The scent of citrus groves fills the air as the vintage train gently winds through the Tramuntana, bringing you from Palma to the charming town of Sóller. This historic railway is one of the most beloved public transport options on the island, connecting the capital with the northwestern valley in a journey that's as scenic as it is practical. From Sóller, a historic tram runs down to the Port de Sóller, while buses link to nearby villages like Fornalutx and Biniaraix.
Beyond the train, the TIB bus network covers much of the island, including routes along the Ma-10 that hug the rugged coastline, connecting towns like Pollenca and Alcudia. For getting to smaller, less accessible spots such as Valldemossa or Deia on the Tramuntana slopes, buses run regularly though routes can be indirect, sometimes requiring a change in Palma or Inca. The Ma-13 and Ma-19 roads are major arteries where buses provide reliable connections, although service frequency varies outside peak seasons.
Taxis are plentiful in Palma and the main towns, and for a more authentic local experience, the red minibuses known as “Rondallas” serve some rural stretches, though less formally than buses. Whether you’re aiming to explore mountain villages, coastlines such as Cala Mondrago, or reach iconic sites like the beaches of Es Trenc and Formentor, public transport here offers a blend of convenience and charm, often enhanced by stunning landscapes along the way. Planning your journey around bus and train schedules will maximize your time soaking up the island’s culture and natural beauty, without the stress of driving winding roads.
