Isle of MTV, Malta
See A Concert
Historically, Malta attracted the prevailing super-powers of every empire and nation to exploit the island’s position of strategic importance. Today it acts like a giant magnet, attracting leading musicians of all types. From rock groups, jazz legends, chart-topping singers and trendy DJs to operatic singers, orchestras and choirs from the four corners of the world … they’re all drawn here.   What used to be a central military stronghold is today a major beacon for music-lovers, who either happen to be...

Sliema Ferry To Valletta
:   28  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Every year, around half a million people have the enviable privilege of arriving at Malta's historic capital city of Valletta by boat, or on one of those enormous cruise ships to be precise. Travelling to the city by boat is surely the best, most romantic, historic and picturesque way of winding up in this wonderful city -  and thanks to the Sliema Ferry, it’s attainable for everyone, even mere mortals like me.   The route runs from Sliema Strand, the...

Watch A Rugby Match
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

It’s quite difficult to get people to try rugby. Once they’ve seen a few crunching tackles not to mention how the scrum is put together, that’s normally enough to put anyone off. It’s largely to do with the excrutiating pain and where the second row forwards put their hands to bind on to the props, that’s more than enough to make your eyes water! (It’s between their legs and hanging on to the front of their shorts!)   With that being...

Watch Glass Blowing
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Witnessing highly-skilled crafts people often makes you wonder about the learning process involved to arrive at the level of competence on display. How many bent pieces of metal are thrown away before a blacksmith makes a perfect horseshoe? How many lumps of clay fly off the wheel on the way to creating a fine china vase? And how many globs of glass are removed from the end of a pipe before a glass blower creates something worthy of selling in a shop?   The art of glass...

Take A Pleasure Cruise
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you read through the many wonderful descriptions of the things to do on this site you’ll notice that on more than one occasion we tell you to get in a boat. This is not because we have shares in them, well not all of them anyway, but more to do with the fact that it would be a crying shame not to experience the Maltese islands from the sea.   So here’s another attempt to get you on-board, this time on a pleasure cruise to see the sights from atop the...

Go Sport Fishing
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

The Mediterranean is a major blessing for Malta as it provides a monster-sized leisure and activity centre right on everyone’s doorstep. There are countless activities to be done on top of the water but in this case we’re concentrating on what’s lurks below the surface. Specifically – fish!   This area is home to thousands of exciting species of fishy friends – big and small. As with all anglers, it’s the big ones we’re interested...

Watch Powerboat Racing
:   28  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you like speed, thrills and excitement and feel the need to infuse your holidays with a healthy adrenaline rush, then you’ll get a strong dose of all of the above if you check out a powerboat race in Malta.   The pristine and calm seas that surround the island make an ideal racetrack for these high-powered turbo-charged machines to plough around.  For this reason, the Maltese Grand Prix of the Sea has become a popular feature of the Powerboat P1...

Relax At A Lido
:   29  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Take a short moment to watch someone, anyone, other than an Olympic standard swimmer, sploshing and splashing their way through the water and it soon becomes abundantly clear that we are a species designed primarily for land use. And yet, in spite of being a mammal with an innate inability to cope in water – when compared to a dolphin, for example - there’s something about the sea that entices us and draws us to it.   I like nothing more than watching waves...

Go Wreck-diving
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

When faced with things of extreme beauty, you seek consolation by imagining they surely must come with some flaws. It’s a bit like thinking Brad Pitt must have smelly feet, or that Scarlett Johansson farts in bed. By the same token, other islands must look at Malta's coast and say: “OK, on the surface you’ve got it going on but what’s hidden beneath those crystal clear azure waters?”   Bad news other islands! Lift up Malta’s outer...

Go To A Casino
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

We’ve all seen James Bond in Casino Royale, haven’t we? Well, forget that, because there’s a fair chance that if you ever go to a casino then you won’t be in a designer tuxedo, placing million pound bets while drinking Martinis – shaken not stirred – and you almost certainly won't have the delectable Eva Green on your arm.   Then again, you’ll probably have much more fun than Mr Bond, who got drugged by some evil super-villain...

Ride A Dghajsa!
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you go to Malta, you’d be a fool not to visit Valletta . And if you go to Valletta, you’d be a fool not to go and see the Grand Harbour. And if you go to the Grand Harbour, you’d be a fool not to see it from the water. So don’t be a fool and get yourself on the water a Maltese water taxi – ride a dghajsa!   There’s no doubt that, in the absence of your own helicopter, a boat is the form of transport that provides the best possible...

Run The Malta Marathon
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

To many generally sane people, the thought of running around the streets for a distance exceeding 26 miles is as preposterous as, well … being asked to run around the streets for 25 miles. The question is: “Why would I want to do that when there are modern inventions like cars, taxis, buses … even the humble bicycle?”   Well, the answer is that some less sane people actually enjoy running a set course over very large pre-determined distances, or...

Learn Maltese
:   26  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

On landing in Malta you would be forgiven if you thought English was the official language on the Island. All the signs and directions are in English, ask the airport staff a question and they’ll answer you in English and the customs people will check your passport and talk to you in English.   Then, walk a few minutes away from the ‘Nothing to declare’ sign, you start hearing the locals talking in ‘foreign’. “Hang on a minute,”...

Manoel Theatre
:   22  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you’ve been researching Malta for anything more than about 15 seconds, you’ll know the island is steeped in history. From pre-historic temples, through the Knights of St John to wartime alliances with the British and subsequent independence, its past is extremely colourful. So, it stands to reason that the story of Malta’s national theatre was never going to be dull!   Damn right! The Manoel Theatre, as it is properly known, is reputed to be the...

Learn To Swim
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Most Maltese people start swimming at a very early age, often being the unsuspecting victims of a proud father's sudden impulse to push them into the water and then jovially expect them to float.   If they don't, he is always there to jump in and show them the technique he learned, very much in the same way, from his own father. Things, however, have changed considerably over the years.   Tradition has more or less given way to organised swimming...

Get Your Teeth Fixed
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Have you ever wondered why people frown when you laugh? There are hundreds of potential reasons why this could happen of course, but one of the most common ones is bad teeth!   They may be yellow from too many cigarettes or dulled by too much coffee, or they may be more twisted than a World Cup venue selection panel. But fear not, for help is at hand on this sunny isle called Malta!   If you are blessed with a set of pearly whites that look like a row of...

Visit A Gay Bar
:   28  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

A stoic island stronghold of Roman Catholicism might not seem like an ideal candidate for gay tourism. So you may be surprised to learn that if you are gay, then you can still have the time of your life here in Malta.   Just because it’s frowned upon by the church, doesn’t mean it isn’t tolerated. The Maltese are a fairly accepting and pragmatic bunch and the local gay culture has been steadily on the rise. As a result, homosexuality is no longer the...

Honeymoon In Malta
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

So you’ve just tied the knot with the love of your life and blown the deposit for a decent-sized property on the wedding, rather than on a decent-sized property. Now it’s time for the honeymoon!   So get out your chequebook and your checklist: sun, sea, beaches, good food, lively nightlife, plenty of sights and somewhere great to stay. Now where might you find all that I wonder?   Hello! Why Malta, of course! With its top class hotels and...

Ride In A Karozzin
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

In these days, when internal combustion engine is king, the only people who tend to get an opportunity to ride in a horse-drawn carriage are brides and royalty … or royal brides! Not in Malta! Anyone can have a dash at travelling in the most serene form possible and practice dishing out some regal waves to the passing pedestrians.   This is possible thanks to the widespread use, for tourists, of the traditional Maltese horsedrawn carriage – the karozzin. This...

Go Snorkelling
:   20  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

There’s something magnetic about a TV screen. Wander into a bar or any room that has a TV on and you’ll find yourself unable to take you’re your eyes off it. There could be any old rubbish on there but you still watch. The only thing that comes close to having the draw of a TV is a fish tank … because there’s something fascinating about fish!   We defy anyone to wander past a fish tank without having to have a peek inside and see...

A Day At A Beach Club
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

For many people, an ideal holiday simply consists of of fun, sun and sea. If those three things float your boat then Malta is definitely for you … and once you discover some of the excellent beach clubs on the island you might very well explode with joy.   The most boring job on Malta has to be a weather forecaster. The job description has two main key skills listed on it: Ability to look good and say “It’s going to be hot and sunny …...

Learn To Water Ski
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Think Malta and you almost immediately and inevitably think sea! Think sea and you think fun! And there’s not much more fun to be had on the sea than by lashing a pair of planks to your feet and being dragged along the surface of the water behind a speedboat - or by water skiing, as I believe it’s more popularly known.   Waterskiing is often close to, if not on top of most people's ‘wannado’ list. And since the waters around the Maltese islands...

Go Clubbing
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If throwing some sick shapes to a pumping onslaught of banging tunes is your kind of thing, then you’ll be in your element in Malta. Boasting an outstanding club culture, Malta possesses an impressive array of top-rated clubs as well as an ever-growing list of noteworthy DJs and music producers.   Additionally, some of the world’s finest DJs like David Guetta, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, and Tiësto have more recently started to host regular large-scale...

Get A Tattoo!
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

When I was a teenager there was a young chap who drank in the same local bar as me who had a tattoo of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on his upper arm. Donatello, I think it was! It was cool for a minute and vaguely amusing for a week or two but then you got thinking how he’d feel about it when he turned 70?   In that particular case, the tattooed party was far from the sharpest knife in the box and he was happy with his lot! But the point here is that his turtle...

Play Golf
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you’ve not been initiated to the mystical ways of golf then take this as a serious warning. Before you consider a trip to the course you should know that it is the most addictive and infuriating activity in the world.   OK, so there’s taking drugs like heroin and cocaine but with a spot of cold turkey and immense determination you can kick those habits. Once golf has you in its grasp though, it has you for life!   Hopelessly addicted...

Gentlemen's Clubs
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

If you’re high flying businessman speeding along life’s fast lane, accelerating your career prospects, and making the big bucks, every now and again you’ll need to kick back, take your mind off things and relax a little. Alternatively, you might just feel the need to stare at some attractive young ladies in their bra and knickers!   The Gentlemen’s Club is a fairly recent addition to the long list of attractions available for visitors to...

See A Concert
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Historically, Malta attracted the prevailing super-powers of every empire and nation to exploit the island’s position of strategic importance. Today it acts like a giant magnet, attracting leading musicians of all types. From rock groups, jazz legends, chart-topping singers and trendy DJs to operatic singers, orchestras and choirs from the four corners of the world … they’re all drawn here.   What used to be a central military stronghold is today a...

Watch Lace-making
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Like every human being, Queen Victoria had her good moods and her bad ones. The monarch famed for her stiff upper lip, who was frequently and famously ‘not amused’, was not an easy one to please. However, if you did want to get her grinning like Angelina Jolie’s spray tan man then you had only to present her with some fine Maltese lace!   The story goes that she once received an example of the intricate piece of handcrafted fabric as a gift. It was among...

Rent A Quad Bike
:   29  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

People often want to do different things when they are away on holiday. Things they would not normally do in the humdrum of everyday life back home. Things like parachuting and bungee-jumping! But what if you’re afraid of heights? Well, there are always the safer options of water-skiing and coastal diving. But what if you’re afraid of depths too?   If you’re not keen on heights or depths but are OK with widths then you could do much worse than rent...

Shop For Souvenirs
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Being asked to describe souvenir shopping in Malta is a bit like being asked to paint a naked Jessica Alba with melted chocolate. You know you need to get on and do it but you’re just not sure where would be the best place to start! Souvenir shops are to Malta what fast food joints are to America. There are tons of them and they are, quite literally, all over the place!   The main thing to keep in mind when carrying out both of the above activities is not to rush...

Watch A Water Polo Match
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

On a small island where a blindfolded staggering drunk would inevitably fall into the sea given a few hours, provided he didn’t pass out first, you’d be right to assume watersports are major part of everyday life. And the fairly niche activity of water polo is one of those practised regularly here and with serious and genuine passion.   For those who have never seen water polo it’s much like normal polo … only there are no horses … or...

Rent A Car
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

When I first arrived in Malta, some … ooh 20 years ago now, one of the locals told me the answer given to those tourists who, when picking up hire cars, asked if they should drive on the left or right hand side of the road was: “Neither. We drive in the shade!”   It’s a quaint little anecdote that may make you smile and did me too until I spent some time on the roads and realised that there was actually quite a bit of truth in it – though...

Rent A Motorbike
:   21  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

Winter or summer, rain or shine, (and let’s face it it’s going to be shine for the most part) the best way of seeing Malta is without the hassle of parking and traffic jams. This is easily achieved if you opt for two wheels instead of four to make your way around the islands.   A hired motor bike can get you anywhere within a period of no more than thirty minutes - the beach, the countryside, the popular bays, the hotels and restaurants, the capital city of...

Learn To Windsurf
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

At certain times, Malta is a windsurfer's dream. The compact size of the island means that when you can't find ideal winds at one place, you can hop back in the car and be on the other side of the island where conditions might be more favourable in a matter of minutes.   It’s also ideal for learners for a couple of very simple reasons. Firstly, the weather - because you will fall off frequently while you are trying to discover your sea legs and that’s...

Go Horse-riding
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

It was Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, who described a horse as ‘dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle’. But for those of you who do not subscribe to the author's point of view and love nothing more than a little equine exercise, then there are ample opportunities to leap astride a trusty steed in Malta.   The island has a huge heritage of all things horsey and you don’t have to look any further than the tales of the Knights...

Go Karting
:   6  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

What have Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel all got in common? Now, the obvious answer is that they have all won the Formula 1 World Championship. The less obvious but equally correct answer is that they all started their competitive driving careers in go-karts.   There’s something extremely exhilarating about thrashing a kart around a twisty track, feeling the thing drift around the corners with your backside just a few...

Watch Maltese Football
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

It is no great secret that the world’s oldest football league is in the UK, as is the world’s oldest football league club, Notts County. What most people don’t know is that, due largely to its strong British links; Maltese football was not so far behind.   Though there is no clear record, it is widely accepted the game was introduced by the thousands of British sailors and soldiers, who were stationed on the island during the late 19th and early 20th...

Learn To Fly
:   27  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

The battles in the skies above Britain and Malta are among the most historic and lauded episodes in the history of the Second World War. They represent a time when small groups of brave young men fought against all the odds - and won!   Those were days when skill still held the upper hand over technology and a visit to the museums commemorating the two battles is both an emotional experience and starts your mind racing. Wouldn’t it be great to fly?  ...

Sandy Beaches
:   25  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

There is a school of thought followed by some people, myself included, that you have to be vaguely masochistic (or mad) if you are willing to entertain the thought of going to a sandy beach for fun! For we all know that no matter how hard you wash and scrub, those abrasive, grating grains of hell will be coming out of every part of your body for days afterwards!   It’s a bit like saying that taking a sheet of sandpaper to your bum crack is fun, or rubbing a rasp...

Learn To Sail
:   26  2012 in Things to Do in Malta

There are, in life, certain hobbies and activities with an ability to take over your life to the point of fanatical obsession. Golf can grab you so you practice your swing every time you nip to the loo at work. Climbing can become a genuine passion for those who like hugging rocks, while cycling can seduce you into its inescapable grasp. But up there with the most addictive hobbies of all is sailing!   While to some, sailing is an all-consuming and great hobby, others see...
