What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Sliema-Valletta ferry as a quick, scenic, and affordable alternative to buses, with top deck views being a highlight. Tigné Point is appreciated for its modern ambiance and beautiful Valletta vistas, though some note the rocky swimming areas might not suit everyone.
"Must try way of transport from Sliema to Valletta. There are buses of course, but are very crowded, and this is very nice other option. It takes only few minutes to reach the Valletta, best is to take a seat on the top deck for the view. Very calm and quiet ride. On the other side you can climb up directly to visit 2 main churches in Valletta and also discover the city in whole. Ticket one way is 2 EUR, 3.80 Eur cost return one. It is not included in your ExploreFlex card Tallinja."
