Answer
What kind of day trips or activities work well in Palma when it rains?
Indoor plans usually work best, especially museums, the cathedral, cafés, and time in the historic centre. Short walks are still possible, but it is better to expect crowded pavements and slower movement through the city. Many visitors switch to these options at the same time, so it is worth starting earlier than usual.
