8 piani per Malta, da 3 a 20 GB. La validità va da 1 giorno a 30 giorni. 8 di questi vanno in 5G, dove la rete locale ce l'ha.
5 piani possono essere ricaricati senza installare una seconda eSIM. I piani si appoggiano a Vodafone, GO.
Numeri contati sul catalogo vero, non messi lì dal marketing: sono gli stessi piani che vedi elencati qui sopra.
In Malta non arriva nessun pacchetto regionale: qui l'unica opzione è il piano del singolo paese, che comunque di solito costa meno.
Un'eSIM di viaggio per Malta è una SIM digitale che il telefono si scarica: niente tessera di plastica, niente banco da cercare in aeroporto. Compri online, tocchi il link che ti arriva per email (nella stessa email c'è anche il QR) e sul telefono compare una seconda linea, accanto alla tua SIM di sempre. Resta ferma finché non arrivi in Malta, poi si aggancia da sola a Vodafone, GO su 5G dove c'è e LTE in tutto il resto. Il tuo numero continua a funzionare per chiamate e SMS: l'eSIM porta solo i giga.
Mappe, messaggi e app per i taxi consumano poco: circa 300–500 MB al giorno. Se ci aggiungi foto, social e qualche video sei vicino a 1 GB al giorno. Per una settimana un piano da 5 GB sta comodo; per due settimane, o se condividi l'hotspot e guardi video, meglio 10 GB o più, oppure un piano ricaricabile che puoi rimpolpare in viaggio. I piani per Malta partono da 4,80 € in 6 tagli, e su ognuno trovi il prezzo al GB: il confronto lo fai in due secondi.
No. Un'eSIM di viaggio per Malta è un piano dati locale, non roaming internazionale: paghi in anticipo il prezzo che vedi, senza nessun conteggio al megabyte da parte del tuo operatore. Imposta l'eSIM come linea dati e spegni il roaming dati sulla SIM di casa: al ritorno non trovi sorprese in bolletta. E fino a quando non la installi ti rimborsiamo tutto, quindi comprarla in anticipo non è un rischio.
Pastizzi
Diamond-shaped flaky pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas. The national snack, sold from hole-in-the-wall pastizzerias and eaten at any hour.
Pastizzerias anywhere; Rabat and Valletta both have well-known ones.
Rabbit stew
Fenek — rabbit slow-cooked in wine and garlic, the national dish, traditionally eaten as a shared family meal called a fenkata.
Mgarr and Bahrija are the villages associated with it.
Ftira
A ring-shaped sourdough flatbread, split and filled with tuna, olives, capers, tomato and Maltese oil. UNESCO-recognised as intangible cultural heritage.
Bakeries and kiosks across the islands.
Ġbejniet
Small sheep or goat cheeselets, eaten fresh, dried or peppered. Gozo's are the ones locals name.
Markets and Gozitan farm shops.
Lampuki
Dolphinfish, caught seasonally in late summer and autumn and baked in a pie with tomato, olives and capers.
Marsaxlokk and coastal restaurants, in season.
Bragioli
Beef olives — thin beef rolled around a stuffing of egg, bacon and breadcrumbs, braised in wine.
Traditional restaurants across Malta.
Kinnie
A bitter-orange soft drink made with wormwood, produced in Malta since the fifties and drunk everywhere. Distinctive rather than universally loved on first taste.
Any shop or bar.

Deep-fried date-filled pastry diamonds, sold hot from street carts.
Valletta city gate and festa stalls.
Aljotta
A fish broth with garlic, tomato, rice and plenty of lemon.

VallettaValletta
A fortified Baroque capital built by the Knights of St John, entirely UNESCO-listed and small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes.
a day
St John's Co-CathedralValletta
An austere exterior concealing an overwhelming Baroque interior, with Caravaggio's Beheading of Saint John the Baptist — the only work he signed.

MdinaMdina
The former capital, a walled hilltop town of a few hundred residents, silent after the day-trippers leave. Known as the Silent City.
half a day
Ħal Saflieni HypogeumPaola
An underground prehistoric burial complex cut into rock, older than the pyramids. Entry is strictly capped at a small number of visitors per day.
2 hours · prenota in anticipo
Ġgantija TemplesGozo
Megalithic temples among the oldest free-standing structures anywhere, predating Stonehenge by a considerable margin.
2 hours
Comino and the Blue LagoonComino
A near-uninhabited island between Malta and Gozo with famously clear water. Extremely crowded in peak summer; early or late is a different place.
half a day · prenota in anticipo
The Three CitiesBirgu, Senglea, Cospicua
Older than Valletta and far less visited, across the Grand Harbour, reached by a short traditional ferry crossing.
half a day
MarsaxlokkMarsaxlokk
A working fishing harbour full of painted luzzu boats, with a Sunday fish market that is genuinely a local event.
half a day
Dingli CliffsDingli
The highest point of the islands, with a straight drop to the sea and no development. The best sunset on Malta.
2 hours
GozoGozo
The second island, greener, slower and rural, reached by a frequent ferry. Worth an overnight rather than a rushed day trip.
two days
Public bus
A single network covers both main islands from Valletta and the Gozo terminal. Buses are free for residents and cheap for visitors with a Tallinja card, or payable on board by card. Routes radiate from hubs rather than connecting directly, so cross-island journeys often mean changing.
very low
Gozo ferry
Frequent crossings from Ċirkewwa taking about twenty-five minutes. Foot passengers and vehicles both. Payment is collected on the return leg from Gozo.
low
Car hire
Driving is on the left. Roads are narrow, parking in Valletta is difficult and the island is small, so a car helps for the countryside and the west coast more than for the towns.
moderate
Harbour ferry
Short crossings between Valletta, Sliema and the Three Cities. Far quicker than going around by road.
very low
Walking
Valletta, Mdina and the Three Cities are all small enough to cover entirely on foot, and the hills are the only obstacle.
free
App per i taxi
Bolt, eCabs
Both operate across Malta and are widely used. eCabs is the established local service; coverage extends to Gozo though with fewer cars.
