✈️ Getting there

MLAMalta International Airport
📍 8 km⏱ 20 min🚌 Bus🚕 Taxi🚌 Private transfer

Bus X4 runs directly from the airport to Valletta's main bus terminus for €2 (€3 July–August) and takes around 25 minutes — buy your ticket from the driver; the taxi rank outside arrivals charges a fixed rate of €15–20 to Valletta.

A compact, modern airport 8km from Valletta that handles year-round traffic as well as heavy summer volume — Air Malta, Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air are the main operators; the single terminal is efficient and rarely overwhelming outside peak season.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Valletta — beyond the tourist trail.

🏰Visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta at exactly noon for the cannon salute from the Saluting Battery below — free to watch from the gardens, and the view over the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities simultaneously is the defining Maltese image.
⛪Book ahead for the St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta — the plain exterior hides one of Europe's most astonishing Baroque interiors, including Caravaggio's largest surviving painting. Buy tickets online to avoid the queue; arrive at opening time (9am) before tour groups.
🌊Take the ferry from Cirkewwa to Gozo (25 minutes, €4.65 return) and hire a bike or a jeep to find the Blue Hole at Dwejra on the west coast — a natural rock chimney diving spot with extraordinary visibility; snorkelling is free and the water colour is genuinely unreal.
🍽️Eat ftira — the Maltese bread ring stuffed with tuna, capers, olives, and tomatoes — from one of the early-morning bakeries in the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea) rather than the tourist cafes in Valletta; it costs €2–3 and is eaten standing at the counter like locals do.
🌙Visit Mdina at night — the silent city earns its nickname after the tourist coaches leave at 5pm. The narrow medieval streets lit by lanterns, with views down to Valletta's lights in the distance, are genuinely magical and completely free to walk through.
