Answer
Do I need a car to explore Mallorca, or can I rely on public transport?
Public transport connects Palma and many coastal towns, but a car gives flexibility to reach rural spots and hidden coves. If you stay in central areas or along the southwest coast, trains and buses cover a lot. Many visitors rent a car for part of their trip to explore at their own pace.
