On arrival at Luqa Airport Malta, you have four main options to reach your desired destination:
​
1. Take a taxi
With flights from Ireland arriving into Malta late at night, a taxi is your best option.
Walk up to the taxi booth located in the arrivals hall, pay for your taxi and voilà!
​
A taxi from the airport to Sliema costs €20, St. Julian's €20 and Valletta €15.
​
2. Hop on a local bus
The last bus leaves the airport for Sliema and St. Julians (San Giljan) at 23:00.

​
3. Pre-arranged airport pick up
Pre-book your airport pickup at http://www.maltatransfer.com
The Malta Transfer booth is located in the baggage hall.
​
4. Rent a car
Personally we wouldn't recommend this option in Malta.
Maltese drivers are erratic and parking is limited, in urban areas on the island.

Local Bus Services
The local bus service in Malta is efficient and easy to navigate. The 'tallinja' app is well worth a download, to plan your journey and checkbus times.
​
