Palma de Mallorca is located on an island, so there are only two ways to get there.
The quickest way is to take a plane and land at Palma, which is located about 8 km from the city. The airport is served by many airlines (flag and low cost) and, especially in summer, from tour operators who organize charter flights from several locations. Palma is directly connected with many European countries, but there are no direct links with nations outside Europe except Russia.
To get from the airport to downtown, you can take bus No. 1 (the stop is directly in front of the international arrivals exit). The bus operates from 6:00 am to 2:00 am and has a frequency of about one bus every 10-15 minutes. The cost of the ticket is 2 euro and can be purchased directly on the vehicle asking the driver (who usually speaks at least a bit 'of English and German). This is a city bus, and then makes a large number of stops around the city. The most important is, however, Plaza de Espanya (right after the shopping center El Corte Inglés), where you can find connections with other city buses, buses and trains to destinations outside (the bus station and train station is underground). You can also find an information desk where to get a map of Palma and a partial list of bus lines operating in the city.
If however you do not know the exact bus stop where you get off, ask well as the driver. We will shout something when it's time for you to leave the bus. In any case, every bus is equipped with an LED screen that shows the name of the next stop. The name is repeated by a recorded voice, in both Catalan and English.
The second way to get to Palma is to take a ferry. The port is situated in the south-west of the city and offers regular connections to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bValencia, Denia, Ibiza and Menorca. The port can be reached by the majority of city buses, including the line 1-Palma Airport.
