Being the capital of the Balearic Islands, Palma is a large and bustling city that’s also as easy to get around as any other major city in Europe. And like many other cities across Spain and the rest of the continent, Palma operates a reliable and efficient metro/tram network that’s both affordable and easy to use. The system operates two lines across 16 stations and spans from the far north of the city to Palma Intermodal Station in the city centre (Plaça d'Espanya). This should be your number one choice of transport if you need to get from one side of the city to the other quickly and on a budget.
