Plaça Major — the sad heart of an overlooked city centre

Answer

Is Plaça Major in Palma worth visiting right now?

Yes, Plaça Major is still one of Palma’s key city-centre spaces and it connects easily with the cathedral, the Rambla and the old town. At the same time, visitors should expect a place that feels uneven rather than polished, especially in the less cared-for parts. It can still be worth a stop, but it is better seen as part of a wider walk through central Palma.
