Excellent daytime activity when visiting Palma de Mallorca. This was the #1 recommended activity in my guide book and they certainly got it right. The train is the antique train which operates between Palma and Soller. The views along the way are quite amazing and certainly provides a special look at the island. We enjoyed our time walking through the town of Soller as it is quite a nice village. read more

Maybe I hyped up this experience too much to myself beforehand but overall it was not the amazing train ride I was imagining, especially considering the cost (18 euros and then an additional 7 euros to continue on to the beach, so 25 euros per person, one way ). Many friends who traveled to Mallorca prior recommended this trip for the vintage train and scenic journey. Yes, it was a vintage train and lack of A/C aside it was very charming. And, yes, it was indeed scenic. However, my husband and I rented a car for our time in Palma and drove the dauntingly twisty and extremely narrow winding roads of Serra de Tramuntana the day before so perhaps I was spoiled by not only those views but also the privacy and autonomy of the private car experience. We had the flexibility to pull over when we saw mountain goats and video, we were comfortable in A/C, we weren't sardined in a train car with tourists desperate for photos on their large iPads. If you do try this, and I'm not saying you shouldn't, here are some helpful tips: arrive early to ensure you get a window seat. My husband and I had to sit separately in aisle seats because a family of four decided they all needed window seats instead of taking up two rows and all sitting together. Also, bring cash (no credit cards for ticket purchases). Oh, and if you don't mind standing up, once the train is in motion, you can go outside and ride on the enclosed balcony portion. It's lovely and breezy! read more

Do not miss this opportunity! Take the old train from Palma to Soller and continue with the old Los Angeles (?) tram to Port de Soller. Stunning views and some steps back in time. Loud and old fashioned, but in extremely good shape. Only drawback: can be very crowded.... read more

This trip was quite a high price for a short ride to Soller from the port. We were also misinformed about the times at the information booth: we were told trams ran until 11:30pm when they ended at 8:30pm and we had to take cabs back to the port. read more

The train price was over priced and it was pouring down with rain when we went, so it was difficult to see the scenery.

The cost of the round trip ticket between Palma and Sóller is a bit steep, in my view. The timetable suggests one spend the entire day, else you'll be rushed to get the mid afternoon train back to Palma if you want to see the port, which I recommend that you do. Having completed this journey today, I'd recommend a different option. Take the early train out of Palma all the way to Port Sóller, but only one-way. When you're ready to return, grab a cab. The one-way cab ride is around 40 Euro so it is slightly more expensive than the return train journey. However, the cab is liable to be air conditioned and the trip back won't take the better part of two hours. This makes better financial sense if you're with a companion, of course. read more

Slow, and nice. Make time for it. Tip: it can be very busy. As you wait in Palma, walk along the platform: the train's head will be after the second building. Leave the crowds behind and get more chance to find a seat. In Soller, make sure you visit the botanic garden. read more
