Overview
Malta is a moderately priced Mediterranean destination, generally more affordable than Western Europe but pricier than Eastern Europe. Accommodation and dining in popular areas like Valletta, St. Julian's, and Sliema tend to be the biggest cost drivers, especially during peak summer months. The island's small size and tourist-oriented economy keep prices competitive, though resort-area restaurants can charge a premium.
Notes
Use Malta's extensive and cheap public bus network instead of taxis to get around the island, and eat at local village restaurants or feast-day street food stalls away from the waterfront tourist strips to cut food costs significantly.
