The Top 24 Best Holiday Destinations in December

PALMA, MAJORCA

Majorca is somewhere you’ve probably visited – or least considered visiting – in the summer. But did you know that its largest city, Palma, has plenty going for it winter too? From architectural gems to designer shops (including the likes of Louis Vuitton) in Paseo del Borne, there’s a lot to keep you busy. Snap up discounted tickets for Palma Aquarium in the winter, and if you’re considering making this year a particularly magical Christmas, attend Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve (a Majorcan tradition) at the city’s Cathedral La Seu – a gothic masterpiece. If you’re visiting a little later, the Sant Sebastià Festival will certainly brighten up January, and Bellver Castle is well worth a visit at at any time of year.
