  • There are two ways to get to Palma, one is ship and the other by plane. Palma“s airport is one of the most modern in Europe, and has connections to all over Europe. There is a ferry from Valencia, Barcelona and Alicante daily, that takes about 8 hours.
    For moving around Palma i would recommend you to rent a car, its the easiest way to see the whole island. Taxi is quite expensive, its only worht to use it in the city. There is bus connections from the city to the nearby beaches like Palmanova, C“an Pastilla, S“Arenal. I would recommend you to take the train to a town called Soller. Its a slow train that goes through the mountains, and gives you beautiful views.
    Apart from this, most beaches have scooter, Bicycle and Rollerblades rent, which is quite good to move around in the beach towns.

  • The best way to know the entire island is renting a car.
    It is very cheap, but you must inform yourself where to go because are hidden places you cannot miss.

  • If you are in a differnt country, air is the best, though you will definitely have a stop-over if flying in from the U.S.
    If you are coming from somewhere in Spain, there is a ferry from Valencia, which takes between 6 and 9 hours. It is not too expensive, and is an interesting ride.
    Getting around on foot is quite easy, as Palma is small. If you want to see the rest of the island, you can rent a car or take public transportation. Within the city, there are buses which are easy to ride. With just a little Spanish, you can ask the driver to let you know when you have reached your destination, or ask another passenger. 'Bono bus' tickets can be bought at any tabaqueria and give you ten rides fairly cheaply.

  • Beware of taxis when you get off the airport. Most will charge you a hefty 15-16 euros just to get to Arenal, which is a meager 4 Km from the airport. Instead, take the bus to Palma and then transfer to Arenal. Cost of journey: 4 euros.

  • Driving on Mallorca is very easy. The roads are excellent (a few on the northwest coast can be a bit daunting) and most things are well posted (although you will find a few signs missing). We rented our car through AutoEurope, which then gave us our rental through GoldCar (I think this was the name...it's pretty popular in Spain). Our experience was very good. We probably paid 120 EURO for the week and we got a compact, essentially brand new car. All I can really say is having a car on this island will save your holiday - you'll need to get away from the tourist swarms!

  • We were staying in the resort of Palma Nova and we hired a taxi to bring us to Palma, which was only twenty - twenty five minutes drive. Between four, it only cost around £5 Irish each.

    Rental Car / Taxi: take a taxi or rent a car
  • By tina_vietnam on January 4, 2003

  • getting from the airport to the city center of Palma is very convenient. Take a taxi (20 min) or rent a car. The advantage of renting a car is that you can use it for further travel on the island.
    If you only stay in Palma you might use it to get to 'El Arenal', the clubs outside town and to the beaches near by as well as the fabulous Miró Museum (with the ancient finca of Miró). The only problem is the parking spaces are very rare.
