Of course, prices will vary depending on the exact dates and airline, but generally, February offers some nice deals on flights within Europe.

🚌 Bus Tips for Malta: Ride Like a Local! 🚌

Hey travelers! Today’s post is all about getting around Malta like a pro – by bus! Maltese buses are awesome and super cheap way to get pretty much anywhere on the island. But to make your trips smooth, there are a few things you should know 😉

1. Where to find the bus schedule?

* Bus Stops: Each bus stop has a sign with the route number and a list of the main stops on that route. But honestly, you often won't find a detailed timetable posted there.
* Malta Public Transport Website: Your best bet is the official Malta Public Transport website: [Malta Public Transport](again, insert link here as per instructions). They've got a Journey Planner where you can type in where you're starting and where you want to go, and it'll tell you which bus you need, the schedule, and you can even track your bus live!
* Tallinja App: Malta Public Transport has an official app called Tallinja (you can find it on the App Store and Google Play). It’s super handy for planning trips, buying tickets, and tracking buses.

2. How to buy tickets?

* Single Ticket: You can just buy a single ticket right from the driver when you get on the bus. In winter (roughly until mid-June), a single ticket is €2. It's pricier in summer and at night. You usually pay in cash, so try to have small bills or coins.
* Explore Card: If you plan to use the buses a lot, it’s way cheaper to get an Explore Card. They have a 7-day card (€21) which gives you unlimited bus rides on Malta and Gozo. You can buy Explore Cards at the airport, at Malta Public Transport kiosks, and in some tourist shops. You need to activate the card on your first ride by tapping it on the validator when you get on the bus.

3. How to figure out the routes?

* Route Numbers: Every bus route has a number. Remember the number you need and keep an eye on the sign on the front of the bus.
* Final Destinations: The bus sign usually shows the final stop of the route. Use that to make sure you’re heading in the right direction.
* Google Maps and other navigation apps: These are awesome for getting around Malta. They show bus routes and stops really well.
* Don’t be afraid to ask! Maltese people are usually really friendly and happy to help tourists. Ask the driver or other passengers if you're unsure about the route.

4. Tips for a comfy ride:

* Be ready for traffic: Especially during rush hour and in popular tourist spots. Give yourself extra travel time.
* Buses can get crowded: In peak season and at busy times, buses can be packed. Be prepared to stand.
* Wave to stop the bus: To get the bus to stop at your stop, you need to wave as you see the bus with the right number coming.
* Press the "Stop" button early: To get off at your stop, press the "Stop" button on the handrail a bit before your stop, so the driver knows to pull over.

Hope these tips help you feel more confident using Maltese buses and make your trip to Malta even more awesome!

4. Put the rabbit back in the pan, simmer on low heat until the meat is tender (about 1.5-2 hours).

Where to try Stuffat tal-Fenek in Malta?

You'll find this dish in pretty much any traditional Maltese restaurant. Look for "traditional Maltese restaurants" in Valletta, Mdina, Rabat, or other towns. It's extra special to try Stuffat tal-Fenek in a cozy taverna in Mdina, which is where the name "Mdina Rabbit Stew" actually comes from.
