  • ✓Timed entry for the terrace experience

Not included

  • ·Not suitable for children under 10
  • ·Not suitable for visitors with vertigo
  • ·Not suitable for reduced mobility or cardiorespiratory issues
  • ·No public transport

shopping_bag Buy from the official cathedral ticket office if rooftop access is the point of your visit. Do not treat this as a savings bundle. Compared with the standard cathedral ticket, you are mainly paying €15 extra for the terrace.

Buy it only if you genuinely want the roof. If you just want the cathedral interior, this is an upsell, not a smart budget move.

Cathedral Guided Tour - Terraces at Sunset

combo pass

Prices

  • Adult €30
Durations: Single guided visit

Includes

  • ✓Terraces at sunset
  • ✓Certified guide
  • ✓Timed guided entry

Not included

  • ·The official wording does not clearly state full cathedral and museum admission the same way the daytime terrace ticket does
  • ·No public transport
  • ·No citywide attraction access

shopping_bag Check the exact inclusion text before paying, because the sunset product is framed as a guided terrace experience. If you mainly want normal cathedral entry, buy the cheaper standard ticket instead.

This makes sense only if sunset on the roof matters to you. The extra €5 over the daytime terrace ticket buys timing and a guide, not a broad saving.

Es Baluard Museu Admission

museum pass

Prices

  • General €8
  • Reduced €5.50
  • Bike arrival €2
  • Friday pay-what-you-want From €0.10
Durations: Single visit

Includes

  • ✓Full museum admission
  • ✓Access to current exhibitions

Not included

  • ·No transport
  • ·No other museum entry
  • ·No city pass benefits

shopping_bag If your schedule is flexible, go on Friday or arrive by bike. Those two options do more for your budget than any imaginary Palma museum pass.

A good museum, but the Friday and bike discounts make bundled ticket schemes mostly irrelevant here.

Fundacio Miro Mallorca Admission

museum pass

Prices

  • General €10
  • Reduced €6.50
  • Palma resident €4
  • Under 16 Free
Durations: Single visit

Includes

  • ✓Foundation spaces and exhibitions
  • ✓Day-of-visit access to the site

Not included

  • ·No transport
  • ·No bundle with Bellver or Es Baluard
  • ·No city card perks

shopping_bag This is a simple direct purchase on site. Families should check the free-entry rules before paying, because children under 16 already remove a lot of the cost.

Good value if Miró matters to you. Not the sort of place where a pass changes the decision much.

Castell de Bellver Admission

attraction bundle

Prices

  • General €4
  • Reduced €2
  • Palma resident €2.50
  • Sunday Free
  • Under 14 Free
Durations: Single visit

Includes

  • ✓Castle entry
  • ✓Municipal Museum of History inside Bellver

Not included

  • ·No transport
  • ·No other Palma monument entry
  • ·Tickets are sold at the visitors reception centre in the parking area

shopping_bag This is already cheap, and Sunday makes it free. Recheck the official prices page before travel because the latest page I found looked current but had an older search index date.

One of the easiest places to overthink. At €4, or free on Sunday, you do not need a pass strategy here.

Patrimonio Nacional Discount 3 Annual Pass

tourist card

Prices

  • Basic €50
  • Reduced €28
Durations: 1 year

Includes

  • ✓Entry to Patrimonio Nacional museums across Spain
  • ✓Includes Royal Palace of La Almudaina when open

Not included

  • ·Not Palma-focused
  • ·Only one Palma site is in scope
  • ·No Palma transport
  • ·No skip-the-line benefit stated

shopping_bag Ignore this unless you are also visiting other Patrimonio Nacional sites across Spain. In Palma alone, the math is weak even before you factor in that Almudaina was listed as closed for renovation on the official ticket page when checked.

Bad buy for a normal Palma trip. This only starts to make sense if Palma is one stop in a much wider Spain itinerary.

If you already qualify and can use the card without extra admin, this is the one clear winner in Palma. Transport is free on the card in 2026, so the savings start immediately. The weak point is access, not value.

This is a common Palma pattern and it kills the case for paying extra for a bundle. Bellver is free on Sunday, Es Baluard can cost almost nothing on Friday, and the terrace add-on does not save money if the roof is not your priority.

This is not really a break-even deal because there is no separate cheaper way to combine the same official products on the same terms. Buy it if the rooftop matters to you. Skip it if the interior alone is enough.

The annual pass is built for travelers visiting multiple royal sites across Spain. In Palma it covers too little, and the official ticket page showed Almudaina closed for renovation when this page was checked.

What should YOU buy?

Pick your travel style.

solo

No pass recommended

Most solo travelers in Palma do better with a pick-and-choose approach. The city is compact, single-site tickets are modest, and the free-entry days at Bellver and Es Baluard can cut costs without any pass.

couple

No pass recommended

For couples on a normal long weekend, buying individual tickets is usually the cleanest and cheapest option. The only time a card becomes interesting is if both of you are eligible for the Targeta Unica and expect to lean on public transport.

family

No pass recommended

Families often assume a pass will simplify things, but Palma's child discounts already do a lot of the work. Children 9 and under enter the cathedral free, under-14s get Bellver free, and under-16s get Miró free.

48h stopover

No pass recommended

A 48-hour stopover is exactly where people overbuy. Palma does not have a strong city card, and most short itineraries include only one major paid monument plus a few walks, markets, beaches, or low-cost museums.

week long

Buy: Targeta Unica / Intermodal Card

For a longer stay, the transport card is the one product that can really change your budget, but only if you are eligible and can get it without hassle. If not, a week in Palma still does not justify chasing weak attraction bundles.

budget

No pass recommended

Budget travelers should focus on timing, not passes. Use Bellver on Sunday, Es Baluard on Friday, and only pay for the cathedral if it matters to you. That usually beats every bundle on this page.

senior

No pass recommended

Seniors already have reduced pricing at some major sites, including the cathedral. That lowers the chance that any add-on bundle makes financial sense unless transport savings through the Targeta Unica are available to you.

student

No pass recommended

Students can already access reduced or preferential prices at some Palma sites, so buying separate tickets usually works out better. Check the cathedral's preferential entry and any museum reductions before you assume a pass will help.

warning Scams & traps to avoid

Known scams tied to Palma de Mallorca passes and tickets.

Old Palma Pass pages still rank in search

How it works

You search for a Palma city pass, land on an old SEO page, and assume the product is still live because the branding looks current enough. Some pages describe old 48-hour, 72-hour, or family versions even though current official Palma tourism and transport sources do not show an active replacement.

How to spot it

The seller cannot point you to a live issuer page from Palma tourism, CTM, or Palma City Council, and the wording feels vague about collection, activation, or included sites.

Safe alternative

Ignore any seller claiming to offer a current official Palma Pass. Buy direct from each attraction or use the official CTM transport card only if you know you qualify.

Third-party cathedral skip-the-line tickets that add no real value

How it works

Resellers market cathedral tickets as premium skip-the-line products and charge more for them, even though the cathedral already gives online buyers fast-line access through Portal del Mirador. A March 2026 TripAdvisor review also described gate staff not recognizing a reseller-issued skip-the-line ticket.

How to spot it

The ticket costs more than the official cathedral price, uses resale wording instead of cathedral branding, or is vague about the actual entrance gate and ticket format.

Safe alternative

Buy straight from the cathedral's own ticket office online. You get the official entry instructions and avoid paying extra for a benefit that may already be included.

EMT and TIB fare confusion around airport and city buses

How it works

Travelers mix up EMT Palma and TIB systems, use the wrong assumptions about prepaid tickets or card media, and end up paying more or arguing with staff. Forum posts in 2026 still show people confused about airport bus charges and which network their card works on.

How to spot it

You are boarding without checking whether the route is EMT or TIB, or a reseller promises one card works everywhere without explaining the conditions.

Safe alternative

Check the operator before you board. Use CTM and official network pages for TIB and EMT rules, and do not rely on old blog posts for airport bus fare advice.

Don't buy a pass if…

  • block You are in Palma for one or two days and only plan to pay for one or two sights. Individual tickets are cheaper.
  • block You are doing Bellver on Sunday and Es Baluard on Friday. Those built-in discounts already wipe out much of the value of any pass idea.
  • block You only want the cathedral interior. The terrace products cost more and are not a savings play.
  • block You are traveling with young children. Several headline sites already have free child entry, so bundled products rarely improve the math.
  • block You are looking at the Patrimonio Nacional annual pass only for La Almudaina. That is poor value in Palma alone, and the palace was listed as closed for renovation when checked.

Common questions

Is there an official Palma de Mallorca city pass in 2026? expand_more
I did not find a live official Palma-wide city pass or museum card on sale when this page was checked on 2026-04-22. Old Palma Pass pages still appear in search, but current official tourism, transport, and city sources do not show an active replacement.
Should I buy a pass or just pay separately in Palma de Mallorca? expand_more
In most cases, pay separately. Palma is compact, headline attractions are limited, and free or cheap entry windows already exist at places like Bellver Castle and Es Baluard. Unless you are eligible for the Targeta Unica transport card, separate tickets are usually the cheaper choice.
What is the best money-saving card in Palma de Mallorca right now? expand_more
The strongest value is the Targeta Unica / Intermodal card, because public transport on the card is free in 2026. The catch is eligibility and collection. It is a transport card, not a sightseeing pass, so it helps most if you can actually get it without hassle.
Does the Mallorca Cathedral ticket include skip-the-line entry? expand_more
If you buy the standard cathedral ticket online from the official site, the cathedral says you can use the fast-line entrance at Portal del Mirador. That makes many third-party skip-the-line offers hard to justify.
Is the cathedral terrace ticket worth paying extra for? expand_more
Only if the rooftop is one of the main reasons you are going. The terrace combo costs €25 versus €10 for the standard cathedral ticket, so you are effectively paying €15 more for the roof. If you only care about the interior, skip it.
Are there any free museum or monument days in Palma? expand_more
Yes. Bellver Castle is free on Sundays, and Es Baluard has Friday pay-what-you-want admission from €0.10. Those two alone can change the math enough that any pass idea stops making sense.
Is the Patrimonio Nacional annual pass worth buying for Palma? expand_more
Usually no. In Palma it mainly matters for the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, whose normal self-guided ticket is €8 when open. The annual pass costs €50 basic, so it only makes sense if Palma is part of a wider Spain trip with several Patrimonio Nacional sites.
Can tourists use the Targeta Unica or Intermodal card in Palma? expand_more
Possibly, but this is where you need to check the official rules carefully. The card is clearly live and valuable, yet the official wording is aimed more at residents, regular island users, and existing cardholders than at short-stay visitors. Do not assume you can collect it quickly at the airport and start using it without checking.
