Understand

Sóller is a town located near the north west coast of Mallorca. It is set in a green valley surrounded by Mallorca's highest mountains. Much of the town is residential and agricultural: it is full of orange and olive groves. The resort area of Port de Sóller is two kilometres away and is much more tourist oriented.

The combined population of Sóller and Port de Sóller is 12 000.

By car

Sóller is twenty kilometres drive north of Palma de Mallorca on route C-711.

By train

The Ferrocarril de Sóller train service runs between Palma's Plaza d'Espanya and Sóller six times a day between 8am and 7pm. Tickets are €6,50 single and €11 return and can be purchased at the station half an hour before the train leaves. The train journey is slow, taking over an hour, but is scenic, with marvellous views of the mountains on both sides of the tunnel. Note that even in the lower seasons, the train can be very crowded.

By bus

TIB operates several bus services to Port de Sóller. The IB-09 service operates between Palma and Port de Sóller; the IB-12 service operates between Peguera, Valldemossa and Port de Sóller; and the IB-15 service operates between Port de Pollença, Lluc, and Port de Sóller.

Get around

A tram service operates between the Sóller train station and Port de Sóller approximately every half hour between 7am and 8:30pm. Tickets are €2 per journey and are available on board. Like the train service from Palma, the tram service is very crowded, especially before the last train to Palma leaves in the evening.
