Book flights, hotels, and activities, curated for travelers visiting Malta.
No Malta-specific general booking app is necessary. Use VisitMalta for planning, Heritage Malta for official museums and archaeological sites, and each ferry, attraction, dive centre or tour operator's own current site for payment and conditions. The crucial exception is Blue Lagoon on Comino: anyone stepping onto land inside the managed area needs a free timed landing pass from the Malta Tourism Authority portal. The three daily time slots are capacity-limited, the pass may be booked up to two months ahead, and a boat ticket does not replace the QR code. Save it offline or print it because the code is delivered by email and cannot be retrieved from the portal. Confirm that a boat's departure and return times fit the booked slot, and recheck weather and cancellation terms. For Heritage Malta sites and hypogea, verify the exact site, date, entry time and accessibility; availability shown by a marketplace is not authoritative. Save every QR code, meeting point, operator number and refund policy offline. Guests aged 18 or older whose licensable accommodation visit begins on or after 1 July 2026 owe an eco contribution of €1.50 per night, capped at €22.50 per person per visit. The accommodation collects it. Verify unexpected links through the original booking channel and request a receipt. Malta is in the Schengen Area. The EU Entry/Exit System is fully operational for affected non-EU short-stay travelers, while ETIAS was not yet operating in August 2026. Check nationality-specific official rules before departure and allow time for the external-border process.
