Who this month suits best

What Works Well

  • La Seu and Palau de l'Almudaina are easier to enjoy when February’s crowd level stays low.
  • Castell de Sant Carles works well in daylight with 16.4°C daytime highs and 8.8 sunshine hours.
  • Museu de Mallorca and Gran Hotel CaixaForum give you two strong indoor stops on the 5.4 rainy days.

What Needs Planning

  • 8.2°C nights can make after-dark wandering in Palma’s centre feel short and brisk.
  • February is still pre-spring, so the city lacks March’s fuller outdoor rhythm around La Seu.
  • With only 5.4 rainy days, the issue is less total rain than the occasional interruption to open-air sightseeing.
