How to get there?
Flying to Mallorca from all major European cities – London, Paris, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Berlin, or Munich – is usually affordable and easy.

Renting a car is a good idea
Getting a rented car in Mallorca will give you the freedom to explore the island to its fullest and save you time and trouble.
