What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Ferrocarril de Sóller for its stunning mountain scenery, historic charm, and the delightful tram ride to Port de Sóller. The vintage train offers a unique journey through picturesque landscapes. However, many find the ticket prices to be quite high, especially for a round trip, and the tram can get uncomfortably crowded during peak times.
"We had a lovely time catching the train from Palma to Soller. I would recommend purchasing your tickets in advance and getting to the station at least 30 minutes before the train is due if you want to sit together. People queue on the platform up to an hour before departure time. We arrived to get the 12 midday train but there were no tickets so we had to wait until 1.30pm which was fine. The train takes around an hour and the route is very scenic, it is an old wooden train. It was a really pleasant trip. There are many opportunities for great photos and videos along the way, through olives groves and mountain views. Would recommend, as it is a lovely trip. We were told by friends after that is is more cost effective to get the train there and the bus back, but we had already purchased return tickets. Once at Soller, you can get the tram down to the Port which was equally lovely."

"Soller is a beautiful sea side town with several small local shops and restaurants. Its relaxing to just walk around, take in the beautiful views, enjoy the fresh air. We took the train into town, while the train was very full of people, it was a nice ride into town. Might be less crowded earlier. Great way to spend a day, enjoy a lunch and wander in and out of the shops. (It wasnt loaded with the shirt shops and souvenirs)"
Joan Cupp
"Get the ticket on their official website, consider the combo ticket for train and tram. The train takes you to Sóller, the tram can then be taken to Port de Sóller. If you book early, you can leave Palma early, and split your time properly between Sóller and the port. We had the train at 3pm and return at 7.30pm. Still worked out nicely to enjoy dinner at the port and also spent half an hour in Sóller before returning to Palma. The train and tram ride pass through beautiful landscapes.
Do watch your belongings as it is an activity pickpockets target."
