Malta

5-day guide to Malta and the island of Gozo

Some tipps for all the food lovers among you 😊

☕️La Valletta – Breakfast / Brunch – TRIBE

📍Grotta Blu. Take a short break. Get yourself a delicious ice cream and enjoy the view. Of course, you can also immerse yourself in the magical water world of the "Grotta Blu". With one of the small boats (there are countless providers here), you can sail into the most classic cave on Malta.

📍Ħaġar Qim and L-Imnajdra Temple. It's best to start early in the morning so that you can see the 🏛 temples in peace. There are two temples you can visit, to see one of which you have to walk about six hundred meters in the sun; it is smaller than the temple at Hagar Qim but is better preserved. Also there is a small museum where the history is explained. 

☕️Victoria – Breakfast / Brunch – CUP CAKE

Near Riviera Beach – Cocktails ans sunset – SINGITA MIRACLE BEACH

📍Golden Bay or 📍Riviera Beach in Mugiarro

One of the most beautiful villages in all of Malta, known for its colorful ships and the many restaurants on the harbor shore.

Start the day with a dip in the sea. St. Peter's Pool is known for its rock formations and clear 🌊 blue water. Here you can soak up the sun before continuing on to the capital.

Walking is by far the most comfortable way to experience Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage. Start your tour with a delicious brunch at TRIBE or dive straight into the historic city. Here are a few tips of what should definitely be on your list: The New Parliament, Pjazza Teatru Rjal, Our Lady of Victories Church, l-Berga ta' Kastilja, Cattedrale di San Giovanni - World Heritage Site, The Grand Master's Palace ... Or simply stroll through the old walls of this beautiful city.

A museum with geological history of the island, a small cave and bone remains. I recommend it to prehistory enthusiasts or with a guide who can explain the various discoveries well. 

The castle is really nice, its history fascinates you and from its top you have a fantastic view.

Golden Bay is definitely Malta's most popular 🏖 beach with golden sand. Perfect for enjoying some sun and watching the sunset. Immediately nearby you will find Riviera Beach with golden sand and a small bar to have a drink.

The island's ancient capital, it is a kind of 🏰 fortified citadel that over the centuries served to repel the assaults of foreign invaders. Inside you can visit the cathedral (cost €5), make the walkway on the outermost wall and stroll through the narrow streets inside.

Stroll through the streets of the old town and discover its history. 

Dwejra Bay is remembered for the natural arch that unfortunately collapsed a few years ago. Taking a short walk, you can admire the Fungus Rock, a rocky massif jutting out of the sea, and the magical colors of the 🌊 Blue Hole.

A spectacular coastal piece between what was created by nature and what was used by man all with a heavenly sea. The salt pans can be reached with a walk from Marsalforn recommended for the impressive views you can admire along the way.

A blue hole to dive into! Very beautiful, very unique. You dive off the rock into a very 🐙 deep sea. You can also swim in the open sea, where the blue is even more intense, or climb to the top of the rocks and enjoy the view.

The ancient Maltese capital is a well-kept fortified citadel with an Arabesque appearance and picturesque inner streets. I recommend a walk inside Mdina.

A very nice little town and perfect for a walk concluded with a good ☕️ coffee. A nice place to make the first stop.
