Palma Chases Wealthy US Tourists — The Key Question: Who Should the City Actually Serve?

Answer

Do I need a car in Mallorca, or are public transport options enough?

You can get around Mallorca with public transport and short connections to many spots, though a car expands options for coastal drives and hillside towns. If you stay in Palma or other towns with good transit, you might manage without a car, but plan in advance. Consider your itinerary and comfort with driving in rural roads.
