Visit Malta

With over 7,000 years of history, Malta is the ultimate holiday destination for any history buff! Home to some of the oldest free-standing temples in the World, the Islands have also played host to the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Knights of St. John, Napoleon and the British Empire. A jaunt to its phenomenal fortifications, and an open-mouthed-gape at its truly awe-inspiring architecture is a must. 

No trip to Malta is complete without going on a journey through time, from the prehistoric times to modern day.

Accessibility

The Maltese Islands are fairly accessible throughout and are now more wheelchair-friendly than ever before! Starting with your arrival, Malta Airport has trained assistants to help those with reduced mobility, and you can even book Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) services through your airline carrier. There is also priority seating inside the terminal, as well as lifts and escalators to all floors, designated toilets, and parking.

When it comes to tourist attractions, many temples, museums, churches, and forts have been adapted with ramps, lifts, and mod-cons to make them more wheelchair-friendly.

If you want to visit a seaside location, many of the Blue Flag beaches are equipped with wooden walkways and parking for persons with disability. There are floating beach wheelchairs available too.

Accommodation

As all accommodation providers are legally required to offer accessibility assistance, when it comes to finding a place to stay, there are a variety of hotels, farmhouses, villas, apartments, and boutique hotels to choose from. It is always wise, however, to contact these places ahead of time to ensure that the premises are suitable for you.

Restaurants

The flavour of Maltese cuisine is the result of a 7,000-year relationship with the many civilisations that have occupied the Maltese Islands. To ensure that your chosen restaurant is suitable for your disability, please call the establishment directly.

Airport

If special assistance is required at Malta International Airport, staff are trained to make your arrival or departure from Malta as seamless and comfortable as possible. You can book Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) services through your airline carrier.

In order to help the airport deliver a better and more efficient service, we strongly recommend that you book at least 48 hours before departure.

Autism-Friendly Programme

The Autism-Friendly Programme asks autistic travellers through Malta International Airport to complete a form to help identify ways in which the team can appropriately assist them. Travellers can also order a free wristband or cap; two accessories designed to ensure that the airport’s staff can immediately identify the person needing additional assistance. Please contact the airport to learn about the various other initiatives in place to support qualifying travellers.

• Persons with Reduced Mobility.    
• Autistic Passengers

Gozo Ferry

The Gozo Ferry is also fully wheelchair accessible, though if you are travelling by car, it is essential to make yourself known to staff and let them know you would like to be parked near a lift, otherwise you risk being blocked in by other cars and having to remain in your vehicle for the duration of your journey, which is not permissible. 

Contact Gozo Channel in advance of your journey to advise them of the date and time you expect to arrive at the ferry terminal so they can prepare to assist your boarding and crossing.
