Transport options on arriving at Malta airport

Public Transport Buses

Upon exiting the arrival terminal but still within the premises, you can buy optional Tallinja cards from the office directly or you can buy the bus tickets directly from the bus. This card is similar to the London's Oyster card or Hong Kong's Octopus card.

Airport transfers

It will be great if you wish to think beforehand to book a pre-arranged transfer that can pick you up from outside the arrivals terminal and take you to your accommodation without thinking about it at all and start your relaxing holiday on boarding your flight.   

taxi

If you have substantial luggage which you have to carry on the bus, better take a taxi. In the same area you find a boot with fixed fairs to all the locations in Malta and Gozo. This might be a better option for you. You can also pre book your taxi not to worry about it while you are arriving.

car rental

Car rental is another way of going round our islands, but needs planning. In our opinion, it is not right to book a car as soon as you land as it might be overwhelming. Oncel it happened to us and next time we did it from the comfort of our hole having ample time to think of the various options for our destination.
