Maps have different purposes
Tourism maps are useful for orientation, while local-government maps are the better reference for localities and boundaries.

Malta Map: Official Locality, Region and Visitor Maps
The right Malta map depends on the question: a visitor map helps plan an itinerary, while a locality-boundary map is better for addresses, research and local-government information. Use an official map source, then confirm a route or venue directly before travelling.
Last checked: 15 August 2026. Rules, services, prices and timetables can change; confirm the relevant official source before acting.
Choose the right Malta map
- Use a visitor map or official guide for attractions and itinerary planning.
- Use the government locality-and-regional map for official names, boundaries and regional groupings.
- Check the venue, operator or transport service for the final address and access instructions.
- Save an offline copy only as a backup; maps and access arrangements can change.
What to know before you act
Official locality data exists
The Research Innovation Unit publishes a locality and regional map with names, boundaries and regional groupings.
A map is not a service update
A mapped route does not confirm a bus diversion, ferry crossing, parking availability or attraction opening.
