Valletta Airport to Valletta: what to expect
Valletta is 8 km from Malta International, about 15 minutes. The capital is a fortified peninsula built on a grid of steep streets, much of it pedestrianised or restricted to residents, so how close a car can get depends on which street your hotel is on.
Drivers know which gates are open to traffic — City Gate, the Marsamxett side and the lower Barrakka approaches — and where the drop-off bays sit for boutique hotels inside the walls. The Valletta Waterfront cruise terminal is a separate stop a few minutes below the city.
Because the drive is short, most of the value here is arriving at the right entrance rather than the bottom of a flight of steps with suitcases.
