Town centre

Soller's main square, Plaça de la Constitució, is the heart of the town. It is lined with bars, cafés and restaurants and has a fountain and plane trees in its centre, and children come to play here in the evenings. The striking Church of Sant Bartolomeu, originally from the 13th century, dominates the square. Its Modernist facade was added in 1904 by the architect Joan Rubid, an ex-pupil of Gaudi who also designed the Banco Central Hispano next door. The town hall is also here, as is the Saturday market.

Other notable buildings include La Posada de Ca´n Prohom, La Posada de Montcaire, Ca'n Nou, the manor houses on the Gran Via and the traditional townhouses on Calle Isabel II.

Museums

The Natural Science Museum is dedicated to the botany, geology and zoology of Mallorca. It has a huge collection of fossils from the Balearics and Europe, and displays on naturalists who have visited or worked on the Balearic Islands. Its famous Botanic Garden has plants from the Balearics and other Mediterranean islands, including many endangered species.

A former 18th-century manor house, the Museu del Casal de Cultura is filled with antiques and archaeological finds from Soller, including furniture, farm implements, works of art and household objects.

The Can Prunera art gallery's collection of Modernist art includes works by Picasso, Miró, Matisse, Basquiat, Toulouse-Lautrec and Cezanne. The building is itself a striking example of Modernist architecture, and there's also a sculpture garden and a display of early 20th-century dolls.

Outdoor activities

If you want to explore the countryside around Soller, there are many lovely walks and challenging cycle routes along the coast or into the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. The routes are usually well-maintained and well-signposted, or you can arrange walking, cycling or mountain biking trips through an organisation.

The town is connected to Port de Soller by a vintage tram, and you can take a boat trip, go diving, hire a canoe or just relax on the sandy beach. It's also worth visiting the pretty village of Fornalutx.

Eating and drinking

At the Sa Tafona restaurant at the Cal Bisbe hotel, a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence winner, you can enjoy a Mallorcan and Mediterranean tasting menu of several courses. The wooden-beamed dining room is a former olive pressing room and the old press is still there – or sit on the terrace and enjoy views of the gardens and mountains. Head to Café Scholl, another Certificate of Excellence winner, for a vegetarian menu, cakes and Art Deco furniture, or the Salvia Restaurant for traditional Mallorcan, Spanish and Mediterranean dishes. If you're in Port de Soller, the Don Pedro Café Bistro is popular for its tapas and burgers.
