From Palma to Pollensa -- How to Get There
Getting from Palma airport to Pollensa is fairly easy with a number of transport options. The cheapest option is to catch the bus into the centre of Palma and then pick up the coastal bus from Plaza Espana which travels to Pollensa as well as some other towns along the way.
If you're looking for something more convenient, you can grab a taxi from outside the terminals. Journey times vary depending on traffic, and prices depend on your final destination, although they are usually very reasonable.
Finally, you can hire a car from the airport, which gives you the chance to explore some of Mallorca's spectacular scenery along the way and dip in and out of small towns and villages as you go. It's handy having a car throughout your trip, too, as it means you don't have to rely on public transport if you want to venture outside Pollensa and explore the surrounding scenery.
