St. Julians Nightlife (Paceville) – Clubs You Can’t Miss
Activities & Experiences
An exciting way to explore Malta’s coastline. Jet ski experiences are available in areas like St. Julian’s, Sliema, and St. Paul’s Bay, offering both adrenaline and amazing sea views.
Jet Ski Along the Coast
A full or half-day boat trip that includes sea caves, swimming stops, and access to remote lagoons. Ideal for seeing multiple islands in one day.
Boat Trip to Comino & Gozo
Thanks to the clear water, Malta is excellent for snorkeling. Expect rocky seabeds, marine life, and calm waters during summer months.
Snorkeling in Comino & Gozo
This €10 boat trip to the Blue Grotto caves is honestly one of the best cheap experiences. The water color is unreal, you get super close to the caves, and it’s 100% worth doing if you’re nearby.
Blue Grotto 10,00EUR Boat Trip
Beaches & Natural Spots
Famous for its bright turquoise water and shallow swimming areas. One of the most beautiful places in Malta, especially when visited early in the day.
Blue Lagoon (Comino)
A hidden natural lagoon surrounded by rock formations. Less touristy and perfect for adventurous visitors and photography.
Coral Lagoon Malta
One of Malta’s best sandy beaches. Great for swimming, relaxing, and watching sunset. Easy access and suitable for a full beach day.
Golden Bay
The highest cliffs in Malta with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. A peaceful spot for walks and sunset watching.
Dingli Cliffs
A quieter and more natural beach near Golden Bay, reached by stairs. Known for its reddish sand, clear water, and stunning views. Perfect if you prefer a less crowded beach.
Għajn Tuffieħa Bay
A natural swimming pool surrounded by flat rocks, ideal for swimming and cliff jumping. Very popular with locals during summer and great for crystal-clear water.
St. Peter's Pool
A natural cave overlooking Ramla Bay, offering one of the most iconic views in Gozo. The cave frames the golden sandy beach and turquoise sea perfectly, making it a popular photo spot. Accessible by a short hike and best visited during daylight hours...
Tal-Mixta Cave: A Hidden Gem for Your Gozo Bucket List
A series of sea caves famous for intense blue water reflections. Best experienced by boat or viewed from above on a sunny day. One of Malta’s top natural landmarks. I suggest you to go to the viewpoint as well.
Blue Grotto
Cities & Sightseeing
Malta’s capital city, rich in history, architecture, cafés, and museums. Ideal for walking and discovering Maltese culture.
Valletta (The capital of Malta)
A medieval walled city with narrow streets and a quiet atmosphere. Especially beautiful in the evening and a must-visit for history lovers. Here were filmed parts of Game of Thrones.
Mdina (The Silent City)

Popular seafood restaurant serving fresh fish and Maltese cuisine. Located near the sea with a relaxed atmosphere.

Sotto Pinsa Romana Valletta
Famous for pastizzi, Malta’s most loved local snack. Very affordable (0.30 - 0.60 EUR one pastizzi), authentic, and always busy with locals. They are verry old and traditional. My FAVORITE.
