9 fun and useful things you didn’t know you must bring on your travel to Malta!

When we pack, we usually think of bringing our toothbrush, swimwear, chargers, laptop…

The list of essential things you wouldn’t survive without on your travel can be long.

But how about the things that will make your travel so much more fun? In this article, we list you 9 of them that are like a cherry on the cake!

Sun Charger

Are you coming to Malta to recharge your energy in the sun? So can your phone! When your phone’s battery is running low, don’t worry about finding a socket — just place your sun charger in the sun, pretty much anywhere! Malta has a lot of sun.

Fins

Malta is surrounded by water. Discover the mysteries hiding under the water surface… A snorkel and fins is a must-have!

Download an offline map

You need a map to properly discover Malta, make sure you don’t get lost and don’t miss anything! A physical map is good, but an offline map in your phone is even better. You you don’t need to be connected to the internet, and if your phone needs charging…use your sun charger!

Adapter

It’s a common thing to miss! Electrical sockets in Malta usually supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you’re plugging in an appliance that was built for 220–240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need.

Corkscrew

Always be prepared to spontaneously enjoy a bottle of fine wine.

Always.
