Malta can be a long day in port, so make the most of it and travel.
Valletta is the port city with two cathedrals and a bus garage. The latter is the key to exploring as the public buses can take you anywhere. In this film, we take you to the bus garage and show you how easy it is to find a bus to anywhere on the island. So, from the southernmost capital of Europe, you have so much to see.
