By car

Manacor is on the MA-15that goes from Palma de Mollrca to Cala Rajada leads. The MA-15 is developed as a motorway until shortly before Manacor. It leads past Manacor in the north. The MA-14that runs towards the city from the south ends here. She connects Manacor with Felanitx and Sanatanyí. The north leads MA-3322that overland to MA-12 leads. It opens about in the middle between Can Picafort and Artà. To the west connects the MA-4020 Manacor with Porto Cristo. The MA-4021 also leads west and leads over Son Carrió to s'Illiot. The MA-4015who have favourited Manacor with the coastal road MA-4014 connects. So one comes after Cala Mandia and Calas de Mallorca.

mobility

Manacor is a bigger city, especially since many of the attractions are also on the outskirts. If you really only want to explore the city center and come by bus or train, then you can get around easily on foot. If you want to see a little more, then you should be able to fall back on a car, that's the only way to see everything.

Tourist Attractions

The most important sight is certainly downtown Manacor. It is designed almost exclusively as a pedestrian zone and has retained its charm not least because the large tourist flows have not yet reached Manacor. The church is also located here Nuestra Senyora dels Dolors. With its almost 80 meter high tower, it is an eye-catcher. It is built in the neo-Gothic style and dates from the 19th century. This has always been the place of the main church in Manacor. So it is a new building.

An important sight is the Hospitalet Vell settlement. It is an archaeological site where a village was excavated that dates back to around 1000 BC. There are also later finds that indicate settlement around the turn of the millennium. You can visit the excavations. Many exhibits are in the Historical museum issued by Manacor. The excavations are located in the south of Manacor and can only be reached by car.
