Answer
How should visitors prepare for a busy weekend in Palma?
The most useful preparation is to check transport updates, avoid driving if possible and allow an extra buffer for delays. A shorter trip on foot can be easier than crossing the city by car, especially around Plaza Pere Garau and the old town. If you do drive, expect parking to be harder to find than usual.
