Getting around can be manageable for travellers with limited mobility, especially if planned ahead. Palma's TIB bus network includes low-floor buses with ramps and designated spaces for wheelchairs, making routes to popular spots like Alcudia and Pollenca accessible. Many buses along the Ma-13 and Ma-19, the island's main roads, also accommodate mobility aids, helping visitors reach the Serra de Tramuntana or the east coast.
The historic Soller train between Palma and Soller is charming but may present challenges for some wheelchair users, with limited step-free access. However, taxis in Palma and other towns often have wheelchair-accessible vehicles available upon request; it’s best to book these in advance to ensure availability. Some local tour operators specialize in accessible excursions, offering vehicles equipped to handle mobility devices to places like Valldemossa or Cala Mondrago.
Information centers in Palma provide helpful resources and sometimes assist in arranging suitable transport. With good preparation, visitors who rely on mobility aids can enjoy the island’s highlights without undue stress, whether attending events like Sant Sebastià in Palma or simply savouring local delights such as pa amb oli or a glass of Binissalem wine.
