The Sóller train at a glance

The Sóller train runs between Palma and the town of Sóller in the Serra de Tramuntana. In German it is known as the Roter Blitz. The ride takes about 60 minutes in the timetable the operator displays, and the carriages are old wooden ones, which is much of the charm.

Sóller is not on the coast. To reach the sea you change to a separate tram that runs down to Port de Sóller, a small harbour under the mountains. Many visitors combine both in one day, with lunch by the water before the ride back.

Train from Sóller to Palma

The train from Sóller to Palma takes about 60 minutes as well. The displayed plan starts at 09:00 and ends with the 19:30 departure.

The first train from Palma leaves at 10:10. For other times, TIB bus line 203 runs from Palma through Valldemossa and Deià to Sóller, and you should check its current timetable. See our guide to Valldemossa and Deià for that route.

Port de Sóller and the tram

Sóller and Port de Sóller are two separate places. The town sits in the valley, the harbour lies by the sea, and an orange tram links them. It is the easiest way to get from the train to the water.

Tram times in October 2026: from Sóller the first runs at 08:00, then 09:00 and 10:00, after which the service gets denser. The last tram shown leaves Sóller at 20:35. From the harbour the first runs at 08:30, then 09:30 and 10:25, and the last at 21:05. Intervals are not identical all day, so do not count on a fixed half-hour rhythm.

At the harbour you can walk along the front or take a boat. The boat to Sa Calobra leaves from here and takes about one hour. Read our Sa Calobra guide for fares and the November schedule, or browse more boat trips on Mallorca.

Sóller, about 11:10

Walk through the town and have a coffee before you move on to the harbour.

Port de Sóller, midday

If you take the bus with a bank card, validate the same card or device when you board and when you get off. A missing second tap costs €0.30 per person extra. Up to five people can travel on one card. TIB trips with the Tarjeta Única or Intermodal card are free in 2026, but ordinary bank-card and single fares still apply, and there is no general free pass for tourists.

Tips before you go

The carriages are old wooden ones, so bring water in summer and check the weather before you set off. Our weather guide shows what to expect month by month. Check the operator's page for winter operation before you plan a trip between November and March.

If you prefer to stay in the valley overnight, see where to stay.
