The unique charm of Gozo, Malta’s sister island, is not to be missed. Gozo is the place where you can feel completely at home among the locals who welcome you with open arms. Experience the authentic lifestyle on an island where tourism does not yet have too much grip on daily life.
Local Lifestyle
Are you in for unique circumstances? On Gozo you have ‘traffic jams’ where you often find yourself waiting behind a tractor loaded with hay bales. Sometimes you’re also unlucky enough to be behind a shepherd and have to be careful not to run over a sheep or goat that shamelessly circle around you. It takes a while to arrive at your destination!
Although renting a car on the island is practical, it doesn’t really fit the lifestyle there. You’re better off experiencing the island in a more active way through Malta tours, or by renting a bike or scooter. Boat trips from Malta to Gozo offer opportunities to explore clear bays, perfect for snorkelling enthusiasts.
Music Events
If you are staying in one of the farmhouses on the island, be sure to seek out the music venues at night. There are jam sessions on the beach where locals gather and jam ahead as the sun sets. Anyone with an instrument can join in. Including you!
You have a beautiful voice, you can join in! No Malta tours can prepare you for such a local experience. These small spontaneous music events are organized around local food trucks where you can eat delicious food while the music plays and the sky turns orange! Not to be missed!
In the mood for more live music? Head to the popular bars and discover that at least four times a week there is a local band that turns the bar into a dance floor. And if you don’t find those bands in the bars, you’ll find them in the piazzas in front of the churches that are fairy lit. It promises a unique experience, a memory you will never forget!
Gozo for Culture lovers
For culture lovers, this island is everything you could wish for. There are adventure tours to discover hidden treasures that you can do with Jeeps or Quads. But guided tours are also highly recommended, as these Malta tours will teach you all about Gozo’s past! Gozo has a rich history!
Explore caves where ancient legends unfolded. See the historic Citadella where you go back hundreds of years and find small local wine bars where you can try authentic Gozo food and drink local wines. Admire the view from the walls there! You will be amazed!
Sightseeing in Malta
A visit to Gozo should be part of your sightseeing in Malta. Do it the way you feel most comfortable, on double-decker buses, with Malta boat tours, or do it the adventurous way. But either way, make sure you don’t skip this island!
