2025 Malta Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Malta is located in the central Mediterranean. This time, we came to Blue Lagoon mainly for water activities. First, we played on the slide on the boat, and then we rode a Jet Ski! Being able to ride a Jet Ski in the Mediterranean, with waves constantly splashing, is thrilling! While driving along, you can see the vast sea and the unique rocks near Malta! The price is quite cost-effective, €60 for 30 minutes per person! Highly recommended!

I got up early and took a ferry from the Cirkewwa port of Malta to the Mgarr port of this paradise-like Gozo Island (Gozo) to start my day trip to Gozo Island. 🟧Gozo Island Introduction The second largest island in Malta, Gozo, is located to the northwest of the main island, 14 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide, it is really a small place. But when it comes to its history, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago, there were already traces of human activities here. The capital Victoria City (Victoria) with its earthy yellow buildings and those crisscrossing alleys that make people lose their way, surprisingly gives people the illusion of being in Fez, Morocco. But the local customs here are much better, the passionate and friendly Maltese give people a full sense of security. Climbing up the Citadel castle located in the center of Victoria City, you can take in the scenery of the island. You can also take a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus like me to tour the entire island. Then have a Citywalk in Victoria City. ❤️Recommended attractions on the island: 1️⃣ Citadel Castle 2️⃣Victoria City 3️⃣Blue Window 4️⃣Ancient Salt Field 5️⃣Tal Mixtar Cave 6️⃣Xlendi ⏰Tour time: 1 day ⛴️Ferry ticket: 4.5 euros (round trip) 🚌Sightseeing bus: 20 euros

Getting There - getting there was extremely easy. take a simple 3 hour flight from London. We flew with Air Malta and there are buses that go to every part of the country. plus a Ferry boat that crosses between Sliema and Valletta Attractions - main places to see is the island of Gozo and Crystal Caves. Such clear blue water Hotels - stay in any 5 star hotel, the infinity pools are beautiful Food & Restaurants - highly recommend Blue Elephant in the Hilton Malta in St Julian’s. Perfect spot for pictures Shopping - hit the high street in Valletta, you will not be disappointed! #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #malta #foodie

It is not difficult to spot olive trees while strolling the sidewalks of Valletta in the autumn. In fact, olive trees have a long history of existence in the island of Malta as they had been introduced by the Phoenician seafarers in the 1st millenium B.C. I was here in mid-October and it was just the beginning of autumn and the olives are still not too ripe. But soon, the olives will be ripe and scattered all over the ground. If you are in Malta during this time, you can certainly look out for olive picking experiences and sometimes they are for good cause too! #fallingforfall #malta #valletta #olivetrees

Beach spots on Malta that I visited while studying abroad. Malta is a small country, but it's a wonderful country surrounded by the sea and nature. Because it's a small country, you should be satisfied even with a short stay. 1. Comino Island The number one place you should definitely visit! ! The sea was so beautiful that I was moved. It never rains in the summer, so you can relax all day. 2. Golden Bay A place I often visited for school activities or with friends after school. A rare sandy beach in Malta, where there are many rocky beaches. 3. Popeye Village The location where the movie Popeye was filmed. As it was the setting for the movie, it's like a theme park. You can swim in the sea. Be careful of jellyfish. 4. Gozo Island A place you should visit together with Comino Island. This view no longer exists (the rocks collapsed a few years ago...), but you can go to the cave by boat and above all, the view is beautiful. Please visit. 6. Cafe Del Mar Malta I highly recommend this place!!! A beach club. It has a pool and a restaurant, and I get excited just thinking about it. It's a place you'll want to go to. Definitely go. #beachresort #studyabroad #beach #Malta #Europe #remoteislandtrip

Malta; previously part of the Great British empire with mediterranean vibes and beautiful winding streets, it's little wander why this beautiful small island nation isn't so famous outside of Europe. Although Game of Thrones has thrust it into the limelight, and Valletta making European city culture, this is a must go destination. #newphotographer#givethanks#awesomepic#historicculture#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

there is nothing we love more than travel 🤍 #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#thanksgiving#awesomepic#couplestrip

Malta is the navel of the Mediterranean, floating in the sea between Sicily and Libya. An ancient temple-building civilization, later Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Aragonese occupations all made some mark on Maltese culture and left an impressive collection of UNESCO-anointed sites. Malta has a church for every day of the year. In summer, you can’t avoid the festa. All Maltese towns and villages celebrate their patron saint in style with weeklong activities leading up to feast day, which climaxes with a procession, music, and fireworks. The most impressive fireworks displays are in the south of the island, where the villages of Żurrieq, Mqabba, Qrendi, Għaxaq, and Gudja compete fiercely. Santa Marija in August brings fireworks geeks from all over, because several feasts are celebrated simultaneously, naturally with fireworks befitting the occasion. #mynovgetaway

From the middle of October to the end of December, I’ve been to Malta. It was a wonderful place! Cosy coffee shops #thepastrypark and ice cream parlors. It was almost sunny days in spite of off-season. Also, it was safe and easy to walk around. #tripaway #sliema #malta #valletta #tripaway

Malta comino island blue lagoon blue reef blue lake blue lagoon is my favorite place in Malta, I love the blue, mint blue, I want to call her Malta blue. Malta has three blues and is also a must-have place. Blue window, blue hole, blue lake. This is the Blue Lake. The blue window was collapsed by the waves in 2017, so cherish the blue lake. Its like a palette that God overturned, and the beauty is suffocating. The whole seaside is a beautiful Miss Europe and the United States, everyone wearing a bikini, basking in the sun here, blowing the sea breeze. I can't hold the feast of the human body. Tour: By car to the pier to buy tickets, there are two kinds of tickets to buy. 1. Buy a yacht ticket for combo gozo, first go to comino, then take a photo here at blue lagoon. After playing, take a yacht to gozo, another island sightseeing. After sightseeing, come back by cruise. route and fare: malta-comino-gozo 14 ohms gozo-malta 4 ohms 2. Buying a round-trip ticket for comino and malta, just go straight to the blue lagoon and play after playing. Return directly to malta. route and fare: malta-comino-malta 14 ohms !! I personally recommend taking the first route, because both places are going by boat at the pier of Malta, and this place is too far from the city center, so it is best to visit the day. You don't have to come back later, arrange other places to play. So get up early, comino island is still worth spending some time to explore, the more you go inside, the better. Super suitable for making big movies.

Remember when I was young, I often started to eat spinach after watching the Popeye. After eating, I began to show off my weak biceps, and I said that I was a strong sailor. When I grew up, I found that the Popeye Village really existed, and it was in my heart of Malta. As a loyalty to the Popeye, this is definitely one of the places where you have to punch in!

Malta may be small, but it takes a long time to explore each of its three islands and six districts. Gozo Island is like a spider web, with Victoria City at its center and caves, temples, and beaches scattered around the island. Climb up to the Citadel and look down at the town below, and it feels like time has stopped. How to get there 💡? The cheapest way is to take a bus to Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal (Google Maps: 🎈Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal), then take a ferry to Gozo Island (30 mins). For the return journey, board the ferry at 🎈Mgarr Tourist Services. 💰You don't need to buy a ticket for the outbound journey, but you do need to buy a ticket for the return journey. Daytime tickets cost €4.65 (see the attached image for the timetable and prices). 💁Tips: ✨All buses from the Gozo ferry terminal go to Victoria City (20–30 mins). You can use a Malta bus card on the island. If you buy a single ticket, it is valid for 2 hours. If you time it right, you can use the same ticket to travel from the main island to Victoria City. ✨There are several attractions in Malta with "blue" in their name. The famous "Azure Window" that collapsed is on Gozo Island. The best time to visit is around 1–2 pm. I missed it because all buses need to transfer at Victoria City, and buses here only run every 20–30 mins. ✨I stayed in St. Julian's on the main island, so it was more convenient to go to Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal. If you are staying in Valletta, you can take a ferry from the main terminal. ✨Cirkewwa has yachts that go to Comino Island. Tickets cost €15 per person. You can take a round-trip to Comino Island or go to Comino Island and then Gozo Island. However, the ticket does not include the return journey from Gozo Island to Cirkewwa.

Wooow malta you have my heart

#voyagevibes When we booked our stay at Hugo’s Boutique Hotel in St. Julian’s Bay, we knew we were in for something special. With its rooftop bar, resident DJs, and cocktails that could rival any city hotspot, this adults-only retreat was nothing short of dreamy. It’s the perfect destination for friends or couples looking to mix relaxation with a touch of nightlife—though fair warning, the see-through bathroom door and ceiling mirror above the bed may make things a little… interesting! Hugo’s isn’t just a hotel; it’s an experience. By day, we soaked up the Maltese sun at the rooftop pool, cocktail in hand, as the resident DJs set the perfect chill vibe. By night, the energy ramped up with a lively crowd and stunning views of St. Julian’s Bay sparkling below. The cocktails? Impeccable. The vibe? Luxurious yet unpretentious. St. Julian’s Bay is a lively playground packed with bars and restaurants catering to every taste. From beachfront seafood to hidden gems serving Mediterranean classics, we were spoiled for choice. But we couldn’t help but notice the rather high concentration of gentlemen’s clubs dotting the area. While they didn’t detract from our trip, they’re definitely a unique part of the local scene. Still, the gorgeous weather, beautiful bay views, and vibrant nightlife made up for any eyebrow raises. We admittedly didn’t do much sightseeing—why leave Hugo’s rooftop, honestly? But for those craving culture, Malta offers plenty to explore. From ancient ruins to the bustling streets of Valletta and picturesque Blue Lagoon boat trips, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to dance the night away, relax by the pool, or explore Malta’s rich history, St. Julian’s Bay has it all. And if you’re staying at Hugo’s Boutique Hotel? Prepare for a chic, slightly cheeky getaway that you won’t soon forget. This trip was everything we hoped for: sunshine, cocktails, and the perfect mix of luxury and fun. If you’re planning a trip to Malta, make sure St. Julian’s Bay and Hugo’s are at the top of your list—you won’t regret it! We bagged this flight and hotel for 3 nights for £320 per person. Well worth it. #malta #rooftopbar #rooftoppool

Malta was definitely a great spot to celebrate my birthday. Since its in October, the weather is still warm and sunny. The views of Valleta and the prices were shocking. #bluelagoonmalta #sliema We were staying in Sliema, a very turistic area. I will definitely come back to this Island… I really had a great time there. If you’re planning to visit Malta; make sure you install Bolt; its very affordable.
