Malta » Shopping in Valletta

Shopping in Malta is colourful, markets with fresh fish; quaint old shops in Valletta's back streets; and the latest continental fashions in shopping plazas. But more than anything, it is an excuse to stop off at a café. Shopping is a cultural window on the Islands too. You'll find plenty of tempting must-buys to take home.

For a taste of the Mediterranean, choose among the many local deli treats from olives and sun-dried tomatoes to fine wines. If you want something to appreciate for longer, try the intricate, filigree silverware or a work from one of the Islands' renowned artists.
