TransportThe extensive bus system connects to all points on the island but can be infrequent. The train system is quite limited with just one line. To see Palma — walk — as it is a compact town. It also has hop-on hop-off buses to the popular sights. Taxis to travel within towns and rental cars to travel the countryside are other options.
Best time to travelHigh season is from April to September, the warmest months. Autumn’s daytime temperatures are still warm and can be a cheaper and better alternative to the crowds and heat of the high season. Winter and spring brings cooler temperatures and may therefore can rule out swimming in the sea. Many of the restaurants and bars are closed too as they operate only during summer.
What to wearDress modestly when visiting churches. Swimwear is frowned upon outside of beaches and resorts. Smart casual is the way to go; the locals take pride in their dress sense.
