At just 316 square kilometres, Malta is wonderfully compact. With efficient roads and transport services, most bus journeys take under 30 minutes. And if you’re planning a trip to sister island Gozo, the ferry from Ċirkewwa to Mġarr takes only 20 minutes. No matter where you’re headed, nothing is ever too far away.

Explore by Bus

Affordable, comfortable, and reliable, buses are a great way to travel around Malta and Gozo. With the handy Tallinja App, you can plan routes, check schedules, and make the most of your time exploring. For more information, visit the Malta Public Transport website

Book a Shuttle Bus

Shuttle buses are perfect for group travel, airport transfers, or event trips. They’re budget-friendly, easy to book, and often include free WiFi. Solo travellers can use them too, making them a flexible private transport option.

Rent a Car

Want more independence? Car rentals are widely available both online and at the airport. Remember: driving is on the left in Malta, and rental age limits are typically 21–70. Compare prices, models, and agencies to find the best deal — and always choose a reputable company.

Take a Taxi

Taxis are convenient and easy to find at the airport, bus terminus, and major hotels. Many companies also offer online booking through dedicated apps, including the Malta Taxi App.

Hop on a Ferry to Gozo

No trip is complete without visiting Gozo. Ferries run regularly from Ċirkewwa to Mġarr, carrying both cars and foot passengers. From Valletta, the Gozo Fast Ferry offers a quick and scenic link directly to Gozo’s harbour.

Water Taxis

For a more scenic ride, water taxis run between Sliema and Valletta every 15 minutes, and between Senglea and Valletta every 30 minutes. It’s a relaxed way to enjoy stunning harbour views while getting from A to B.

Boats to Comino

Fancy exploring Comino and the Blue Lagoon? Regular boat services operate between Malta, Gozo, and Comino, making day trips easy and flexible.

Explore on Foot

Sometimes the best way to experience Malta is on foot. Wander the cobbled streets of Valletta and Mdina, or set off on a cliffside or countryside walk. Discover more routes on Hikes and Walks.

Whether you choose to ride, drive, sail, or stroll, getting around Malta is simple, affordable, and filled with scenic moments along the way.
