DeutschHow to Get from Palma Cruise Port to Palma Old Town
If you are arriving in Palma by cruise ship and want to explore the historic centre, the first thing you need to know is how to reach the Old Town. The cruise port of Palma is located about 4 km from the city centre, near the Paseo Marítimo. Luckily, reaching Palma Cathedral and the historic centre is quick and easy.
We suggest how to get to the city of Palma. It is considered one of the most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean. Our first recommendation is to join a Free walking tour of Palma to discover the Old Town and the history of the city. Mallorca Free Tour is a local company formed by a group of official and local guides dedicated full time to do walking tours around Mallorca since 2014.
Moreover, the guided tour starts from Monday to Saturday at 11 a.m in Parc de la mar (in front of the tourist office) and with an orange umbrella.
Where Is the Palma Cruise Port Located?
Palma cruise ships dock along the harbour area on the west side of the city. Most cruise terminals are located around 3 to 4 kilometres from Palma’s historic centre, where the Cathedral, Parc de la Mar and the Old Town are located.
Because of this distance, most cruise passengers reach the city centre by taxi, shuttle bus or public transport.
Get to the Mallorca Free Tour by taxi:
The first option is by Taxi: From the cruise departure, you can take a taxi and say to the driver: _tourist office in parc de la mar just in the corner of Antoni Maura avenue. The average price is € 6 in total (approx.) and a maximum of 4 people per car.
Come to the Mallorca Free Tour by Bus:
Besides with the bus company, TIB you can take the number 104 and 107 and the stop is called Catedral. When you get off, you must go to the Cathedral that is right in front and about 50 meters you must cross the street and when you are walking on the grass you turn left and finally, you will see that there is a tourist office. So just there is Mallorca Free Tour with the orange umbrella.
Furthermore with the urban bus company EMT you can take the number 1. The stop is called La Feixina. When you get off, you must go down towards the sea. Then you cross the entire park that is on your left and then you continue walking towards the cathedral, the wall should be on your left and the sea on your right. After 500 meters (or 8 minutes walking)you will arrive at the tourist office in Parc de la Mar. So just in front, we will be waiting for you with the orange umbrella.

This is often the easiest option for cruise passengers who prefer a direct transfer without needing to use public transport.
