Logistics

  • The School will be held at the Old University Campus in Valletta, a 16 century building which was the original seat of the University of Malta.

    It is 5 minutes walking distance from the Valletta Bus Terminus and the Valletta Ferry landing.

  • From the airport: If you are considering public transport, we highly recommend taking a bus to Valletta directly from the airport. The X4 route operates from approximately 5:35 am to 10:16 pm, departing from the Airport bus terminus every 20 or 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. While this is the most economical option (€2.00 for a single journey between mid-June and mid-October and €1.50 for the rest of the year), it is worth noting that it may not be the fastest choice.
    By Ferry: For those arriving from southern Italy, a valid alternative to flying is to travel by sea. Currently, there is a convenient service available from Pozzallo (www.virtuferries.com).

  • Since the Summer School will take place at the Old University of Malta Campus in Valletta, there are many suitable locations for where one could find accommodation which are 30mins commute away from the venue.

    Valletta : Staying in the Capital of Malta will allow you to be 5mins walk from the conference venue and stay in a historic location. You will find various AirBnBs and Hotels in this area but will be a bit pricey.

    Floriana/Gzira/Msida : These are nearby areas with many options which will be cheaper with an additional 10-20min walk or bus ride.

    Sliema : For a half an hour bus ride you can stay in the vibrant sea front area of Sliema where one can find many bars and a lot of accommodation geared towards students and tourists.

    From Sliema, one can catch several buses to Valletta or a Ferry

    Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua) : If you are feeling a bit more interested in culture and exploring and don’t mind returning to home a little earlier. We can definitely recommend finding an AirBnb or Hotel in the three cities area.
    This historic and picturesque harbour area is efficiently connected to Valletta via a ferry which one can catch every half hour.
