Heritage Malta has ensured that visitors to Museums by Candlelight in Birgu, on Saturday 18th April, can enjoy a seamless and enjoyable journey throughout the evening. Transportation options have been extended to make travel convenient for everyone attending this special event.

The Valletta–Bormla ferry and Barrakka Lift will remain in service until midnight, while Upper Barrakka Gardens will stay open to facilitate easy access between locations.

For a more traditional experience, the iconic Dgħajjes tal-Pass boats will continue operating between Valletta and Birgu, offering a scenic and authentic ride along the waterfront.
