Metro de Palma
Palma’s Metro network is the smallest in Spain. Although it offers limited opportunities for getting around Palma city, it is a good option for reaching Palma’s northern districts. The Metro is operated by Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) and first opened on 25th April 2007.
Metro link to Palma Airport
The Metro line does not currently go to the airport and there is no Metro connection from Palma Airport to Palma city. To get to the Metro station from the airport, you will need to take a bus or a taxi.
Palma Metro station
The closest metro station to Palma Airport is the Intermodal Station at Placa d’Espanya in Palma city. This is Palma’s main station – trains, buses and coaches also depart from here.
When at Placa d’Espanya, you will need to go down the set of stairs at Palma Intermodal Station. This is an underground station and the start of the Metro.
Getting from Palma Airport to Palma Metro station
The EMT airport bus A1 goes directly from Palma Airport to the train station at Plaça d’Espanya. The bus journey will take around half an hour and costs € 5 for a single ticket. A taxi journey from Palma Airport to the train station will take around 15 minutes.

The M2 runs every 20 minutes during the day from Monday to Friday with a journey time of 14 minutes. As the M2 follows the rail line, it is also possible to take one of the following trains: T1 to Inca, T2 to Sa Pobla, or T3 to Manacor, which run between the hours of 5.46 am and 10.20 pm. While some of the trains stop at all the Metro stations, some others run straight through to Marratxí. Passengers wishing to disembark at any other Metro station will therefore need to double-check prior to boarding the train. Trains that do not stop are marked “sense aturades / sin paradas” on the timetable.
The M2 does not run on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. However, on those days, passengers can use the trains, all of which stop at every Metro station between Intermodal Station and Marratxí.
