Plaça d'Espanya
Plaça d'Espanya is a central square in Palma that serves as the primary link between the city's historic old town and its newer districts. It functions as a major transport hub where regional trains and city buses converge, making it a practical starting point for visitors arriving from other parts of the island or those beginning a walking tour of the city.
Getting There
The square is located on the edge of the city centre. Depending on your starting point within the central district, it is a short walk of approximately 5 to 15 minutes. For those arriving from Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), the square is a frequent destination for airport shuttle buses.
Duration of Visit
Because this is a transit hub and open public space rather than a gated monument, most travellers spend 30 to 60 minutes here to orient themselves, access transportation, or transition between neighborhoods.
When to Visit
The square is active throughout the day due to the constant flow of commuters. It can become crowded during peak transit hours and during the summer tourist season. To avoid the heaviest crowds, visit in the early morning.

The square's location allows for easy access to several nearby sites within walking distance:
- St. Margaret's Church: 0.1km
- Basilica of St. Michael: 0.3km
- Parc de les Estacions: 0.4km
- Museu Fundació Juan March: 0.4km
