palma de mallorca, spain

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 20:00

Palma de Mallorca is the only true city on the island. It's a city located on the island of Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain. The city has evolved into a destination in its own right, rather than just a brief stop for vacationers on their way to the island's numerous beach resorts. This is due to its increasingly cosmopolitan vibe, its cutting-edge galleries and museums, a vibrant cultural scene, and a growing number of stylish boutiques, trendy bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. Palma de Mallorca is a fantastic place to visit. The city boasts a rich architectural diversity, with various styles blending together. The remnants of Arab and Jewish cultures, the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture of its churches, convents, and manor houses, along with its comprehensive infrastructure of cultural attractions, make Palma a unique cultural destination. Don't miss the chance to stroll through the narrow streets, take a close look at the interior courtyards, and look up to admire the impressive architecture on the tops of various buildings where Gaudi and his followers left their mark. The city's heritage faithfully reflects the peoples and cultures that have passed through the island over the centuries. As a versatile, cosmopolitan city on the beach, Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands, has something to offer everyone.

Day 9-10

florence/pisa/tuscany (livorno), italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 20:00

Florence remains as vibrant and beautiful today as it was when its wool and silk traders and bankers revolutionized the economy of 13th century Tuscany, and the art of Dante and Michelangelo left the world in awe. Florence was the heart of the Italian Renaissance. The results of the city's revival can still be seen in its seemingly endless array of museums, churches, and palaces. With its historic center recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Duomo, the elegant and stunning cathedral, towers over the city and serves as a clear landmark during your explorations. The River Arno, which runs through the oldest part of the city, is topped with the Ponte Vecchio bridge, which is lined with shops and supported by stilts. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the only bridge that withstood attacks during WWII. Standing by the river at night, when the city is lit up with countless twinkling lights, is an unforgettable experience. But more than just stones and paint remain of Florence's unparalleled heritage; the city's unyielding spirit has also endured through the centuries, ensuring that Florentine life today is vibrant and sophisticated.
