The tiny island nation boasts friendly people, ancient medieval towns and castles, warm weather, awesome food, and charismatic cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owing to its unique position between Africa and Europe, Malta offers visitors an interesting cultural blend. As you explore, you increasingly notice the Italian, English, and North African elements in the food, language, culture, and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To top it all off, it\u2019s relatively cheap

in Malta<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/maltaguide2.jpeg\" alt=\"a view of the coast in Malta, lined by towering historic buildings near the harbor\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Explore Valletta<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>For Europe\u2019s smallest capital, Valletta packs a big punch: it\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 300 monuments. There\u2019s plenty to see here! Walk the fortifications, wander around St. John\u2019s Co-Cathedral, visit the history museum and the National War Museum, admire the plethora of churches, and dine out on the historical waterfront. Don\u2019t miss the catacombs that were turned into a secret military base during World War II and the Cold War. One of the best things to do though is to just stroll the narrow roads and alleys and let yourself get lost. If you want to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/valletta-l1195\/complete-valletta-walking-tour-t124856\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guided walking tour of Valletta<\/a>, they last about 3 hours and cost 20 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Wander Mdina<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Mdina is a fortified city and served as the original capital of the country. Like Valletta, it has a beautiful cathedral to visit and lots of old backstreets and passageways to explore. Be sure to visit the nearby catacombs and ancient Roman houses while you&#8217;re here. Don\u2019t miss the Knights of Malta museum if you want a quirky and outdated experience (I don\u2019t think this museum has been updated in decades but it\u2019s fun). There\u2019s also the Dungeons Museum where they have recreated scenes from Malta\u2019s long history (note: some of the scenes depict episodes of torture and crucifixion). Admission is 5 EUR. To learn more about the city, take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/mdina-l2070\/mdina-city-walking-tour-t177576\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">walking tour of Mdina<\/a>. They last two hours and cost 18 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Hike a coastal trail in Gozo<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The coastal trails in Gozo offer a few different routes around the island for anyone looking for some exercise and stunning panoramic views. All of the walks combine getting back to nature with a bit of exploring history as they take you through some amazing flora and fauna as well as charming towns and villages. If you can only do one, hike from Marsalforn to the (sadly now gone) Azure Window. Keep your eyes peeled for all the traditional salt pans in Xwejni that have been used to harvest salt over the centuries. Other great hikes to check out are the Xlendi Tower, which takes you to a seaside tower that was built in 1650 and the Ras in-Newwiela trail that ends and a stunning stretch of white cliffs overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. See the Tarxien Temples<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located near Valletta, this complex is made up of 4 megalithic structures. It\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dates back to 3150 BCE. The temples were used for rituals, which may have included animal sacrifices and cremations and some of the walls still have prehistoric artwork on them, including bas-relief sculptures and friezes depicting animals and spirals. While mostly ruins and rubble, it\u2019s one of the best ways to learn about the history of the island. Admission is 6 EUR and the Tarxien Temples App has audio guides you can use to navigate your way around. You can also splash out on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/malta-l90\/malta-private-half-day-archeological-sites-tour-t336956\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDMalta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">private archeology tour<\/a> if you really want to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Relax on the beach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re visiting in the summer, be sure to schedule some time for the beaches. Golden Bay, Mellieha Bay, and Peter\u2019s Pool are all great places to soak up some rays. The water in Malta is super clear and a brilliant turquoise. Paradise Bay and Armier, on the northern tip, also offer gorgeous views of the island of Gozo. If you have time to get there, the beaches in Gozo are beautiful and don\u2019t get quite as busy as the main beaches in Malta. There\u2019s not always much shade so take plenty of sunscreen and water (although most have at least one place you can buy drinks and snacks). Whichever beach you go to, be sure to arrive early so you can beat the crowds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id49060_f04825-9c alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column49060_9598ae-9c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_723920-0e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_723920-0e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_723920-0e\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_723920-0e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_723920-0e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_723920-0e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading49060_723920-0e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_723920-0e\">Other Things to See and Do in Malta<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Attend the Carnival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Malta has been throwing its own version of Carnival every February for over 500 years! Celebrations are held all around the island during the week leading up to Ash Wednesday, with parades, dancing, and costumes. Much of the population heads to Gozo for the weekend, so be sure to plan ahead as public transportation during that time can be a nightmare (more so than usual). Book your accommodation in advance because everything fills up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cruise around the island<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a different view of the island, take a ride around the coast. Tours usually stick to a certain region of the island and the more expensive trips include lunch. They cost from 20-30 EUR, last between 4-8 hours, stop off at a few beaches, and highlight some of the many shipwrecks around the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/activity\/-t197872?partner_id=LLKQJ38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Your Guide<\/a> has a great full-day tour that covers all the highlights and gives you three hours of free time to explore Gozo, if you want to go beyond the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Explore the Citadel<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This fort was built by the British in Rabat\/Victoria (this is the Rabat on the island of Gozo, not to be confused with Rabat on the main island of Malta). Known as the Cittadella or the Castello, it was built in the 16th century, though fortifications that have been found in this spot go back over 2,000 years (the area was settled in the Bronze Age). Inside, you can see the Cathedral of Gozo and the Bishop\u2019s Palace, along with other historic buildings throughout the winding streets. Some of the damage you\u2019ll see on the structures was actually from Napoleon\u2019s troops in the 18th century, though a fair amount is due to exposure to the elements. It\u2019s free to enter and explore, with lots of little shops hidden down the alleys. For 5 EUR, you can check out the Visitors Center, the Nature Museum, the Gozo Archaeology Museum, Gran Castello Historic House, and the Old Prisons. The fort offers a great view of the city and the surrounding area, making it a good place to come at sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Go diving<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Malta is surrounded by a plethora of shipwrecks that make for some great diving expeditions. The water in many places is incredibly clear so you have excellent visibility as you explore. Some of the most popular dive sites are the Um El Faroud oil tanker (it was sunk intentionally to act as a reef), the Double Arch cave in Gozo, and the Blue Hole (also in Gozo). You can also dive to see the fallen Azure Window (a famous rock formation that collapsed in 2017). A two-dive package starts around 90-120 EUR per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Hit the road<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Most tourists who visit Malta never stray far from Valletta. If you want to really see the country, rent a car. There are lots of remote places to explore in Malta and a car gives you the freedom to do so. Considering the island is so small, you can just spend the day exploring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/malta-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the aging and battered towns that dot the island<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can find car rentals<\/a> for as little as 20 EUR per day so it\u2019s an affordable choice if you want to get away from the crowds and see the country beyond Valletta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Relax in the Lower and Upper Barrakka Gardens<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I love these gardens. Located in Valletta, on the southern side of the peninsula, they overlook the harbor and make a great place to watch the comings and goings of people and boats. They were created in 1661 as the private grounds for some of the knights who resided here. They were opened to the public in 1824 and are a relaxing nook of the city. Bring a book or a snack, grab a spot on a bench, and watch the world go by. The gardens are full of palm trees and there are different flowers and plants around based on the season. You\u2019ll also see fountains and shaded spots to relax. Don&#8217;t miss the Siege Bell Memorial, which was built in 1992 to commemorate the 7,000 people who lost their lives during the Siege of Malta in World War II (the bells chime daily at noon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Explore St. Paul\u2019s Catacombs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located near Mdina, these underground tunnels were used by the Romans as cemeteries up until the 4th century (and possibly as late as the 7th century). They were built in the 3rd century and are composed of over 30 different areas, 20 of which are open to the public. The entire network of underground passages covers 2,000 square meters. In one of the chambers, you\u2019ll find an ornate altar and the two large halls have pillars carved to look like columns. In the Middle Ages, the catacombs were used for religious worship, though they later just became storage areas until their rediscovery in the 1980s. They are an amazing thing to see. I loved them. Don\u2019t miss them! Admission is 6 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Visit the Hypogeum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of Malta\u2019s most popular historical attractions. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Hypogeum was carved over 5,000 years ago and was an ancient temple\/burial site in the Neolithic Age (over 7,000 bodies have been found here). It\u2019s really cool and the displays provide lots of detailed descriptions and context. The halls, rooms, and passages were carved into three levels from the limestone under the city. In some of the chambers, you can see remaining frescoes and other artwork carved into the rock. It is so popular during the summertime (and into the autumn) that you need to book your tickets up to four weeks in advance. Admission is 35 EUR and includes a guided tour. It&#8217;s one of the best-preserved historical sites in the country and is worth every penny. Don\u2019t skip it! It&#8217;s just 15 minutes south of Valletta by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Visit the Blue Lagoon<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blue Lagoon is situated between Comino and Cominotto (i.e. between the main island and Gozo) and is the most iconic beach in the country because of its pristine white sand beach and turquoise water, which is some of the clearest in the world. It can get incredibly busy here on the weekend, so be sure to come early to stake out a good spot. There is a regular ferry service from Malta, however, if you want to visit from Gozo, you need to take a private boat. It takes about 45 minutes to drive to the ferry from Valletta. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/malta-l90\/malta-gozo-comino-islands-blue-lagoon-seacaves-tour-t197872\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\">Half-day catamaran trips to the Blue Lagoon cost from 25 EUR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. See the Marsaxlokk fish market<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This market happens every Sunday morning. It\u2019s a bit touristy and gets quite crowded but it\u2019s the best place to buy fresh fish. You can find lots of other items such as fresh produce, honey, and other local goods here too. There are plenty of restaurants around (though you should expect to pay tourist prices here). Marsaxlokk is on the southern tip of the main island, about 25 minutes away from Valletta by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Explore Popeye Village<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>What started out as the film set for the quirky 1980 <em>Popeye<\/em> musical starring Robin Williams is now a large tourist attraction. You can explore the village, watch a documentary about its creation, and even play mini-golf. There are actors dressed as characters from the film walking around and interacting with visitors. This is a fun place to go if you\u2019re traveling with kids. You can take boat rides, watch a silversmith demonstration, and bounce around on water trampolines. When the weather is warm, they offer boat rides around the area. Off-peak admission is 15 EUR while peak-season admission is 24 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. See the Gozo Salt Pans<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Lining the coast of Gozo, these salt pans have been in use for over 350 years. The traditional methods of harvesting salt have been passed down for generations, and even to this day, you can find locals engaged in harvesting the crystals. There is salt for sale in shops all around the island (it\u2019s a great souvenir to take home).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Visit the Three Cities<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua trace their origins back to the Middle Ages and have been inhabited more or less since people arrived on the island. The Three Cities were also the original home of the Knights Hospitallers (a Catholic military order known as the Knights of Malta) and feature a lot of wonderful architecture and history. They aren\u2019t as visited as other destinations on the island so it can be a good way to get away from the crowds. They&#8217;re just across the water from Valletta. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/malta-l90\/from-valletta-birgu-cospicua-and-senglea-tour-with-cruise-t425402\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Half-day tours of the Three Cities<\/a> cost 36 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id49060_631461-70 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column49060_c38199-6b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column49060_c38199-6b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_7f5bfe-39\">How to Stay Safe in Malta<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Malta consistently ranks as one of the safest countries in the world. Crime is rare, though it&#8217;s always a good idea to keep your wits about you. Petty theft can still occur so always keep your valuables tucked away and be mindful of your things while on crowded public transportation or while swimming at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When swimming, make sure you only swim in areas where there are other swimmers around. Riptides are common so it\u2019s best to avoid secluded beaches unless you can be sure that it\u2019s safe. Never swim when the sea is rough and never swim alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers in Malta are on the aggressive side, so take extra precautions when crossing roads, cycling, or renting a car. When taking a taxi, always wear your seatbelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, the standard safety precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). There are a lot of helpful solo female travel blogs on the web that can give you specific tips and information about a place that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re out hiking in the spring or autumn, be aware that it is hunting season (just for small birds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent a car, don&#8217;t leave any valuables in it overnight. Break-ins are rare but it&#8217;s always better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scams here are very rare here but you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.

To help you stick to your budget, here are some money-saving tips and tricks for visiting Malta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visit during the off-season<\/strong> &#8211; Malta (or at least Valletta) gets crowded in the summer and prices tend to rise (cruises stop here). If you want to save money and have a less hectic visit, visit during the off-season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook your own meals<\/strong> &#8211; While restaurants aren\u2019t overly expensive, eating out every day adds up. Try cooking your own meals to save some money. There are plenty of small shops and larger supermarkets (like Lidl) where you can grab basic staples for cheap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid supermarket produce<\/strong> &#8211; A lot of produce at the supermarket is imported (and thus more expensive). Search out local vendors who sell their produce at the side of the road or at small stalls in town. It&#8217;s cheaper and fresher!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a tallinja transit pass<\/strong> &#8211; The tallinja card can save you money on bus trips, if you want to explore beyond the major cities of the island. While a single trip is 2.50 EUR you can get a 24-hour pass for 6 EUR. There\u2019s also a 7-day pass for 25 EUR. You can also buy twelve single trips for 21 EUR, which saves over buying each one individually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get the Malta Pass<\/strong> &#8211; This tourism card provides free entry to Malta&#8217;s top 40 attractions, making it worthwhile for anyone who plans on visiting a lot of sites. It also includes a free sightseeing bus (which is worth 20 EUR itself). You can get a 1-, 2-, or 3-day pass for 50 EUR, 80 EUR, or 100 EU,R respectively. Buy it online before you go for the best price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; There are a few tour companies in Valletta, such as <em>Colour My Travel<\/em>, that offer free 1.5-hour walking tours. You get to explore the area and learn about the local culture, history, and architecture from a local expert. It\u2019s a great introduction to Malta and definitely worth doing. Just be sure to tip!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; You can sign up for a hotel credit card and use the points you earn toward accommodation when you travel. Most cards come with at least 1-2 free nights when you sign up, which can help you save a lot. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here\u2019s a post that will help you get started with hotel credit cards<\/a>. If you start earning points now, you\u2019ll have plenty for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skip the taxis<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis in Malta are not cheap. Avoid them as much as possible. If you do need to use them, get the eCab app. It ensures you get a reputable and reliable taxi (they are good for short distances while taxis are likely cheaper for longer journeys).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring a water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water here is safe to drink (though it tastes a little off). Bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id49060_0d6d99-96 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"getaround\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column49060_71c162-f1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column49060_71c162-f1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f458871 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_247776-35, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_247776-35[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_247776-35\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_247776-35 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_247776-35[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_247776-35\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading49060_247776-35 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_247776-35\">How to Get Around in Malta<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/maltaguide_.jpg\" alt=\"a view of the coast in Malta, lined by towering historic buildings near the harbor\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public transportation<\/strong> &#8211; Public buses go pretty much everywhere in Malta (albeit not regularly). A single fare is 2.50 EUR during the day and 3 EUR at night. You can also purchase a pass with 12 trips for 21 EUR. Just keep in mind that they fill up fast so you might have to stand for your trip. They also can be infrequent and pass by stops without warning if they&#8217;re full, so if you are taking the bus make sure you have lots of extra time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the public buses, there are also hop-on\/hop-off buses that have different routes around the country. These routes cover all the major sites on both islands (Valletta, St. Julian\u2019s, Popeye Village, the former Azure Window, etc.). A day pass for a single route starts at 25 EUR with Hello Malta or 28 EUR with City Sightseeing. I&#8217;d skip this and just use the public bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ferry<\/strong> &#8211; The ferry to Gozo costs 4.65 EUR and takes 25 minutes. Be sure to arrive in advance as it fills up fast. The ferry from Malta to Italy takes less than 2 hours and costs 50-80 EUR (depending on the time of year) EUR for a one-way ticket to Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bike<\/strong> &#8211; You can rent bikes for around 15 EUR per day, though I&#8217;d be extra careful cycling outside of Valletta. Drivers here are aggressive and the roads are quite narrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxi<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis start at 5 EUR and cost around 2 EUR per kilometer. There are no Uber or Lyft here but you can download the eCab app as an alternative. It\u2019s usually cheaper than taxis for short distances. However, if you&#8217;re on a budget, it&#8217;s best to just avoid taking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flying<\/strong> &#8211; Flights from Malta to and from mainland Europe can be found for as little as 45 EUR if you book early. Ryanair is the most budget-friendly airline that flies to Malta so they are your best choice if you&#8217;re on a budget. Flights to and from Morocco and North Africa can be found for as little as 55 EUR per person (again, if you book early and are flexible). There are no domestic flights around Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals cost between 20-25 EUR per day for a small car. Just keep in mind that the cheapest rentals are manual transmissions so you need to be able to drive stick if you want to get around. The drivers here are also very aggressive and tend to see the rules of the road as suggestions rather than laws. Renters need to be at least 21 years old.

The weather is the warmest then, with daily temperatures around 31\u00b0C (88\u00b0F). Not surprisingly, this is also the busiest time of the year, so expect crowds and higher prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, as in much of Europe, many locals leave for their own summer holidays. A lot of shops and restaurants close, which can crowd the remaining places even more. But the weather is perfect and most tourist attractions stay open. If you choose to visit during the busy summer months, the Mediterranean Food Festival happens in August. This event features cuisines from around the world with cooking competitions, talks about sustainability, and displays by local artists. In late July and early August, you can also check out the Farsons Beer Festival, which is totally free to enter. There\u2019s plenty of live music, food, and beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shoulder months of April-May and September-October offer a nice compromise of decent weather and fewer crowds. Expect temperatures around 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F). Carnival is a major spring event and has been celebrated in Malta for more than 500 years. During the week leading up to Ash Wednesday (about seven weeks before Easter), there are masquerade competitions, parades, parties, and masked balls. In late April and early May, there\u2019s the Malta Fireworks Festival. Some incredible fireworks displays and competitions happen over the course of these two to three weeks. In the fall, the island of Gozo hosts the Festival Mediterranea. This is a celebration of the arts that have been a part of Gozo\u2019s culture for more than 7,000 years. There are operas, symphonies, poetry readings, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winter in Malta is chilly, with temperatures dropping to 10-15\u00b0C (48-60\u00b0 F) \u2014 sometimes colder. Aside from attractions closing for Christmas, everything is open, though some bus schedules change to reflect the lower number of visitors in the country. In short, it&#8217;s a perfect time to visit as long as you aren&#8217;t looking to hit the beach and don&#8217;t mind some windy sweater weather.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Malta Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.

The downloadable guide can be used on your Kindle, iPad, phone, or computer so you can have it with you when you go.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/product\/europe-guidebooks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about my book on Europe!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id49060_b65634-a6 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"posts\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column49060_df86ac-fe\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6886dad7 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading49060_754f1e-9b\">Malta Travel Guide: Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Want more tips for your trip?
