Rules in force · 6Many side streets in Valletta are stepped and cobbled
- Malta ↗Malta is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
- Malta ↗Traffic drives on the left; if you hire a car, expect narrow roads, heavy traffic and limited parking in the towns.
- Malta ↗Sockets are the UK three-pin type (Type G); bring the right adapter.
- Valletta and the Grand Harbour ↗Harbour ferries run on their own timetable and stop in rough weather: check the day's service before you rely on one.
- Valletta ↗Many side streets in Valletta are stepped and cobbled: large suitcases go from the taxi to the door, never along the street.
- Valletta ↗Traffic drives on the left: look right first when you cross.
