Lovely staff, good itinerary and all on time However, it was very disappointing that we only got told we needed to exchange our mobile QR code 'ticket' for a physical ticket once we had purchased the tour. As we were staying in an independent apartment 1.5 hours away from Valletta and had no printing facilities, we had to get a service bus to Valletta and start the tour from there. This should have been made very clear from the start. Not everyone stays in a hotel or nearby the ticket validation points

What is a hop-on hop-off tour?

A hop-on hop-off tour offers a flexible and hassle-free way to explore a city, perfect for travelers looking to visit major attractions at their own pace. These buses operate on a fixed route with multiple stops at iconic landmarks and neighborhoods, allowing passengers to hop off to explore something they are interested in and hop back on the next bus when they are ready to continue. Tickets are usually valid for 24 hours or longer, offering plenty of time to take in the sights. Many of these tours also include either live commentaries or multilingual audio guides.

Why choose a hop-on hop-off tour of Malta

Explore two islands, your way

Whether you plan on soaking up the golden-hued Mediterranean beaches in Malta or traveling along one of the world’s biggest diving locations, Gozo, these hop-on hop-off tours let you create your own itinerary. Their flexible schedules, numerous buses, and stops at all the must-see spots ensure you don’t miss anything in Malta or Gozo.

Big names and hidden gems

The name Malta comes from the Phoenician word maleth, meaning "safe haven"—and it truly lives up to its name! This tiny island is known for its 365 churches and seven stunning sea caves like the Blue Grotto. Don’t miss the ancient temples of Ggantija, golden-hour photo ops in Valletta, or a moment of serene stillness at Mosta Church.

Storytime on the go

Travel isn’t just about sightseeing; it’s also about sharing stories. With audio guides available in 13+ languages, including English, German, Italian, and Spanish, you’ll hear fascinating nuggets of information about the two cities. Bonus: free WiFi onboard so you can share these stories (and photos) with friends as you go.

Perfect for any schedule

Short on time? Get the 1-day pass and see all the highlights. Staying a little longer? Opt for the 48-hour pass to get into the nitty-gritty. Why not upgrade your ticket with a harbor cruise and explore Malta's Game of Thrones filming locations? Much of the first season was shot here, and Malta even served as the capital of the Seven Kingdoms!

Hop-on hop-off buses are a great choice for:

Families with kids

If you traveling with your little ones, you need to sign up for a hop-on hop-off bus tour. These buses eliminate the inconvenience of walking long distances or navigating public transport with strollers. Most of the tours include many family-friendly stops like museums, parks, and attractions that your kids will enjoy.

Travelers on a budget

Exploring cities on your own can get expensive, but hop-on hop-off buses offer great value for the price. While these tours typically don’t include attraction tickets, you get access to a fixed route that covers all of the must-sees in a city, guides (live and audio), and citywide transportation for at least 24 hours.

Eco-conscious travelers

Hop-on hop-off buses are a great way to go green without missing out on the intricacies of the city if you care about traveling responsibly. Instead of booking multiple taxis or renting a car, you can rely on a short, well-planned route that reduces emissions and keeps your carbon footprint in check.

Solo travelers

Traveling solo? Hop-on hop-off buses are kind of like having a travel buddy. They are safe, convenient, and flexible, and come with live and audio guides to keep you company and share some of the city’s stories with you. You just need to hop on, hop off, and explore as you please!

Exploring Malta with City Sightseeing bus tours

Malta is truly an underrated treasure trove of history, shaped by centuries of Roman, Greek, Arab, Norman, and British influences. Yet, it rarely gets the recognition it deserves as a top travel destination. City Sightseeing makes exploring effortless with two hop-on hop-off bus tours across the islands of Malta and Gozo. Ever seen temples older than Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Giza? You will at Hagar Qim! These tours have it all—from historical landmarks and breathtaking coastal views to the UNESCO-recognized capital city of Valletta.

Malta Hop-on Hop-off bus routes:

South route: Red (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday)

Ideal for: If you are a sucker for history and would like to stroll through the desert city of Valletta and its many historic monuments, including one of the oldest temples in history, Hagar Qim, this is the route for you. 

Popular stops: Blue Grotto, Valletta City Centre, Siliema Ferries & Spinola Bay

Timings: 9:05am - 2:05pm 

Frequency: 60 minutes

Stops: 18 stops

North route: Blue (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday)

Ideal for: If you opt for the cruise, you will need to take this route. Get ready to set sail on the North route, which not only includes stunning views of the sea but also some of the oldest forts in the city such as Fort Ricasoli, where the film Gladiator was mostly filmed. 

Popular stops: Malta National Aquarium, Spinola Bay, Mosta Church & Ta’Qali Crafts Village

Timings: 8am - 2:30pm, 10:30am - 2:45pm (Harbor Cruise)

Frequency: 30-60 minutes, 2 hours (Harbor Cruise)

Stops: 30 stops

Gozo Hop-on Hop-off bus routes

Blue route

Ideal for: This route is designed to ensure that you get a glimpse of Gozo and everything it has to offer at a go! It includes monuments, the 5,500-year-old temples of Ggantija, and even a taste of the coastline with the infamous Ramla Bay, known for its red sand. 

Popular stops: Nadur, Ggantija Temples, Marsalforn & Ramla Bay

Timings: 11:35am - 5:30pm

Frequency: 45 minutes

Stops: 6 stops

Purple route

Ideal for: This one is for all sea lovers – the Purple route fully focuses on the seaside charm of Gozo. Expect cliffs, hills, lots of sand, and beautiful sunsets, so keep your camera ready! 

Popular stops: Mgarr, Ta’Pinu, Fontana Cottage & Xlendi

Timings: 9:45am - 3:45pm

Frequency: 45 minutes

Stops: 9 stops

Finding the perfect hop-on hop-off pass duration: 

24-hour pass: The essentials at your own pace

With the 24-hour pass, City Sightseeing offers both Malta and Gozo hop-on hop-off tours. In Malta, you’ll have access to two routes and 48 stops, while Gozo offers 15 stops across two scenic routes. We recommend doing one route in Malta and both Gozo routes if you can – it’ll give a great balance of both islands. Along the way, take a quick stop at a local supermarket for some traditional Maltese snacks, like Galletti (crispy crackers), Ġbejna (Maltese cheeselets), and Bigilla (a rich bean dip). Don’t forget a refreshing local drink like Kinnie (a citrusy soft drink) or a bottle of wine made with indigenous grape varieties, Gellewża (red) or Girgentina (white).

48-hour pass: Double the time, double the fun

If you’ve got a bit more time, the 48-hour pass gives you extra flexibility. You’ll still have access to the two routes and 48 stops in Malta, but with more time to dive deeper. A must-do addition to this pass is the optional Harbor Cruise, which is for about two hours, ideally in the late afternoon, to catch the golden hour sunset over the beautiful Maltese coastline. Do a full loop of both routes so you can pick out what locations you would like to visit again the next day!

Tips to make the best of your Malta Hop-on Hop-off tour

  1. When exploring Malta, dress as comfortably as possible. Wear light, breathable clothing, especially in the summer, as the island can get quite hot. However, it can be chilly in the winter and at night, so carry a light jacket with you.
  2. Pastizzi is a must-try Maltese snack – a flaky, golden pastry filled with ricotta cheese and mushy peas. Don’t let your only experience of it be from a cafe. For the real deal, head to a pastizzeria early in the morning for the freshest, crispiest treats.
  3. While there are taxis available for personal commutes, be cautious of white taxis – they are often priced higher for tourists. 
  4. Gozo's coastal views and forts make it perfect for daytime explorations, but it lacks nightlife options. Save your evenings for Malta’s vibrant night scenes, especially in areas like St. Julian’s or Valletta. 
  5. Do not forget to bring your sunscreen if you are opting for the Harbor Cruise. Apply it regularly at two-hour intervals, as the Maltese sun can be quite intense.

Frequently asked questions about the Malta Hop-on Hop-off bus tours

Are the hop-on hop-off buses accessible for wheelchairs and strollers?

Yes! The buses are fully accessible for both wheelchairs and strollers, ensuring that all travelers can enjoy the sights comfortably.

Can I bring my pet on the bus?

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on both Gozo and Malta hop-on hop-off tours.

When are the buses operational?

The hop-on hop-off tours run all year round, except on December 25. Whether you're visiting in summer or winter, you'll be able to explore Malta and Gozo with ease.

What should I carry with me on the tour?

Make sure to bring comfortable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat, especially if you're visiting in the summer. If you're planning to visit religious sites, be sure to dress modestly. A camera is also a must to capture the stunning sights!

What's the weather like in Malta, and when is the best time to visit?

Malta enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The best time to visit is during the spring (April to June) or fall (September to November) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. If you love the heat, summer is perfect, but be sure to pack light clothing and plenty of sunscreen!
