Driving in Malta: Tips for a Smooth Journey 

  • Driving on the Left: In Malta, vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road, so be prepared for roundabouts and junctions.
  • Narrow Roads: Many of Malta’s rural roads are narrow, especially in Mdina, Rabat, and some villages. Take extra care on these roads, especially during peak tourist seasons.
  • Parking: Parking in Valletta and Sliema can be difficult. Look for park-and-ride facilities or opt for paid parking in urban areas.
