Frequently asked questions about lodges in Malta
Which attractions shouldn't be missed in Malta?
Malta boasts a wealth of attractions! For history buffs, the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Valletta's fortifications, the Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni (book tickets well in advance!), and the megalithic temples of Ġgantija on Gozo are essential. St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, with its Caravaggio masterpiece, is breathtaking. Beyond the historical sites, the picturesque Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua) offer stunning views and charming streets, while the Blue Grotto on the south coast is a natural wonder. Don't forget to explore Mdina, the silent city, for its medieval charm.
What parts of Malta are perfect for a week-long visit?
A week allows for a good exploration of both Malta and Gozo. Base yourself in Valletta for easy access to historical sites and museums. Spend a few days exploring the Three Cities and Mdina. Then, take a ferry to Gozo and explore Victoria (Rabat), the Citadel, and the Ġgantija temples. Consider renting a car for exploring the more remote areas and beaches.
What are the best lodges for families and kids in Malta?
Which parts of Malta are ideal for a weekend trip?
For a weekend, focus on Valletta and its surrounding areas. Explore the city's historical sites, enjoy the harbour views, and perhaps take a boat trip to the Three Cities. Alternatively, if you prefer a more relaxed pace, base yourself in a charming village like Marsaxlokk, known for its colourful fishing boats.
Are there any traditional greetings or practices in Malta?
A common greeting is 'Bonġu' (good morning/day) or 'Kif int?' (How are you?). It's also customary to greet shopkeepers and others you encounter. While not a formal practice, many Maltese people are very friendly and welcoming to tourists.
Are there any major festivals specific to Malta's heritage?
Malta hosts many festivals throughout the year. The most significant are probably the feast days of various saints, celebrated in different villages with processions and traditional food. These vary from village to village and from year to year, but are a significant part of Maltese culture. The Malta International Fireworks Festival is also a popular event.
What ride-hailing options, including Uber, are available in Malta?
Uber is not currently available in Malta. However, there are several local taxi services and ride-hailing apps like eCabs that operate throughout the islands.
What part of Malta is best for outdoor activities?
The south of Malta offers many options for outdoor activities. The dramatic coastline around the Blue Grotto is ideal for boat trips and swimming. The area around Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay are popular for swimming, sunbathing and watersports. Gozo also offers excellent opportunities for hiking and cycling.
