What are the best stroller-friendly routes to explore around Palma and nearby towns?

Palma’s historic centre and waterfront offer thoughtfully paved promenades and wide sidewalks, ideal for strollers. The leafy Passeig del Born, with its gentle gradient and café-lined streets, combines stroller-friendly terrain with plenty of spots to pause and soak in the city’s charm. For a quieter alternative, the flat paths along the Parc de la Mar provide ample space and great views of the Cathedral and harbor. Just beyond Palma, the Soller railway line, famous for its vintage wooden cars, is a smooth and scenic way to reach the town of Soller without fussing over bumpy roads.

In Soller itself, the town’s pedestrianised centre makes pushing a stroller easy, while nearby, the accessible path beside the Port de Soller promenade is flat and offers stunning sea views. Along the coast, Cala Major and its promenade enable easy exploration with a stroller, linking to quiet beaches and beachfront cafés. If you venture north to Alcudia, the flat, pedestrian-friendly old town is a pleasant place to stroll, especially in the early morning when it’s less busy.

Avoiding narrow alleys, steep slopes in the Tramuntana mountains, and some cobbled streets in smaller villages is wise, as these can pose challenges with a stroller. Instead, aim for coastal promenades and main roads like the Ma-13 or Ma-19, which often have sidewalks and gentler inclines. The TIB bus network is also stroller-friendly and can help you combine both walking and local transport to explore the island smoothly. Planning routes around parks, waterfronts, and gentle promenades will ensure a relaxed and scenic outing for you and your little one.
