We went on the 46 bus from the hotel and wandered down the road. Walked through the gates and up the main vehicle entrance. You need to purchase your ticket from the kiosk near to the large carpark. Entry was 4€ each. Lots of interesting exhibitions - on architecture of Palma, famous residents of the palace/ prison/ castle. Amazing views so walk on up to the top. Hold on to your hats! Toilets are available as is the cafe near to the ticket kiosk. When we left we walked down a huge flight of steps (our friends claimed 453) so chose your entrance wisely! Definitely worth a visit.

We walked from central Palma. 40 mins and was an easy stroll and ended with a walk through the trees on the slopes and lots and lots of steps up to the castle. When we went it was free? Was a Sunday. There are things to see in the rooms but for me it was the views from the top terrace that make it worth the long climb. You can see back to Palma and the port. It’s worth the visit just for that let alone the history of the place and what the building has seen, heard and experienced. If you are able, take the walk from Palma. That’s part of the fun of city breaks. We then walked straight back down the steps and into the port. Excellent few hours.

It was over 500 steps to climb up the hill from where we got off the local bus, but you can catch the tourist bus to the entrance if you prefer. It's cheap to go in, just 4 euros for adults. The museum has all the history of Palma, and the views are spectacular.

What a great visit we had strolling up the winding roads of Palma Marina all the way to the top of the castle. Took approximately 45 minutes walking at normal pace, no steps until you get to the castle. If you prefer, you could get a tourist "hop on hop off" bus to the top. This stops outside castle entrance or local bus, but this only goes partial way up the hill, and you then have a bit of a way to walk. If you're fit and able, then stroll up to the castle from the Marina. Think of the exercise. Once you get to the top, buy your tickets, which are €4.00 each. Sadly, there is absolutely no opportunity to buy a drink of any kind, no tea, no coffee, no water. Thankfully, they have a toilet, but that's it. The views are amazing. It is the best opportunity to get your scenery views of Palma Marina from here. The castle is open every day, 10 am. - 6 p.m., but it's closed on Mondays.

Castle was completed in 1311 and you can walk round many parts of the historic building. There are numerous informative displays about the castle and the history and development of Palma and Mallorca. Entry cost is low €2 for pensioners like us but free on Sundays. A number of busses (lines 4, 20 and 47) go from the city centre stopping at Gomila with a walk uphill by road then about 500 steps to castle entrance. Great views from the ramparts too.

This huge castle looms over town and cannot be missed from the harbor area. It is probably the most noted landmark. You can do a tour or just climb the hill to take a look, which is what we did. A tough climb, but the view of the harbor below was worth the effort.

Stunning views of Palma bay. We got there via the city sightseeing hop on/off bus. You get your entry ticket with your bus ticket ( its cheaper ) Interesting place inside, lots of things to read about the castle and Palma's history through the ages. Look at all the "graffiti" on the walls, lots of the walls having etching on them from down the years. Heard a Sardinian Warbler in the grounds, so was happy with that!. When we went, the cafe and toilets outside the castle grounds were closed (Feb), but toilets open on the inside.

Lovely old castles with rooms to visit showing artefacts from its history. You can walk on the top tier and see spectacular views of the harbour, gardens, ocean liners below. More to see than you expect. Access is either walk up a steep hill to the castle or catching a sight seeing bus that takes you to the entrance. Entrance fee included in city seeing price. They run every half hour. Well worth a visit for the culture vultures out there.

Worth the climb (lots of steps to get to top) and cost to see such a historic and unique castle. Kids under 13 were free and my teens only 2 euro. We spent about 40 minutes loookong around and took great photos of the coast line. We walked from cruise port and it took about 35 min

Bit of a hike up to the Castell and we found it wasn't very well signposted - particularly through the wooded area. No shop or cafe at the top so take water. Well worth it though as the Castell is really interesting, well kept and has amazing views of Palma.
