How to Get There
By Airplane

By Ferry
Ferries connect Malta to Sicily (Catania and Pozzallo) via Virtu Ferries, a high-speed ferry service. These routes are convenient if you are combining Malta with Italy.
How to Get Around
Buses
Malta Public Transport operates an efficient bus network covering major towns, villages, and attractions on Malta and Gozo. Buses are affordable and run frequently, making them a popular choice.
Ferries
Regular ferries connect Malta to Gozo and Comino. The Gozo Fast Ferry and traditional ferries operate daily, with short travel times and scenic views.
