The gentle art of parking in Malta

Royal Motoring School · 5 July 2026

Parking is Malta's daily puzzle. Learn the marking colours in your area before leaving the car, never block garages marked with a licensed "no parking" plate, and treat corners and pedestrian crossings as sacred — a saved minute isn't worth a ticket or a blocked wheelchair ramp.

Master reverse parking early: it's a test requirement, and in Malta it's a life requirement. Ten minutes of practice at the end of a lesson pays off for decades of tight spaces.
