Bus. The X2 express bus runs from the airport towards Sliema and St Julian's. Check the current timetable on the Malta Public Transport website before you travel.
Arriving. Self check-in with a key safe. Exact address and entry instructions are sent after booking.

Things to do from No. 8
Swim off the rocks
Sliema's seafront has rock platforms, ladders into clear water and summer lidos, a few minutes from the door.
Ferry to Valletta
The short harbour crossing lands you below the capital's walls. Go for the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the noon gun salute.
A day on Gozo
The fast ferry from Sliema takes about 45 minutes. Explore the Citadel in Victoria, Ramla Bay and the salt pans.
Walk the promenade
The seafront path runs from Tigné to St Julian's. Best at sunset, with a pastizz or a gelato in hand.
Harbour cruise
Boats leave from Sliema Ferries for tours of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities, and to Comino's Blue Lagoon in season.
