By car

Travellers can only drive to Palma from other cities in Mallorca; there are no bridges or any road links to other islands or to the mainland. Most cities and towns in Mallorca have road links directly to Palma.There are several companies in Majorca that offer transfer facilities from the airport to any destination on the island. Balearic transfer services (http://www.balearictransf...) is one of these companies.

By bus

EMT (http://www.emtpalma.es/EM...) ph. 971 43 10 24 runs the local bus service in Palma. Regional buses to destinations around the island are operated mainly by TIB Transport de les Iles Balears (http://www.tib.caib.es). All EMT buses are equipped with onboard screens and loudspeakers that state the current and next stop, in both Spanish and Catalán.EMT's line number 1 will take you from the airport through Palma downtown and to the outer dock of the main harbor where most large cruise ships dock. Arrivals/departures every 15 minutes from 7:00am until 8:00pm. They operate once every 30 minutes from 6AM to 10PM. The fare is €2.00. There is only one fare, so you don't need to specify your destination to the driver/conductor! All other local EMT destinations within Palma cost €1.25, so you need to tell the driver "no aeroporto, por favor!".

In an effort to reduce drunk driving and get less people driving on the weekends, Palma offers a ´bus de nit´ bus service. In Catalán, it obviously means ´night bus´. It is full of locals, and Spaniards from the peninsula and runs from 10PM to 6AM every 20 to 30 minutes all night long. The bus costs 1€ and goes all the way down the infamous ´paseo maritimo´, which is where all the best clubs are in Palma.

Tip; if you really enjoy clubbing, do not be afraid to go a few miles along the Paseo Maritimo. The numbers start at 1 and go up to about 80. The biggest clubs i.e. Tito´s and Level are located in the 20´s. Farther down the Paseo the music gets better, the people are more mature, and you will find less completely drunk tourists.

By train

TIB (http://tib.caib.es/) runs train services between Mallorcan towns. There is no train service to the airport. The main Train, Bus, and Metro station 'Estacio Intermodal' is underground, at Placa Espanya in Palma.

'Ferrocarril de Soller' operates the quaint wooden electric train from Placa Espanya in Palma to Soller town, in the north-west of the island, and from where you can continue your relaxing scenic journey to Puerto Soller on the companion Electric Tram.
