Train Sóller – starting point of Palma Scavenger Hunt and city tour
The Ferrocarril de Sóller is a railway which operates the electrified ,yellow tracks running between the towns of Sóller and Palma on the island of Mallorca and also stops at smaller towns between them. It was firstly constructed by Siemens. The route begins from north of the capital , continues through the mountains and many tunnels and ends to the railway station of Soller. It is a very nice place to start your walk and maybe you can buy a ticket and do one of it’s famous routes!
Plaza Espana
The Plaza de España in the city of Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, is a public space, the nerve center of communications in the Mallorcan capital, since the Intermodal Station is located there.
Many streets and squares converge on the square: Juan March and Alexandre Rosselló avenues, Parque de las Estaciones and Eusebio Estada street. Where the Palma walls used to be located is the Plaza de la Porta Pintada, which connects with San Miguel and Olmos streets.
Plaza Mayor
The space occupied by the Plaza Mayor in Palma de Mallorca is that of the old convent of San Felipe Neri and some neighboring houses. Until 1823 the square was the seat of the Inquisition. Once the headquarters of the Inquisition was demolished, it took ten years before the works began on the first wing, which was completed in 1838.
Church of Santa Eulalia
The church of Santa Eulalia is a religious temple of Catholic worship under the invocation of Eulalia de Barcelona in the city of Palma de Mallorca. It has been an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1931.
Basilica de Sant Fransesc
The San Francisco de Palma de Mallorca Convent is a complex made up of the minor basilica of the same name. Construction began at the end of the 13th century. On February 4, 1881, the convent’s Gothic cloister was declared a National Monument.
Església de Monti-Sion de Palma
Monti-sion Convent is a Jesuit convent located at Monti-sion Street, no. 22, from the city of Mallorca. In 1561 the Society of Jesus arrived in Mallorca commanded by Jeroni Nadal. The Jesuits occupied what had been the previous headquarters of the first General Study Lul·lià, before it was the site of the Major Synagogue. In 1571 Bartomeu Coch began work on the new church, financed by Ramon de Verí. The great influence of the Jesuits, in the sociocultural world, made them enemies with the royal power.
Cathedral basilica La Seu
The cathedral is 121 metres long, 40 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall. Designed in the Catalan gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but only finished in 1601. It sits within the old city of Palma atop the former citadel of the Roman city. Somewhere between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the episcopal palace. It also overlooks the Parc de la Mar and the Mediterranean Sea. This is one of the most important things to do while in Palma. A very impressive building that won’t let you down.
Placa de la Reina
The “Plaça de la Reina”, built in 1863, is located at the end of the Paseo del Borne. It is west of the cathedral in the historic center of the island’s capital, Palma. In the middle of the square is a round fountain surrounded by a flowerbed in honor of Joan Alcover. There are also some ombú trees in the complex that are otherwise only native to South America. Furthermore there is a stand for the coachmen from Palma. It is a very nice square where you can take a break.
Lonja de Mallorca
La Lonja de Palma de Mallorca is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture in Mallorca. It was built by Guillem Sagrera between 1420 and 1452 and was the headquarters of the College of Merchants. This old fish market is a great place for nice photos!
Sa Feixina park – ending point of Palma Scavenger Hunt and city tour
Very Tranquil Quiet Space to have a walk around or sit and Relax, lovely fountains and Monument with lovely detail. Nice to have a break away from the traffic. It is lovely in the summer time, very popular with the locals at the weekend.

Die Tour hat uns gut gefallen. Wir haben Orte besucht, an denen wir sonst nicht bewusst langgegangen wären. Zwischenzeitlich waren gleich mehrere Kirchen hintereinander. Das hat mir nicht ganz so gefallen. In allem aber interessant.

Die selbstgeführte Tour durch Palma ist sehr gut, wenn man moderiert auf eigene Faust Palma erkunden möchte. Bei Nutzung der “Schnitzel-Jagd-App” kommen immer wieder Infotexte, die ein bisschen was zur Historie der besuchten Plätze und zusätzlicher Örtlichkeiten beitragen. Die Rätsel sind mit ein wenig Nachdenken gut lösbar und unterhaltsam. Man schaut so auf Details wie Inschriften und Symbole, die man sonst bei der Vielzahl an historischen Gebäuden gerne übersieht. Wichtig: Start von Placa de Espana Es ist sonst sehr umständlich, wenn man wie wir erst bei der Kathedrale damit anfängt.

Im Prinzip war die Tour gut, aber es gab Probleme bei der Einrichtung der Mobiltelefone. Das Procedere hat sich uns nicht gleich erschlossen. Dann war es leider keine Rundtour, so dass wir nach 3,5 Stunden noch das Auto suchen mussten. Zum Glück hatten wir uns den Standort digital zugeschickt. Und ein Blick vom Hafen auf die Kathedrale wäre noch ein Sahnehäubchen gewesen. Generell hätte man um dort Kathedrale herum noch 1-2 Quests mehr einbauen können. Ansonsten eine informative Tour, mit Rätseln, die man gut lösen kann. Hat uns gefallen.

Déjà utiliser dans plusieurs villes, je trouve que celui de Palma est un peu moins intéressant. Très concentré sur des églises, 5 sur les 10 énigmes, c’est un peu dommage alors que tellement d’autres lieux mériteraient plus d’attention. Parcours très (trop) long et rébarbatif, qui reste quand même intéressant. Cependant les informations historiques manquent de sens.

L’activité nous a permis de visiter la ville et de voir beaucoup de choses que nous ne connaissions pas. Certaines énigmes sont plus simples que les autres mais en général on ne passe pas plus de 10 min au même endroit sauf si on veut visiter.

Few questions were incorrect or the information wasn’t on the building as stated. Could’ve been more varied, very churchy when there’s other interesting points all around. Have done a few of these in other cities which were more interesting.

We used too many clues as the riddles were quite abstract in some cases. The clues then made it too obvious. We enjoyed it overall though!

Man läuft gezielt eine Attraktion nach der anderen an, lernt etwas über die Geschichte und es macht Spaß zu rätseln. Man schaut sich dadurch alles genauer an und kommt auch an Orte, die man sonst vielleicht nicht angesteuert hätte. Würde ich in jeder Stadt nochmal machen!

Wir haben uns sehr amüsiert, auch wenn man bei einigen Rätseln/Aufgaben nicht recht wusste, was zu tun war. Wir haben rund 4h aufgewendet, da wir relativ viele Pausen eingelegt haben – ich ksnn mir vorstellen, dass man sonst der Schnitzeljagd etwas überdrüssig wird. Wir haben definitiv viele Orte entdeckt, die sonst unbeachtet geblieben wären! Preis/Leistung okay. Aber warum Frage 2 plötzlich auf Spanisch eingeblendet wurde (gewählte Sprache: Englisch), war nicht klar.
