Heading to Gozo for Carnival? If it’s your first time, you might not know about the biblical amount of traffic that tends to build up around Ċirkewwa, often even stretching to Mellieħa throughout Friday, and even early on Saturday.

Getting around on Gozo can often be a challenge too, with the hundred-strong crowds that make their way around Gozo during the weekend. So if you’re heading over to the sister island to participate in the traditional revelry with your crew, why not skip the stress and get the bus?

Shuttle Mġarr Ferry-Nadur with each ferry (19:00 – 00:00)

Return special services at 01:00 to all localities (S1-S6)

Saturday 14th February

Victoria-Nadur direct every 15 mins (20:00 – 00:00)

Shuttle Mġarr Ferry-Nadur with each ferry (19:00 – 00:00)

Return special services at 01:00 and 02:30 to all localities (S1-S6)

Sunday 15th February
