Available for hire
Malta has quickly become one of my all-time favorite European destinations! It has so much to offer: great food, unique architecture, fascinating history, and some of the best water I’ve ever seen.
This guide has everything you need for a week or more in Malta: a full Valletta city guide, the best beaches all over the island, how to day trip the island, and tips for getting to Gozo, Malta's other island!
In this guide, you'll get:
- the best Valletta spots to see, and how to see them (either guided or solo)
- how to get around without renting a car
- the best way to get across the harbor (it's not the ferry)
- 10 restaurants, 8 bars & 3 coffee/breakfast options
- 6 hotels in the Valletta area & 3 on Gozo
- how to explore the Three Cities in an afternoon
- 4 day trips, including enough beaches to keep you happy for a week!

Malta has SUCH a unique history, which makes visiting it fascinating! Even if you're not a history buff, the mix of cultures coming together creates a swirl you see at every turn!

Know Before You Go
💶Malta is part of the EU and uses Euro! Most places take credit card, but cash is good for quick coffees or street food.
🚌The public bus system is reliable but slow. Routes tend to go out from Valletta, meaning it's not simple to combine locations for a multi-stop day trip. Ubers & taxis are reasonably priced, so check prices if you need to get around the island. Within Valletta, you can walk everywhere, so you may not need this on a weekend trip.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma | Where's Emma Now

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
