Driving in and around Valletta

Valletta itself is a pedestrian-priority fortress city with a Controlled Vehicular Access (CVA) camera system. Visitors driving into Valletta during CVA hours incur automated billing. We advise collecting your vehicle outside the bastions in Floriana and driving outwards to explore the rest of Malta.

🅿️Parking around Valletta

The best place to park when visiting Valletta is the large multi-storey MCP Car Park in Floriana, located just a 3-minute stroll from City Gate. Free public white parking bays can also be found around the Floriana Granaries (Il-Fosos).
