Malta travel guide: top destinations and driving tips

Malta offers a variety of tourist experiences, ranging from the historic UNESCO World Heritage capital of Valletta to the medieval charm of Mdina and the natural landscapes of Gozo and the Blue Lagoon.

For travelers utilizing rental cars to visit locations such as the Dingli Cliffs or Marsaxlokk, navigating parking regulations is essential. In Valletta, parking is managed through a color-coded system: white bays are generally for the public, green bays are for residents, and blue bays are available to non-residents during the day but revert to resident-only use between 19:00 and 07:00. Additionally, Valletta employs a Controlled Vehicular Access (CVA) system that uses cameras to track vehicle entry and exit within charging zones.
