Malta island attractions

Many people ask what can be seen and what to do in Malta, because usually knowledge about this

 country is not as great as about other European countries. And this is understandable. Honestly, 

there is no such thing as “the best route to Malta” - on this small island you can easily see and 

implement everything that was planned. So, if you want to spend a weekend in Malta or are planning

 a longer stay in Malta for 5 days, 7 days or more, there are many opportunities for cheap holidays 

in Malta if you know where to look for them and how to plan your pastime. All the necessary 

information you can learn from just one article! Here is our guide to help you get your perfect 

Malta route.

Before we dive, the country of Malta actually consists of three islands: the main island of Malta, which is the largest, smallest island of Gozo in the north-west, to which you can take a ferry, and the smallest island of Comino in between Malta and Gozo (also available for visiting only by boat). Driving a car - you can get from the southernmost edge of the main island from where the ferry 

leaves for Gozo, to the north-west in about an hour. This is the entire length of the main island. 

One hour!

However, the whole
island is very easy to get around. Many places and attractions can be visited
in half a day or even in a day from anywhere in the island, depending on where
you are staying. Many attractions are available from the so-called “central
points” - Valletta and Slim. A walk through these cities will allow you to see
the entire capital and visit the most populated part of Malta if you do not
have a lot of time. If you are just planning
to spend up to 2-3 days on the island and only in Valletta or Sliema, you will
not need a car, since you can safely move around the city on foot or take a
taxi in case of emergency. By taxi to the airport you can get at a fixed rate,
and in fact it will be all your needs in the car. See below the section
“Official and private taxis”. 

Ah, these buses are in Malta. If you were here before, you probably also smiled. If you didn’t know yet - the bus is a great, cheap way to drive around the whole island. BUT - this, at least, will also be a test for you. We mean that, although new buses are absolutely safe, you will often be amazed at the speed they develop and the constantly evolving situations along the route and sudden braking, and most interestingly, for some reason they DO NOT get into accidents.

If you plan to travel to Malta, you will need a place to stay. Although this article is more focused on “what to see and do”, we thought it would be useful to also provide you with the necessary information about booking a home. The suggested routes below also include hotels and hostels, so some of them will be useful for you too! To search for budget hotels and hostels, we recommend using our search for budget accommodation.

If you are not interested in a beach holiday, skip Golden Bay and go straight to the medieval city of Mdina. We will look at each of the above places in a little more detail and tell you what you can see and do there! Let's start with the capital of Malta, beautiful Valletta.
