18 tips for traveling in Malta

  • Transportation around the island is slow. Rent a car and don´t waste time going from one place to another.
  • Try different sports and activities. Malta is one of the best destinations in Europe for scuba diving, climbing and kayaking.

  • Compare prices and services before booking an “around the island” tour.
  • Respect the culture. Dress respectfully when visiting churches and other important heritage sites.
  • Malta can get full in high season. Book your accommodation in advance to avoid bad surprises.
  • Watch a sunset at the infinity pool in Café del Mar in Bugibba.

  • Malta has more than 300 days of sun. Always take sunscreen and sunglasses with you.
  • Visit the island during the Isle of MTV music festival. You will party with artists like Enrique Iglesias or Jason Derulo + it´s free

  • Gozo is not as small as it seems on the map. Rent a scooter and make the most of your day traveling around this beautiful island.
  • Take a ferry to Comino and explore the tiny island by yourself.
  • Popeye Village is probably one of the most beautiful hidden gems in Europe.

  • There are not many exchange houses in Malta. Take with you a credit card without foreign fee and avoid running out of cash.
  • Most locations in Valletta, Silema or St Julians offer free WiFi. Still, you can get a prepaid SIM card with 1GB internet at the airport for only 20 EUR.
  • If you spot the Coffee Circus bicycle, stop and have some coffee. It is probably the best coffee I’ve had on the island.

  • The ferry between Malta and Gozo starts operating at 5:00 and departs every 45 minutes until midnight.
  • The Malta Tourist Authority has an information booth at the airport. Get a free map and tour information there.
  • Finish your day drinking a glass of wine in some of the hip and cool bars at the coast of St Julian´s or Silema.
  • Start your day at the Tigne Seafront in Silema, one of the coolest locations in Malta, and take a swim in front of Valletta.
