For taxi and transfer services from Malta Airport, you can book with local companies like Malta Taxi Service or Get Cab, or use ride-sharing apps such as Bolt and Uber. Other reputable firms include E and G Cab and CallCabs Malta. It is often recommended to book in advance and compare prices before you travel.
Ride-sharing services such as Bolt and Uber are also widely used across Malta and are often the easiest way to travel between St Julians, Valletta, and other parts of the island during your stay.
Malta uses the same electrical plug type as the United Kingdom, with three rectangular pins (Type G) and a standard voltage of 230V.
If you are travelling from the UK or Ireland you will not need a plug adapter. Visitors from most other countries, including the United States, Europe, and Asia, may need a Type G travel adapter in order to use their devices.
Adapters are widely available at Malta International Airport, local supermarkets, and electronics shops if you need to purchase one during your stay.
Yes. English is one of Malta’s official languages alongside Maltese, and it is widely spoken across the islands.
Most visitors will find that English is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, taxis, shops, and business settings, so communication is usually straightforward during your stay.
Malta uses Central European Time (CET), which is 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
During the summer period Malta observes daylight saving time, so local time may be listed as Central European Summer Time (CEST).
It is a good idea to check the local time when arranging flights, meetings, and transport during your stay.
