Travelling Around

The bus service, run by the Passenger Transport Association (ATP), is the cheapest and safest way to travel around Malta. Buses run every day of the year except for 3 hours on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day between 12.00 hrs and 15.00 hrs.

Bus prices are very low and fares range between €0.47 and €1.16 depending on your journey. Direct routes from Sliema to Valletta: 62, 64, 66, 67 & 68 (€0.47).

You can check times on the internet or enquire at the Leisure Desk for a full bus timetable.
