Malta Airport
Due to Malta's small size, there is only one airport; Malta (Luqa) Airport. With regular flights from around Europe, it’s easily reached and is located in the south of the island, approximately 8km from the capital city of Valletta.
Exploring Malta by hire car
Malta is known for its natural beauty and an abundance of history which has caused it to be described as an open-air museum! With plenty to pack into your trip, a rental car is essential to ensure you enjoy all there is to see on this wonderful island. There are ample opportunities for diving and snorkelling, so you’ll get plenty of chances to hone your skills on a visit here.
A trip to a traditional Maltese village such as Mellieha should also provide plenty to see and do, as it is famed for its gorgeous hilltop location surrounded by valleys and numerous caves. There are also some excellent restaurants to be found so time your visit close to a meal time.
Make the most of the gorgeous coastline, both on the main island (discover more about Malta's best beaches here) and the neighbouring island of Gozo. The Azure Window located on Gozo is one of the most famous tourist attractions and is also close to Dwejra Bay and the Inland Sea so be sure to visit this lovely area if you can.
Take a step back in time with a trip to Mdina, a city simply dripping with impressive architecture and historical anecdotes. There is a huge selection of attractions including the likes of the Cathedral, a natural history museum, galleries, craft shops and more.
