Malta What to Expect

Cara's Cafe

Fantastic low-key cafe with cheap but delicious ftiras and baguette sandwiches, often under 3 euros. Also a wide variety of cakes, pies, and chocolate drinks (a thick cocoa, like Spanish chocolate a la taza ). Frequented by tourists and locals alike. Informal enough for children. Open all day.

The silent city, as it's also known, is an amazing place where you really can step back to days gone by. The narrow streets are haunting and enchanting, with the quintessential Maltese architecture some of the best you'll see. The parish church is brilliant, and there are quite a few good museums and galleries too. Best of all is the view from the walls of the city; once the capital of Malta due to its altitude, you really can see everywhere on the island from here. Mdina is a very beautiful city indeed!

There's a great monostary there..its beautiful..you can see loads of the island by hiring a jeep or bikes.

A coffee down the front overlooking Valletta a must

Send Photo to a Friend Only a rocky headland until a few years ago, Bugibba is today one of the most popular summer resorts located in the northern part of Malta Island. Bugibba offers many accommodation possibilities and is ideal for sunbathing and enjoying the views across St. Paul's Bay.

Melleiah,gorgeous place full of life, there are some pretty big boats there too. Food night life are o.k , weathers excellent and most speak English anyway .Malta's a small Island anyway so getting around is pretty easy although they do like to play chicken when driving, and don't beleive in right of way or manners (They do however drive on our side of road)

The beaches at St Pauls Bay are awesome. But be careful if you go there in the early afternoon hours. That's when the sun shines the brightest and because of the cool breeze you might not notice the heat. Always wear something on your head to avoid sunstroke, and remember the sunlotion. No one wants skincancer.

Mdina Glass is the place to start off with as you can see glass production and get some of the finest glass in Malta at a good price. Then head off towards the carfts villag. Actually its just a bunch of shops of local produced things. In Ta qali there is a ig convention centre where big parties/ trades and international exhebitions are held, but if there is nthing planned no use to go. Rather then nightlife, its more about big parties orgnised from time to time. Its one of the few oparks in Malta, but if you want a nicer space to relex in the afternoon, worth having a 7 minute drive and go to buskett gardens. In ta qali there is also the national stadium. interesting to see the national team, floriana, valletta or birkara teams playing. though in malta footbaal is not full time, so the best teams are definaty not found in Malta, Maltese people are really fond and its worth going for a match to pump your adrenaline. I suggest that after ta qali mdina glass and crafts village, you head towards Mdina, the silent city, enjoy th famous chocolate cake from fontanella, go to rabat to meet locals and head to buskett gardens for a relaxing afternoon. enoy and visit malta soon:)

Walk around the narrow streets of this magical city. Always cover your head in summer. Go and see the wonderful views of the see from the ciy walls. Visit the museum of the Knights of Malta. Sit in one of the square and have a relaxed coffee...
