Voice of Travelers to Malta/ Maltese

Beautiful Malta

I have such fond memories of my trip to Malta; I was so excited after I bought my ticket! I visited the capital of Malta, Valetta. It was easy to travel around by bus, and my ticket was very cheap. The hotel was beautiful and had lovely staff, and they even helped me buy my transport ticket. I visited another area of Malta, known as Dingli Cliffs; it was very windy there though. I’d recommend including that on your trip to Malta, and be sure to visit the Florianna Café. Another historical site that’s famous in Malta is the grotto of St Paul – you do have to buy a ticket but it’s reasonably priced. I also took the ferry from Silema to Valetta – the ticket wasn’t expensive, but there is one price of ticket for tourists and a much cheaper ticket for locals.

Wine and Dine but watch out for the Malta sun

I had a fabulous time on my trip to Malta, and the food there was fantastic. All the restaurant staff were friendly throughout Malta and helped me with the menus. I noted that the restaurants were filled at lunchtime but in the evenings the crowds were much smaller. I attributed this to the cruise ships frequenting the Malta islands: I’m glad I flew to Malta as I spoke to some people from the ships, and they said that their ticket was much more expensive than mine. One tip - do not be fooled by the cool sea breezes, the sun is very hot! I also took a ferry to Comino to swim on the beaches – I couldn’t believe how cheap the ferry ticket was. I did notice that there were a lot of expats there from different countries, and I was so jealous that they’d just bought a one-way ticket to set up their new lives in Malta.

The rich culture of Malta

All of the cities in Malta are rich in culture and have several attractions. Sliema is the best place to shop for traditional goods from Malta. The hotels here are quite good and the ticket for public transport is cheaper than other parts of Malta. On your way to Saint Julian's there are nice places to dine that overlook the sea. Valletta also has lovely hotels, and the town is an international heritage site (therefore some places require a ticket to visit). Do not leave Malta without visiting Mdina. This town and Rabat are both full of amazing tourist attractions: a bus ticket to travel there is cheap. Entry to the churches and museums in these Malta cities are free and do not need a ticket. There are also several excellent restaurants, like Xara.
