Passeig des Born
Famous tree lined avenue with shops, cafes & entertainments
For more than a century this short, tree-lined promenade has been at the heart of city life; it has witnessed fiestas, demonstrations and countless generations of families enjoying an evening stroll. During the Franco era it was renamed after the dictator, but everyone still called it 'the Born'. Now lined with a selection of mid and high range shops, the central promenade also hosts music and dancing during Palma's many fiestas.
Arguably the most attractive avenue in Palma, its stone benches welcome visitors and locals alike to take a moment to enjoy its beauty. Lofty trees, decorative street lamps and a pulsing fountain make for an uplifting experience. Being so close to the iconic La Seu Cathedral and Almudaina Palace means there's a steady flow of people always passing through.
Luxury boutiques and the popular chains draw shoppers its way, who are either on their way back or heading towards Avenida Jaume III. If a stone bench doesn't appeal, not to worry, there are plenty of bars and restaurants with comfortable outdoor seating too.
Come here to feel the pulse of Palma from a seat at a pavement cafe.
