For as little as €1.50 per person (one way – €2.80 with return) you can catch the ferry from the Sliema waterfront to Valletta and back. The ferry runs straight across the harbour, which makes it quicker than public transport since the bus has to go around the coastal road. It also provides excellent opportunities for some great photos of the harbour. The trip takes just 15 minutes
Buses 13 and 14 run from Valletta on a frequent schedule. On average, a bus ride from Sliema to Valletta takes about 20 minutes. Bus tickets for a single day cost €1.50 per person in winter, €2 in summer, or €3 when travelling at night. These prices allow you to travel anywhere on the island for up to two hours. You can also purchase a explore ticket costing €21 with which you get unlimited travel by bus all throughout Malta and Gozo for 7 days.
