We gotchu.
Public holiday time! Kicking off the first on the calendar is the feast of St Paul, meaning we’ve got the day off! But what to do? If you’re stuck on how to fill your day today, here are some ideas!
1. Visit the capital
Usually, the capital is buzzing with activities to celebrate the feast day, but with the ongoing pandemic, mass events have been cancelled. You can still walk around the gorgeous streets and take in the history that Valletta boasts. And hey, if you stop for a coffee and a cheeky treat, we won't judge!
2. Check out a museum or historical site
This one’s for the culture vultures. With a day all to yourself, why not explore a new museum or historical site? There are countless ones to choose from, including temples, art museums and those showing off ancient artefacts.
3. Take a trip to Gozo
If it’s your first time here or you're a local seeking a relaxing time, why not take a trip to Malta’s sister isle? Whether it’s a day trip or an extended overnight stay, Gozo has so much to offer in any department, be it attractions, food and downright gorgeous views.
4. Catch up on your Netflix series
A public holiday is the perfect excuse to catch up on all your favourite series, curled up on the sofa with a nice cup of joe. And maybe order in if you get hungry? #Goals
5. Take a hike
The Maltese Islands have a lot to offer in the nature department. Take a hike through one of Malta’s popular spots, taking in that much-needed breath of fresh air!
6. Head to the silent city
Mdina is a beautiful place to head to, rich in history ready to be discovered and boasting incredible views of the island. Check out some filming spots used in Game of Thrones, grab a coffee and cake or just wander the quiet streets. Mdina won’t disappoint.
7. Catch up on that book
Read that book you’ve been meaning to pick up again! The public holiday is the perfect time to get more pages in. Who knows, maybe you’ll even manage to finish it.
8. Catch up with a friend
Whether it's someone you haven't seen in a while or your weekly dates with your bestie, head to your favourite foodie spot to catch up on the latest goss and life updates you've been meaning to share.
What will you be doing this public holiday?
