How to move around Malta & Gozo?
Public buses are the cheapest way to move around, is not difficult to use them but you will need to plan a long time ahead as timetables are not accurate and you might find yourself waiting for over an hour sometimes. To check routes and times you can visit the TALLINJA website.
**tip: have always the exact money amount as some drivers don't give change back. With the ticket (1-time payment you can use more buses within 2 hours)
Bolt and Cool Malta apps work very well for private and shared car rides.
Rental cars are cheap and we can provide with good and trustable sources.
