How to travel à la Valette
How to go alone
It all depends on the season, but generally speaking, from Europe, air tickets to Valletta are quite cheap, especially if you choose a low-cost airline. If you are planning to go to Malta next summer, you will find very affordable tickets or even discounted tickets if you plan ahead. Anticipation also means savings in terms of accommodation.
How to go on a tour
Valletta is perfect for those who want to relax: beaches and coves bordered by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, sunshine and mild temperatures almost all year round, and low-cost airfare. Thus, half-board or full-board stays are offered by many specialists. Valletta is also a very popular destination for language stays for children, teenagers or adults, accommodated in university residences, in apartments (shared flats) or in total immersion with a teacher or a family. Many specialists offer stays to prepare for English exams and to perfect the language, as the setting is so pleasant to combine vacations, entertainment and language learning.
How to get around
To get around the old center of Valletta, nothing beats walking. However, if you wish to use transportation (bus, car or scooter rental) to reach the outlying parts of the city or even the island, be aware that traffic is very dense and should not be underestimated: traffic jams can last forever around Valletta when leaving the office (around 2pm...). On the whole, cab fares are rather cheap, thanks to the low price of gasoline.
