Malta

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Malta is a small Mediterranean archipelago south of Sicily, made up of three inhabited islands — Malta, Gozo, and Comino — with a history shaped by Phoenicians, Romans, Knights of St. John, and the British Empire. The capital Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is packed with Baroque architecture, fortifications, and some of Europe's oldest temples. The islands are renowned for crystal-clear waters and world-class diving, particularly around the Blue Hole and the famous Blue Lagoon of Comino. Travellers are also drawn to Malta's lively nightlife in St. Julian's, its rich cultural festivals, and its compact size that makes island-hopping easy.

Self-Launched Malta: 6 Days of History, Culture & Island Escapes

Explore Malta independently and experience everything the commercial tour offers — Valletta's jaw-dropping Baroque architecture, the electric Blue Lagoon on Comino, the ancient temples of Gozo, and the dramatic Three Cities — at a fraction of the guided price. Malta is one of Europe's most walkable and well-connected destinations, with cheap public buses linking almost everywhere on the island. Swap the 4-star hotel for a well-reviewed boutique guesthouse or budget hotel in Sliema or St Julian's, book your own walking tours via GetYourGuide, and hop on Malta's iconic yellow buses or the Gozo ferry. These are estimated costs — your actual spend will vary depending on how many optional excursions you add.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Malta yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
