Hop-on Hop-off Mallorca Bus Tours

Hop-on Hop-off bus tours: How do they work?

Mallorca, a Mediterranean paradise with its vibrant scenery and old-world charm, is a sight for sore eyes. Visitors come in droves to explore the island and its popular attractions like Plaça del Mercat, Castell de Bellver, Poble Espanyol, and more. One of the best ways to discover all that Mallorca has to offer is to take a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour of the city.

With a Hop-on Hop-off pass, you can get on and off at any stops along a designated route. The route takes you to major attractions in the city, which you can explore at your own pace. Once you’re ready to go to your next destination, you simply have to hop back on the bus and let it take you there.

Hop-on Hop-off pass duration: Which one should you get?

Depending on your budget, schedule, and travel time, you can get Hop-on Hop-off passes for 24 & 48 hours. Wondering which one is best for you? Here’s everything you need to know:

24-hour pass: The 24-hour pass is ideal for people who are short on travel time but would still like to see the top sights in Mallorca, like the Palma Cathedral, Castell de Bellver, and Passeig Marítim. First-time visitors might also find it helpful to get this pass. You won’t have to deal with the hassle of navigating Mallorca’s public transportation network and can easily move from one spot on your bucket list to another. City Sightseeing offers 24-hour passes starting from €25. The essential variant additionally provides access to 1 attraction, free drinks, and discounts at just €28.

48-hour pass: If you’re someone who prefers taking your time to explore popular attractions, look for hidden gems, and discover local cuisines and shops, get a 48-hour pass. The City Sightseeing 48-hour pass costs €46, including add-on entry tickets to 6 attractions, a free self-guided audio tour, exclusive discounts and a 60-minute boat tour.

Visitor tips for the Hop-on Hop-off Mallorca tour

We recommend starting your trip with a full loop of your route. This way, you get a sense of what to expect from the city: the crowds, the weather, and the traffic. You might even spot off-beat spots like restaurants, bars, or stores you’d like to visit.

Most tourist attractions have long ticketing queues. Save yourself time by purchasing your entry tickets online.

Pack light for your journey. Carry only your phone, wallet, keys, water, and sunscreen. Bulky luggage will not only take up more space on the bus, but will also exhaust you faster.

To avoid traffic congestions, plan your visits around Mallorca’s rush hour, which is between 7:30am to 9:30 am and 4:30pm to 7:30pm.

Wear lightweight clothes, sunglasses, and your best walking shoes for your day out. If you’re traveling in winter, wear scarves and sweaters, especially when exploring outdoors.

You can also get a combo ticket, so in addition to not dealing with the hassle of public transport, you also get entry to popular sites. Purchase skip-the-line tickets to the Palma Cathedral along with your Hop-on Hop-off pass.

Buying tickets was an easy process. Standing in the queue, I looked for tickets then downloaded the app as suggested. Then the pretty quickly the team arrived to check off our tickets and handed us a map and a set of earphones each. Within a few minutes of queuing we were on the bus. Thank you to all for the very quick process (even though it looked busy with a potential long wait).

We did the Hop on Hop off busses in Palma De Mallorca as well as Barcelona! The absolute best way to get around and familiarize yourself with a city. Buses came by very frequently and the audio information that gives you highlights along the way was spectacular. This tour option is a must, the highlight of our trip.
