Visited here many times in past and had returned here last week again always best to arrive early as possible as it’s very busy and hard to find car spaces. The Town is lovely and always bustling place to visit. The Chopin House I found was lovely and nice gardens I’ve always visited inside The Chopin museum in past but this time didn’t but last time I had it was worth the visit got few gifts from the gift shop there too.

My partner and I took a bus trip to Valldemossa and to Soller. Wonderful bus tour. We left our hotel for Valldemossa. Which means moss in the valley. It was a Muslim named Mossa. And he owned the valley. There is a monastery there. In which, among other things, Chopin has lived together with his female friend for three months. He was suffering from tuberculosis and believed that he would be healthier if he came there. Unfortunately, he arrived in December. And it was very cold. So unfortunately he did not get healthier from the stay. But went back to France. In Soller you can hike, take the train into Palma. Take the tram down to the harbor in Soller. Fantastic experience. Very worthwhile full-day excursion.

12 euro ticket (extra for access to upper terrace) gets you entry to palace and monastery rooms, including Cell 1 for the exhibit on Chopin and The Sands. It also includes the municipal museum, which is a bit of a random range of displays. However, you have to buy a separate 5 euro ticket for Cell 2, which were Chopin's rooms with his piano. We didn't bother as it didn't seem worth it for a couple of extra rooms. Quite interesting, but there should be explanatory text in each of the rooms as not everyone wants to download the guide on their phone. (I was short on battery!) Irrespective of the museum, Valdemossa is beautiful and worthy of a visit in itself but parking is tricky!
