Study English in Malta and live the experience
At ESE – European School of English, students don’t just attend classes — they become part of an international community.
Here’s everything you need to know to plan your weekend right:
Transport
Public buses to and from Ta’ Qali run throughout the day, but services become limited in the evening and are not reliable late at night.
If you’re staying out late (which we know you will), we recommend planning ahead – taxis and ride apps will be the easiest option, especially when shared.
Come prepared
Warm days, cooler nights. The Maltese weather in April can shift quickly.
Bring sun protection for the daytime, and something warm for after dark.
