Download Malta and Gozo before travel, save the exact accommodation entrance and preserve Maltese letters in place names. Offline maps do not retain live traffic, business or transit data. Dense historic streets, stepped lanes, fortifications, private courtyards and entrances on a different level can make a nearby pin misleading, so follow signs on the ground and check the pedestrian route. For buses, use Maps to understand the route and the Tallinja app or operator site for the latest stop and service information, but neither source reliably reflects every sudden diversion.

Malta drives on the left. Roads can be narrow, congested and lined with parked cars, and parking is limited in Valletta and other busy centres. Transport Malta recommends park and ride for Valletta, where controlled vehicle access charges can apply. Do not rent a car merely because two places look close on a map; buses, ferries and rides are often easier in the central visitor corridor.

If driving, confirm the rental's insurance, licence requirements, fuel policy, parking instructions and responsibility for access charges. Obey painted bays and signs rather than copying other cars. A licensed parking attendant may accept a voluntary gratuity but is not entitled to demand a fee. Do not leave valuables visible.

For coastal walks or Comino, save the route, carry water and power, check weather and boat status, and turn back before heat, wind or fading light makes the route unsafe.
