There are many ways by which you, as a tourist, can travel around the enchanting city of Palma. If you wish to travel at your own pace, without having to deal with tired feet or compete with other harried tourists or commuters, then you can book a car for the day or for the entire duration of your stay in Palma.

If you don’t want to spend unnecessarily on a private car and would rather experience the culture that is uniquely Palma, then you are more than welcome to move around in local public transport. Your first option would be to take the bus. Buses are cheap in Palma and the network is relatively wide spread. You can take a bus from the airport to the city centre, and from the city centre, there are buses that can take you to any part of the Island. Your other option would be to explore the island by train. There are two train routes in Mallorca: an old railway that traverses from Palma to Soller; and a modern system that bridges the cities of Palma and Inca. If you don’t want to take the buses nor the railway system, you can always hail a taxi cab and have the driver shuttle you to and from your destination. It may be quite costly but if you snag a ride with a chatty cab driver, you would, most likely, be entertained with interesting trivia about the city which could, be worth the extra Euros.

However, many agree that the best way to explore and travel around the city of Palma is to go about it the traditional way – by foot. The city of Palma is quite compact and most of the tourist attractions are within walking distance from each other. You can take a leisurely stroll along the Parc de la Mar and within minutes, find yourself fronting the majestic Cathedral La Seu. It is also only by exploring the city environs by foot that you would be able to access the Arab Baths and its quaint gardens.

So go on, take a bus, ride a train or walk – just go out and explore. The entire city of Palma is just waiting to be discovered.
