What public transport options are available for reaching the village of Sóller from Palma?

The charming town of Sóller, nestled in the Tramuntana mountains, is well connected to Palma by several public transport options that suit different preferences. The historic wooden train running along the MA-11 is perhaps the most scenic choice, winding through orange groves and rugged landscapes, offering a relaxed pace and memorable views. Departures from Palma's main station are regular enough to fit most day trip schedules, making it easy to enjoy a morning in the capital and an afternoon exploring the valley.

For a more conventional route, the TIB bus network also provides services between Palma and Sóller, as well as to nearby towns in the northwest. Buses typically run along the Ma-11 road as well and offer a direct and economical way to travel, ideal if you’re heading onward to coastal spots like Port de Sóller or hiking routes in the vicinity. Tickets are straightforward to buy, often available at stations or via mobile apps.

Once in Sóller, local buses and taxis can take you further afield to mountain villages such as Fornalutx or to the beach at Cala Deia. The combination of train or bus with these local options means you can explore without a car and still experience the best of the Tramuntana and the north coast. Checking schedules ahead is wise, as frequency may vary seasonally, especially outside the summer months.
