Is there a direct shuttle bus from Palma Airport to the city center?

A regular shuttle bus links Palma Airport with the heart of the city, making it an easy and affordable way to reach your hotel without renting a car. The EMT bus line 1 runs frequently throughout the day, departing from outside the arrivals area and arriving in central Palma near Plaça d'Espanya, close to the old town and major transport hubs. The journey typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of day, and offers a glimpse of suburban Palma as you arrive.

Tickets can be bought on the bus or at machines in the terminal, and the service is comfortable enough for travelers with luggage. While public buses are the simplest option, there are also private shuttle companies offering door-to-door transfers to Palma and other destinations like Alcudia or Soller if you prefer something more personalized. For those planning to explore beyond Palma, the integrated TIB bus network and Palma’s metro line make onward travel straightforward once you reach the city center. Overall, the airport shuttle bus is a stress-free and budget-friendly way to start your visit on the island.
