Palma de Majorca

Getting Here and Around

Palma's Empresa Municipal de Transportes runs 34 bus lines and a tourist train in and around the Majorcan capital. Most buses leave from the city station, next to the Inca railway terminus on the Plaça d'Espanya; a few terminate at other points in Palma. The tourist office on the Plaça d'Espanya has schedules. Bus No. 1 connects the airport with the city center and the port. Bus No. 2 circumnavigates the historic city center. Bus No. 20 connects the city center with Porto Pi and the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró. The No. 21 line connects S'Arenal with the airport. Fare for a single ride is €1.25.

For sightseeing in Palma, take the open-top City Sightseeing bus that departs from stops throughout the town, including Plaça de la Reina, and travels along the Passeig Marítim and up to the Castell de Bellver. Tickets (€15) are valid for 24 hours, and you can get on and off as many times as you wish. All Palma tourist offices have information and details. Also in Palma, you can hire a horse-drawn carriage with driver at the bottom of the Born, on Avinguda Antonio Maura, in the nearby cathedral square, and on the Plaça d'Espanya, at the side farthest from the railway station. A tour of the city costs €30 for a half hour, €50 for an hour.

Boats from Palma to neighboring beach resorts leave from the jetty opposite the Auditorium, on the Passeig Marítim. The tourist office has a schedule.
