Transport
By Air - All flights arrive at Malta
International Airport. The Maltese
Islands are only a few hours away
from major European cities by air.
The national airline, Air Malta,
operates flights to and from many of
the major airports in Europe, North
Africa and the Middle East. Other
international airlines and low-cost
carriers operate regular scheduled
flights to and from Malta.
By Sea - A regular ferry and
catamaran service links several
Italian ports to Valletta. A number
of shipping lines serve some
Mediterranean ports as well.
Buses - Malta’s bus service is
operated by Malta Public Transport.
The service runs daily between
approximately 5.30am and 11pm,
while night buses operate in some
areas after this time. 80 routes
travel to various hubs. Visitors can
apply for a personalised ‘tallinja’ bus
card online, giving them access to
reduced bus fares. The card needs
to be booked at least two weeks
in advance and needs a Maltese
address to be sent to. The Explore
7 day Card offers unlimited travel by
bus throughout Malta and Gozo, on
all day and all night services. It can
be used immediately upon purchase
and is valid for seven consecutive
days from the first validation. The
Explore card costs euros for adults
and euros for children. These cards
can be purchased from ticket booths
or from other leading outlets. You
can plan your journey online on
www.publictransport.com.mt
By Taxi - A number of taxi companies
offer 24 hour services and are fitted
with meters. Any complaints can
