4. Tour an open-air Market
The Maltese love their markets such as the fish sale in Marsaxlokk. If you’re looking to purchase something on the cheap; be it food, clothes or equipment, make sure to head out to one of these markets to assure yourself a steal!
5. Grab some Maltese delicacies
Maltese cuisine is both savouring and economical. The delicious pastizzi can be bought for as little as 25c while a rabbit fiesta can go for as cheap as €15. Grab a taste of a Maltese delicacy and indulge in the food of the locals for a day.
6. Take a ferry ride from Valletta to Sliema

7. Visit a museum
Malta is full of history, we’re sure you’ve heard. Immerse yourself in the culture and visit one of Malta’s many museums. Entrances start from €3 and go up to €10. You could probably spend a day visiting museums back to back. Make sure to

8. Do a watersport
Don’t limit yourself to swimming next time you’re at the beach. Assemble a group of friends and do some watersport. Whether it’s canoeing or kayaking, the fun is assured.
9. Catch a movie
It can get hot in summer and what better place to cool down in than at a movie theatre, under the blazing AC? Movies in Malta are released in English; so fear not, the language barrier won’t be a problem. Tickets go as cheap as €3 for second-runs and €5.50 for new releases.
10. Visit a sister island
Malta’s archipelago hosts 26 islands, of which 3 are major. Board a ferry towards one of Malta’s sister islands, all for under a tenner! A round trip to Comino costs €10 while one for Gozo is €4.65, to be exact.
We’re super excited to carry out all of these activities ourselves, see you around!
