How much does the train from Palma to Soller cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Palma to Soller?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

The figure we send covers the ticket, any compulsory seat reservation and our booking service; what you see by WhatsApp is what you pay. If a cheaper departure exists thirty minutes earlier or later, we tell you, because a Palma to Soller train ticket that costs less at a slightly different time is generally worth it.

Cheapest train ticket from Palma to Soller: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the train from Palma to Soller is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:

• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are typically the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare

When you fill out the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Palma to Soller train ticket first, then the alternatives.

How to book train tickets from Palma to Soller with Haqqi Tours

Booking a train from Palma to Soller with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the booking form on this page with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are travelling and the class you prefer. Our team then messages you through WhatsApp to check your booking: we finalise the departures available on that day, the seats and the cost. You choose, we book, and the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat, ready to show on your phone or print.

• Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the available departures, the seats and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Soller

Because a person books the ticket, not a machine, we can do the things a booking site cannot: hold seats together for a family, pick the coach nearest the luggage racks, choose a quiet carriage, or line up the Palma to Soller train with a transfer from your accommodation to Palma, Plaça d'Espanya (Sóller railway terminus) and another from Sóller to your hotel in Soller.

Timetable of the Palma to Soller train

4-7 a day depending on season - that is how often the train from Palma to Soller runs with Ferrocarril de Sóller (historic train).

Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Soller, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at Sóller in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Soller; a late one lands you after dinner.
