Public Transport
The main form of public transport in Malta is the bus. Malta Public Transportation Services operate a network of routes across the island. They are inexpensive and reliable, however, they can often be slow due to traffic congestion.
Taxis and Car Hire
Taxis are available throughout Malta and can be hailed on the street or booked in advance. They are metered, but it's advisable to negotiate a fare before departing. Car hire is also an option if you'd prefer to drive yourself around.
Ferries
Ferries operate between Malta and Gozo, and they also connect to some of the smaller islands. The service is reliable and offers stunning views of the coast. You can take your car on the ferry for an additional fee.
Driving
If you're planning on driving in Malta, be aware that the driving is on the left-hand side of the road. The roads can be quite busy and parking is limited in the urban areas.
Cycling
Malta is small enough to explore by bike, but the hilly terrain and busy roads can make this a challenging option. Bike rentals are available throughout the island.
Tickets
For public transport, tickets can be purchased from the driver on the bus. You can also get a pre-paid card called the Tallinja card which can be used on buses and ferries.
Airport Transfers
Malta International Airport is well connected by public transport, taxis, and shuttle services. Some hotels also offer airport pick-up services.
Accessibility
Malta’s public transport has measures in place to assist passengers with mobility issues, but it's best to check with the transport provider before you travel. Remember to respect local laws and customs when using public transport in Malta.
