Malta is a beautiful island country in the Mediterranean Sea, known for its stunning beaches, historic cities, and delicious food. It's also a great place to visit on a budget, as there are plenty of ways to save money while you're there.
Here are a few tips and tricks for a wallet-friendly summer holiday in Malta...
1
Cook your own meals
Eating out frequently can add up to your daily expenses and in the long run, it might not even be feasible for you.
There are plenty of supermarkets and markets where you can buy fresh ingredients and prepare some wholesome meals on your own.
2
Take advantage of free activities
Malta’s summers are characterised with a lot of activities and events.
While many are not free to attend, you will still be amazed by other events such as local festas, festivals and even some music events that take place for free across the Islands.
You can also opt to go to the sea to unwind under the Mediterranean sun.
3
Stay in a hostel or guest house
This is by far the cheapest way to stay in Malta.
There are plenty of great hostels and guesthouses to choose from, and you'll be sure to meet other budget-minded travelers.
4
Use public transport
Public transportation in Malta is cheap and for the most part, efficient, so there's no need to rent a car if you're on a budget.
Keep in mind to check for what kind of bus tickets you would be needing and also taking a look at the bus schedules.
5
Visit during off-peak season
Malta is a popular tourist destination, so prices are higher during the peak season (mainly between June and August).
If you're on a budget, consider visiting during the off-peak season such as in September or in May, when prices are usually lower.
