    Malta-Luqa Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the international airport of Malta, about 8 kms. south of Valletta.

    - Fax: (+356) 2124 9563

    * How to get there:
    - By bus: The problem is that almost all of the times, if you don't have your accommodation in Valletta, you have to go there anyway, then, another bus to your final destination. The bus that links Valletta and the airport is number 8.

    - Taxi: There are fixed rates (it depends on the destination), so, you know how much you will pay no matter the traffic jams.

    Car Rental
  • Tip Rating:
  • Malta is a small island and many destinations can be reachable by bus, however, sometimes it takes long due to you have to go to Valletta to get the bus to other place. So, from my point of view, it's better to rent a car (I did), it's not expensive. There are many companies and websites where you can find many offers.

    I found this company, Active Car Rental Malta, and rented the car through them. They deliver the car to your accommodation with no extra charge (at least now).

    For other possibilities, check the other website you'll find down below.

    Pic: As you can guess, this is the car I rented.

    Public Buses
  • Tip Rating:
  • The public buses are very old though they are slowly modernizing the fleet. Since the taxis are so expensive, it is best to use buses in Malta and they basically go everywhere.

    Taxiing Your Way Around
  • Tip Rating:
  • Taxis in Malta are expensive. The best way to get a taxi is from your hotel because most hotels use a specific taxi company and have set fares that can sometimes be billed directly to your room.

    The ferry to Gozo
  • Tip Rating:
  • In order to reach the smaller island of Gozo you need to get at first by bus to the port of Cirkewwa (on the weat coast of Malta). Usually the bus arrives at the port just in time before the ferry departs. The ferries cross on a regular basis between the port of Mgarr on Gozo and Cirkewwa on Malta. This service is used for goods, tourism and transfer for locals as many of themwork or study in Malta. Due to its frequent use residents of Gozo are able to use the ferry at a lower fare.
    The ferry carries passengers, cars and tracks and despite the crossing lasts no more than 20 minutes, the ferry facilities are great (apart from them being kept in clean condition)
    There are scheduled departures (less in winter) but in case of high traffic they run more frequently.

    Bus around the Island
  • Tip Rating:
  • The old beautiful Bedford buses are the best way to get around, they are frequent and go all over the Island. The fares are cheap enough for you to jump on and off (wait until the bus has stopped first), remember to keep your ticket. The ticket inspector jumps on and off, I can't tell you what will happens as I was never cought without one.
