Navigating the island beyond the regular TIB bus network is surprisingly straightforward and offers a glimpse into Mallorca's character. In Palma, the metro system connects the city centre to Palma Airport and a few suburbs, providing a quick way to traverse urban areas without the hassle of traffic. For a more scenic route, the historic Soller railway links Palma with Soller village, winding through the Serra de Tramuntana and perfect for soaking in the island's dramatic landscape.
Outside Palma, car hire is popular for exploring remote coves like Cala Llombards or the beaches of Es Trenc, where public transport is limited. Cycling enthusiasts can follow well-marked routes along the Ma-13 or Ma-19 roads, taking in coastal views and stopping in places like Pollenca or Valldemossa. In towns such as Alcudia and Port de Pollenca, taxi fleets are easily hailed or booked, providing flexibility when buses run infrequently.
On the north coast, ferries enhance travel options, especially if you're island-hopping between Formentor and nearby smaller ports. For short distances within towns and villages, walking remains a favorite way to experience narrow streets lined with local markets and boulangeries offering ensaimadas. All these options complement the bus network and let visitors tailor their journey to the rhythm of island life.
