The main entrance for the majority of visitors to Majorca is via the international  airport Son Sant Joan, 8 km. from Palma city. Every year, around 20 million passengers travel through this airport, a principal airport due to the amount of traffic, especially international. The airport is also furnished with good  transport connections to the other islands in the Balearics archipelago (Minorca and Ibiza) and the main cities of Europe.

 By sea, more than 800.000 passengers arrive annually in Majorca. The two most important ports are those of Palma and Alcúdia. Both are connection points to the Spanish peninsula (Barcelona, 8 hours and Dènia/València 8 and a half hours), the islands of Minorca (6 hours) and Ibiza (4 hours) are also linked by  sea connections.

The  Inca train links the municipality with Palma. After arrival in Inca the traveller can connect by bus to the Monastery of Lluc, another of the most characteristic places in the island, or continue with the  railway until Sa Pobla.

If one prefers to travel around the island  by car, Majorca has a road network spanning more than 1,100 km. The biggest developments are the three main axes that exit Palma: the Llevant motorway, the Ponent motorway and the central motorway, which goes to Inca.
