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.
