Money Tips: Euro is the official currency. VISA and Master cards are widely accepted, even for taxis. Cash is needed but not too much. ATMs are all over the country, but there is a handling fee for withdrawals.
  • 1-2 Days
    For culture buffs, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, Barrakka Gardens, the Three Cities, Hagar Qim Temple, Mdina, and Marsaxlokk Fishing Village are must-sees. For natural explorers, Blue Grotto, Dingli Cliffs and Gozo Island are highly recommended.
  • 3-4 Days
    Common duration for classic Malta tour packages. Spend 2 days exploring the history, culture, and architecture of Valletta, Mdina, and Rabat, and then 1 or 2 days reveling in the gorgeous south coastline or the pristine Gozo Island in the north.
  • 5 Days or More
    A 5 or 6 days’ panoramic Malta trip allows you to go beyond main attractions. Dedicate time to immersive experiences like delving deep into medieval towns, savoring local seafood, or taking a traditional Dghajsa boat. For longer stays, consider adding Sicily or other parts of Italy.
