The Sóller tram to the port

An electric tram from 1913

The Sóller tram was inaugurated on 4 October 1913 and was the first electric tram in Mallorca. It was designed by the engineer Pedro Garau to link the town with its port, and its fleet keeps the three original motor cars, numbered 1 to 3, built by Carde y Escoriaza in Zaragoza, along with two trailers of the same period. In 1954 the jardineras, the open-sided trailers that run in good weather, were bought from the Palma trams, and later five cars arrived from Lisbon, adapted to the 914-millimetre track gauge.

From Plaça d'Espanya to the port promenade

The line is 4,868 metres long. It leaves Plaça d'Espanya, opposite the train station, goes down Avinguda Cristòfol Colom, beside the municipal market, passes Es Born and Plaça de la Constitució and crosses the Torrent Major on an iron bridge built by La Maquinista Terrestre y Marítima. Then it runs through the orange groves of the L'Horta district, with two stops it makes only if someone pulls the cord and the bell rings, and reaches the port along the bay shore as far as Plaça de Sa Torre. It ends at the old port tram station, which is now the Mar y Sol hotel and restaurant. The journey takes between 20 minutes and half an hour, depending on the stops it makes.

On the hour, €10 on board

From Sóller it leaves on the hour, from 8:00 to 19:00. From the Port it returns at half past, from 8:30 to 19:30. The ticket costs €10 per journey and is paid on board; there is no need to book. If you come from Palma on the Sóller train, the combined return ticket Palma – Port de Sóller costs €40 and includes the tram; with that ticket the train time is fixed, but you can take any tram from Sóller to the Port.

The company does not allow animals except guide dogs or pets in an approved carrier, nor bicycles or electric scooters.

From 23 November to 22 December, by bus

This year the tram stops from 23 November to 22 December 2026 and is replaced by an alternative bus run by the company. The Palma train also stops running from 23 November until 1 February 2027: see the listing for the train and tram station. Apart from the tram, the TIB bus 204 links Sóller and the Port every half hour all year.

With a pushchair or small children

With small children it is an outing in itself, and for anyone who arrives in Sóller without a car it is the natural way down to the port. If you have a lot of luggage or a pushchair, bear in mind that in summer and at beach hours it is full.
