Flight to Malta

Malta is a small island of only 300 square kilometres, making it the smallest country and the highest population density in the European Union. Malta was successively under Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Fatimid, Sicilian, Knights of Saint John, French and English. The island gained its independence in 1964.

Malta International Airport (MLA Airport Code) is the only airport on the island located in the capital, Valletta. Air Malta, Ryanair and BMI are the airlines with the most flights.

Flight to Malta

The island’s only public transport is provided by a private bus network that has its own drivers. These old and brightly painted buses are a real attraction in themselves for less than a euro the ride.

Malta is certainly a small country, but its rich past allows it to offer a whole range of different architectural styles and remarkable works of art such as La Decapitation de Saint-Jean and Saint-Jérôme in front of its Caravaggio writing, on display in the Cathedral of Saint John.

When you’re in Malta, take a boat tour of the island, a highly recommended excursion. These guided tours provide a comprehensive overview of the island and offer superb views of its fortifications.

Maltese cuisine is unique and based on fresh produce. Favorite local specialties are rabbit and pastizzis, a pastry filled with white cheese.
