Last-minute guide

  • to get from the airport to your hotel, taking a taxi is the best option as there is no hotel shuttle service. We encourage you to purchase vouchers at the taxi booth in the terminal (the airport is very small). A ride from the airport to either hotel should cost around 16EUR.
  • the mains supply in Malta uses the ‘British’ system of three rectangular pins for the plugs and sockets (220V, 50Hz), so both Continental Europeans and North Americans need to bring adaptors for their laptops.
  • As of 1st January 2008, the Maltese Lira ceased to exist. Euro is the official currency.
  • Malta has two official languages, Maltese and English.
  • Although tap water is not dangerous, it is recommended to drink mineral water.
  • Tipping rate is about 10%.
  • during the meeting, you may expect outside temperature between 14°C/57°F and 19°C/66°F, mostly sunny and dry.
  • if you plan to drive in Malta, remember to drive on the left lane.
  • A map of Malta ( map_malta ) indicating the location of the hotels. Navigate Malta through Google Maps.
  • For more complete information, download the Malta travel guide ( Malta_travel_guide_V3 ) prepared by Tony Davies.
