What makes Port de Sóller special as a destination?

Port de Sóller is the only natural harbor bay on the spectacular northwest coast of Mallorca and serves as the maritime gateway to the Serra de Tramuntana, the UNESCO-protected mountain range of the island. The horseshoe-shaped bay, framed by mountains up to 1,000 meters high, offers a unique panorama that is unparalleled. German tourists love the combination of relaxed beach life at the local beach, nostalgic rides on the historic tram to Sóller, and challenging hikes in the Tramuntana mountains. The lively promenade with its fish restaurants, the charming streets of the small harbor town, and the daily arrival of the historic wooden train from Palma de Mallorca give Port de Sóller a special charm that is far removed from mass tourism.
