Malta transports

While Malta is small, public transportation can sometimes be challenging for travellers. Especially if you’re unfamiliar with the local routes. Here’s an overview of Malta’s public transport options:

1. Buses: Malta’s bus network covers most parts of the island, making it a convenient option for getting around. However, buses can be crowded, especially during peak hours and tourist seasons, and may not run as frequently as expected. Additionally, buses often take longer routes, which means longer travel times.
2. Ferries: Ferries are available for travel between Malta and its neighbouring islands, Gozo and Comino. The ferry to Gozo departs from the Cirkewwa terminal, which is located at the northern tip of Malta.
3. Taxis: Public taxis are available at Malta International Airport. However, availability can vary depending on the time of day and demand. Public taxis operate on a meter, so fares can fluctuate based on traffic and distance. To avoid uncertainty and long waits, we recommend booking a private taxi in advance.
