Getting Around

How to get to and from Palma de Mallorca Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at PMI

Palma de Mallorca Airport is connected to Palma de Mallorca and the wider Spain transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

EMT bus line A1 runs directly from outside arrivals to Palma's Plaça d'Espanya intermodal station in about 20-30 minutes, priced roughly €5 cash / €3 by card; from there travelers can connect onward to Palma's M1 metro line or regional trains — but there is no direct train/metro service reaching the airport itself.

Taxi

Official metered taxis queue outside arrivals; commonly cited 24-hour fares to central Palma run roughly €20-30 for about a 15-20 minute ride, though exact EUR pricing shifts with traffic, luggage, and night surcharges, so treat this as a general range rather than a fixed rate.

Rideshare

Uber and other app-based services (e.g. Bolt, Cabify) operate at Palma de Mallorca Airport with dedicated pickup listings, though rideshare regulation in the Balearics has shifted in recent years — check the app on arrival rather than assuming a fixed pickup point or guaranteed availability.

Car Rental

All major international and local rental agencies have counters in the arrivals area, reflecting Mallorca's status as a very high-volume leisure destination.

Insider tip

There is no train or metro directly to Palma airport, despite what some trip planners assume — if you're heading toward Plaça d'Espanya to connect onward by rail, budget for the A1 bus or a short taxi first rather than expecting to walk straight onto a train.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Palma de Mallorca Airport website before travel.

Ground Transport Tips for PMI

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Palma de Mallorca Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.

If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.

Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Palma de Mallorca city traffic can significantly extend journey times.

Download offline maps for Palma de Mallorca before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.

If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
