A station with nostalgic charm
The station of the Ferrocarril de Sóller is located just a few steps from #Plaça d’Espanya# and immediately transports visitors back in time. The historic building, dating from 1912, is the starting point of one of Europe’s most charming train journeys.

A journey through Mallorca’s countryside
The Ferrocarril de Sóller is an electric narrow-gauge railway connecting Palma with the picturesque town of Sóller in the northwest of the island. The journey takes about an hour and passes through the varied landscape of the Tramuntana mountains – past olive groves, orange plantations, tunnels and viaducts offering wonderful views. The lovingly restored wooden carriages with their open platforms make the trip an unforgettable experience for young and old alike.
An ideal excursion from Palma
The nostalgic train ride is one of the most popular day trips from Palma and can easily be combined with a visit to Sóller’s harbour or a ride on the historic tram to the beach. Early arrivals can take a look around the small station or enjoy a few quiet minutes on a bench in the garden before departure. The Ferrocarril de Sóller combines technical heritage with natural beauty – a highlight for anyone wishing to discover Mallorca in a special way.
