MoroccoQuestions from the trade
What should I see in Malta in one week?
A week in Malta can include Valletta, the Three Cities, Mdina and a visit to Gozo. Beaches or prehistoric sites can round out the programme. Group visits by area and give an island excursion its own day, allowing time for transfers as well as the places you want to explore.
Where should I stay in Malta for sightseeing without changing hotels?
Valletta and Sliema are two bases to consider for sightseeing in Malta, while Mellieha suits a trip focused more on the north and beaches. Choose around your intended excursions. Being close to a useful bus stop or ferry departure point matters as much as the general neighbourhood.
Can I visit Malta without renting a car?
Yes, Malta can be explored using buses, ferries, taxis and walking instead of a rental car. This works best when your accommodation has useful connections to the places you plan to visit. Allow for connections, particularly on Gozo trips or days that combine several sites in different areas.
How can I visit Gozo during a holiday in Malta?
Gozo is reached by boat from Malta, including services between Cirkewwa and Mgarr and between Valletta and Mgarr. Passenger-only services differ from those carrying vehicles, so choose the appropriate crossing. A day trip gives an introduction, while an overnight stay removes the need to return the same evening.
Do I need a reservation to visit the Blue Lagoon in Malta?
Yes, visitor access to the Blue Lagoon on Comino in Malta is managed through a booking system. An access reservation is separate from purchasing a boat crossing or excursion. Before paying for a trip, confirm whether the operator arranges the required reservation or whether you must complete it yourself.
Where can I find sandy beaches in Malta?
Mellieha Bay, Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha are among Malta’s sandy beaches. Much of the coastline also consists of rocky swimming areas, which offer a different experience from a sandy shore. For a beach-focused holiday, check the actual sea access near your accommodation rather than relying on a waterfront address.
How can an event planner combine a Malta conference with a Gozo excursion?
A conference in Malta can combine meetings on the main island with a Gozo excursion if the schedule allows sufficient transfer time. Coordinate the hotel, road transport and ferry crossing as one programme. Separate activity time from travel and boarding time when assessing how much the group can realistically do.
How can a French travel agency find a local DMC in Malta?
Azur RP represents Emotion Events and puts agencies in touch with this local DMC to study trip requests and obtain a suitable proposal.
How do I request a quote for a group or tailor-made trip to Malta?
An agency can send Azur RP or its DMC partner the dates, the number of travellers, the indicative budget and the services required, so that a proposal can be prepared.
