Ferrocarril de Sóller: a train journey from Palma to the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range
One of Mallorca’s most iconic attractions is the Sóller Railway, a historic train that has connected Palma with Sóller since 1912. Travelling on this wooden train is not just a journey: it’s an experience that combines history, culture, and unforgettable views of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
From Palma to Sóller: A Journey into the Past
The trip begins at the Sóller Railway station in Palma, right next to Plaza de España. From there, the train sets off on a 27-kilometre journey through tunnels, viaducts, and orange groves. Its beautifully preserved wooden carriages make every ride feel like a journey back in time.
Arriving in the Heart of the Village
The Sóller station is just a few steps from the Plaça Constitució, the beating heart of the village. From here, visitors can explore cafés, restaurants, local shops, and of course, several hotels in Sóller where they can enjoy a comfortable and authentic stay.
From train to Tram
To complete the experience, many travellers choose to continue to the coast with the Sóller tram, which connects the village with the Port of Sóller in just 25 minutes. The wooden tram passes through orange groves and along coastal avenues, ending by the Mediterranean, where beaches and seaside restaurants await.
Tips to Enjoy the Sóller Railway
- Book your tickets in advance in high season.
- Combine the train with a stroll along the harbour or a meal overlooking the sea.
- Make the most of the experience whether you are coming from Palma or already staying in Sóller.
