La Rambla and Passeig des Born

During your exploration of things to see in Palma de Mallorca, there are two streets which you can´t miss. Firstly, La Rambla boulevard which has grown on top of the old riverbed of La Riera and offers a huge variety of floristry stalls. To get to La Rambla, go down the stairs from Plaça Major. Off the main drag of La Rambla, you will find small, atmospheric streets filled with equally cosy and characterful pubs. The second, unmissable walking boulevard is the famous avenue of Passeig des Born, connecting the Plaza Juan Carlos I to the Avenida de Antonio Maura. This boulevard is decorated with Sphynx statues – two on each side – and is lined with tall trees creating a peaceful, shady walkway. It is also full of eclectic bars and restaurants, where you can sample some traditional dishes of Mallorca. Save some time to wander down this pleasant boulevard and stop for a coffee or a beer. Along the Passeig des Born, you can find a selection of designer boutiques, making it one of the busiest shopping areas in the city. During the Christmas season, the boulevard is impressively decorated with beautiful illuminations.
