Current Travel Situation
San Marino to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta is a Schengen member and allows San Marino passport holders to enter without a visa. Malta is one of Europe's smallest and most historically rich countries, with prehistoric temples predating Stonehenge and a fortified capital city. Direct flights from Italian airports make Malta extremely accessible for Samarinese travelers.
How to Get There
Malta connects by air from Italian airports and by ferry from Sicily. The Schengen zone allows onward movement to all member states. Gozo, Malta's sister island, is accessible by ferry and offers quieter beaches and the Azure Window area.
Money & Banking
Malta uses the Euro (EUR). ATMs are available throughout. Credit and debit cards widely accepted. San Marino also uses Euro, so no currency exchange is needed. Cash is useful at local markets and smaller establishments.
Practical Tips
1. Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the Three Cities opposite the harbor are equally rewarding.
2. Malta uses the Euro; no currency exchange needed for San Marino travelers.
3. The prehistoric Hal Saflieni Hypogeum requires advance booking months ahead.
4. The Blue Lagoon on Comino island is very popular; arrive early to avoid crowds.
5. English is an official language in Malta alongside Maltese.
