A small grocery store with the basics located in Bugibba. Why is it special? Prices. On the main streets you can expect to pay more than .40 more for items such as soft drinks or water. Here the prices are more at the level locals pay. They also do currency exchange and sell postcards.
This shop is amazing ! Its a massive discount shoe shop where on can buy loads cheap shoes. At the moment there is even an offer of when you buy one pair you get the second paid half price ! Also they always get new stock weekly ! There is also a shop like this in Sliema and Bugibba They have men's, kids and womens shoes. They also have bags and satchels for school. About Lm 8 but it depends as there always different offers.
A group of hangers which contain shops that produce the local crafts of Malta. Glassblowing, delicate sliver work, stone carving, crochet/knitted wool garnments, blankets, shawls etc. It gives you the opportunity to buy these souviners right from the source. mouthblown glass vases, sculptures, perfume bottles. Varies depending on size, quality and type of object but less than in stores in town
A small shop in Victoria which specializes in knitted and crocetted wool products. You can watch the women make the products which they are selling. Sweaters, shawls, table clothes, etc. Depends on the item you buy.
Open-air markets are held in the morning, usually, up til 12.00am and you will find one in Merchants Street Valletta everyday. Other markets however are held in other towns in Malta, but perhaps the largest is the one in Birgu, which is held every Tuesday. There is another good one in Mosta, on Mondays and then on Sundays, one in Valletta, in Rabat and there is also one in Marsaxlokk. You will find lots of bargains, clothes, shoes, food, books, antiques, souvenirs and lots of other items. Be careful of the fakes....
Shopping in Malta is colourful markets with fresh fish; quaint old shops in Valletta’s backstreets; and the latest continental fashions in shopping plazas.But more than anything, it is an excuse to stop off at a café and people gaze. 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.
I think that the best fashion shops in Malta are in Sliema, and here, at the Plaza Shopping Centre, the largest shopping centre in Malta, you can find many different shops all under one roof, besides restrooms, a Mc Donalds, a hairdresser and a Chinese Restaurant and a Coffee Shop as well. There is also an ATM at the entrance of Bizazza Street. Most shops in Sliema open at 9.30am - 1.00pm and re-open at 4.00pm, closing at 7.00pm.
The main streets of Valetta are crowded by fancy stores hugged from the sides by tourist shops that sell all sort of expensive things that it's expected toi bring home. Well you can buy designer clothing but it's not very cheap...you can buy souvenires..but again..it's not very cheap. Try the backstreets. The ones off of the main ones. They're beautiful, so even if you don't find anything to buy, you'll get to see some incredible buildings.
Kinnie was originally developed by Simonds Farsons Cisk in Malta in 1952, as an alternative to the innumerable cola. Kinnie is a unique tasting, alcohol-free, natural, refreshing beverage. Its golden amber colour, and the fact that it is made from bitter oranges and a variety of aromatic herbs, lend this beverage a bitter taste which is an excellent thirst quencher. 0.30-45c / bottle
Amongst other souvenirs, Malta has several glass producers. Most well known are Mdina Glass and Imtarfa Glass. Both can be found at the craft village of Ta Qali. All the workshops are housed in disused aircraft hangars and former military premises. Craftsmen and women can be seen busy at work throughout the many 'huts'. The glassblowers are always fascinating to watch, and the air-conditioned factories are now much cooler than I recall them being years ago! As well as a huge range of traditional and contemporary glassware, many types of craftware can be seen being made and sold here, including lace, pottery, silver filligree jewellery, ironwork, woodwork and leatherwork. Well worth a visit! All at reasonable prices, but look out for bargain 'seconds' in the glassware - some products are greatly reduced in price for very minor blemishes.
