Guide to Exploring Malta

Your Gateway to Malta’s Attractions

Discovering Malta is simple and convenient from The Snop House, with a range of transportation options including buses, ferries, taxis, and car rentals. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the archipelago and make the most of your visit.

Local Bus Services in Malta

The nearest bus stop, Redentur, is just 30 meters from The Snop House. Here
are some key bus routes to get you started:

• Route 1: Connects you to Valletta, Malta’s vibrant capital, a hub of historic sites and cultural landmarks.
• Route 213: Takes you to Mater Dei, close to the Hypogeum of Paola (get off at Paola 3), an essential archaeological site.
• Route 124: Ideal for beach lovers, this bus will take you to Zonqor or St Thomas Bay in Marsaskala.

For destinations outside these areas, it’s best to travel to Valletta, where you can catch buses to various parts of Malta. Route 1 will get you there in about 45 minutes, but for a more scenic route, consider taking the ferry instead.
Bus tickets can be purchased directly from the driver (available in cash or card) or you can opt for an Explore Card for frequent travel.

Ferry Services in Malta

Experience Malta’s stunning coastline with the Valletta Ferry Service. The ferry terminal is just a 10-minute walk from The Snop House. To get there, head to the Sea Front, turn right, cross the bridge, and then take a left.
Ferries run every 30 minutes, with a quick 10-minute crossing to Valletta. Keep your ticket, as it grants free access to the Barakka lift. Tickets are available for purchase on the boat.
Upon arrival in Valletta, you’ll find the Gozo Fast Ferry just 20 meters from the terminal. This ferry will take you to Gozo in 45 minutes. We recommend booking your tickets in advance to secure your spot.

Car Rentals for Adventurous Explorers in Malta

If you prefer driving, renting a car is a great option. Remember that driving is on the left side of the road in Malta, and you might encounter traffic and parking challenges. However, parking in Senglea is generally straightforward, with many spaces available near the hotel without additional fees.
