Has anyone taken this bus around Palma de Mallorca? How close does it stop to the port? Is the port close to the city center?

Our cruise line ran a shuttle service from where we were docked to the city centre (just in front of the Cathedral). We got the HoHo bus from there. the commentary is not very great in fact pretty sparse. However it was probably worth it to get up to the castle as it had fantastic views from up there. It stops running at about 5.30 so if you are in port later like we were it doesn't give you a lot of time. However we were there at the end of April so it may operate later in high season.

 

If we hadnt used the shuttle bus, I think we could have walked to the drop off point in about 20-25 minutes (but it depends where you dock)

The Hoho bus stops at the end of the ship's pier, which is it's place of origin, I agree with the previous poster about the qualiity of the commentary but it is a good way ti get around the city and see the sites.

I was looking at the stops for the HOHO in Palma. Are any of these near the Cathedral or Illetes Beach?
