Electricity & Plugs in Malta
by globetrott
Electricity in Malta has 220 Volt, but the plug might be different from the one that you use in your homecountry and so it will be the best to take an adaptor-plug with you, because even the big hotels obviously dont have a single plug in the rooms for the ordinary plugs of Europe.
Charging your batteries etc. will only be possible when you have the right adaptor like in my photo
Football Scarves !!! Hundreds of them
by joanj
This small cozy bar tucked away in Tigne Street, has Sky TV and screens the football matches, as well as other sports. they have two tv screens.
The collection of football scarves has to be seen. These are given by supporters frequenting the bar, and I am told there over 400 of them and he said he has the collection of the 4 English Divisions.
Cisk beer is 50c. a bottle, and he does serve snacks.
I put this under Sports activity, and though strictly not an activity, football fans would find it a talking point.
Loads of Ducks in a City !
by Elly01
Take a walk along the Sliema promenade all the way to Manoel Island which is an island adjacent to Sliema/Gzira by means of a bridge. There you will find what is called 'Duck's Village'. This 'small' village is at the edge of the sea and consists of little huts and stone bricked little houses which host many duck families. One can see many different species of ducks. Even though the place looks a bit dirty but I think its quite well kept and the ducks seem to have plenty of food. I think it was placed in a very adapt place as no one lives on Manoel Island so no one can complain about the dirt of the ducks !
Whenever I am passing by there, it seems this place is very much visited and appreciated by little children and adults :-)
Balluta Buildings
by Elly01
Balluta Buildings are one of the few eldest buildings in St.Julians/Sliema. Unfortunitly don't know alot about them however people still live in them today and the architectural style that was used to build them is so amazing. If you go close to them one can realise the great detail the architect used to build them.
Karozzin
by Incubus30
These horse drawn carriages are an attraction for tourists. The owners/cab drivers will guide you through the best area of the city giving you a good narration.
These carriages (karozzini in maltese) can be found in other parts of the maltese islands.
