Admission No Longer Free: How Palma's New Pricing Policy Is Changing the City

Answer

Why is Palma charging more for some public sites and transport now?

Palma’s city government says the higher fees are meant to help cover maintenance, restoration and service costs. The idea is to ask visitors to contribute more while keeping residents protected where possible. Critics, however, say the city still needs to explain more clearly how the money will be used and what the wider impact on daily life and tourism will be.
