Malta Airport Taxi

Book a taxi to and from Malta airport

Lying in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta is inhabited by about 460.000 people, concentrated mainly in the capital Valletta, where it is possible to do everything from boat trips to the lively nightlife and family fun. The best way to reach your destination on this beautiful and fascinating island is to use a taxi service from Malta airport.

The Republic of Malta is an archipelago of three islands, but only the two main islands are inhabited: Malta and Gozo. Both islands are very popular with tourists all year round, thanks to a mild climate and to 3000 hours of sunshine a year, and not to mention the cultural heritage thanks to its 7000 years of history. In addition, the island is the ideal place to learn English (spoken alongside with Maltese), without having to go to English and American colleges.

What to see in Malta

Thanks to the immense cultural heritage, a holiday in this archipelago is not only for fun and the beaches, but it also has very interesting museums, palaces, and churches. Shopping is good with large centres being Valletta, St. Julian's, and Mosta.

Among the many attractions we recommend are the following:

• St. James Centre for Creativity: a fortification in which contemporary artworks are exhibited.
• The Grandmaster’s Palace: built in the 16th century and currently the seat of the Maltese Parliament.
• Mdina: ancient capital of the island, with an historic centre that dates back over 4000 years.

Malta airport

The only international airport of the Maltese archipelago is located in the city of Luqa and is only 8 kilometers from the capital Valletta. It is normally called Luqa airport. This airport has as its flagship airlines Ryanair and Air Malta and serves routes in Europe and Asia.

Among the various services that can be found there are the lost property office, various shops, and counters for currency exchange and cash withdrawal.

The connections between the airport and the centre of the capital Valletta are guaranteed only by buses marked with the letter X followed by a number, which depart right from the stop in front of the departure area.

Malta also has a major port, called Porto Grande which in the past was a strategic base for the British Empire. Since 1979, when the British Armed Forces left the island, the port has lost its previous importance.

Malta Transports

Moving on your own in Malta is not easy or cheap. Since there are no trains, no subways, and no trams, the only way to get around the island is by bus. All cities are connected by buses to the central station in Valletta and these operate from 5:30 am to 11:00 pm. The company managing the bus network is Malta Public Transport.

There is also the option to travel from Sliema to the capital by ferry, with ticket prices similar to the bus fare.

An alternative way of touring Malta and Gozo is the double decker bus, which in one day shows you how beautiful this island is.

The Maltese public taxis are all white and can be found at the appropriate locations around the island, such as Sliema, Bugibba, Paceville etc.

However, Malta's public taxi system don’t have a very good reputation. Drivers hustling for trade can be pushy and abusive, particularly those who lurk outside the airport to meet new arrivals. They often have a harassing attitude, to say the least.

The problem is that illegal taxis ask customers the same price required by taxis in possession of a commercial license. In addition, many of the taxis are in a bad state of repair and aren’t very clean.
