Ferrocarril de Sóller : info and guided tour

Overview of Ferrocarril de Sóller

Ferrocarril de Sóller refers to the Palma railway station and depot where the famous train departs, linking the Mallorcan capital with Sóller. Located on carrer d’Eusebi Estada, in the north of the city, the site is part of Palma’s urban landscape and recalls the historical importance of rail transport in the Sóller valley.

The place is best known for its tourist train, one of Mallorca’s most iconic experiences. The narrow-gauge line attracts visitors with its vintage rolling stock and the atmosphere of a preserved railway journey. In Palma, the depot and technical facilities extend this heritage identity.

Architecturally, Ferrocarril de Sóller is distinguished less by a monumental building than by its functional role and authentic railway character. Visitors can observe the platforms, service tracks and operational buildings, which show a site that is still alive, between daily activity and industrial memory.

Its fame comes from the experience it offers, a departure in the heart of Palma for a journey that has become an attraction in its own right. For travelers, the appeal lies as much in discovering the train as in the site’s signature features, such as the atmosphere of a historic station and the layout of the depot.
