Malta Travel Information

Planning

With my lazy traveling style, at least 10 days are requried to cover most of the major tourist sites. For example, 

  • 1. Valetta
  • 2. Sliema & St. Julian's
  • 3. Marsaxlokk (Sunday fish market & St. Peter's Pool)
  • 4~5. Gozo
  • 6. Comino (Blue Lagoon)
  • 7. Mdina
  • 8. Popeye village & around
  • 9. St. Paul's Bay
  • 10. other areas

Accommodation

  • ✔ in the order of recommendation
  • Sliema
    • ➕ 15m bus to Valletta. many restaurants and other facilities
  • Gzira
    • ➕ closer to Valletta than Sliema 
    • ➖ buses come packed from Sliema
  • Valletta
    • ➕ main tourist area. all buses to other areas depart from here. 
    • ➖ expensive and noisy
  • Gozo
    • recommed to stay at least one night to cover the whole area


    Public Transportation

    • ✔ We used our Explore Flex Gozo Standard Card 2~4 times everyday, but didn't need the ferry option because of seasickness. So, Explore Card seems to be the most cost-effective choice if you stay more than 4 days. 
    • Bus Cards
      • Explore Flex : €34
        • Gozo Standard
          • 6 days of unlimited travel on all bus routes
          • a return trip to Gozo from Valletta with the fast ferry

    purchasing Explore card at the airport


    The kiosk is located in the center of the arrival hall right before you leave it. The interface is quite straightforward.


    taking cab from the airport


    Follow taxi signs and queue to buy a ticket.The price is pre-defined depending on the destination and pre-paid.

    using Bolt


    I couldn't my card information to payment method of the Bolt mobile app in Korea, but it has worked after I arrived. Probably there're some regional restrictions.
