  • Gozo is not as small as it seems on the map. Rent a scooter and make the most of your day traveling around this beautiful island.
  • Take a ferry to Comino and explore the tiny island by yourself.

  • There are not many exchange houses in Malta. Take with you a credit card without foreign fee and avoid running out of cash.
  • Most locations in Valletta, Silema or St Julians offer free WiFi. Still, you can get a prepaid SIM card with 1GB internet at the airport for only 20 EUR.
  • If you spot the Coffee Circus bicycle, stop and have some coffee. It is probably the best coffee I’ve had on the island.

  • The ferry between Malta and Gozo starts operating at 5:00 and departs every 45 minutes until midnight.
