"2026 Malta Travel: Your Ultimate Budget Guide for Memorable Experiences!"
Ask this question in any Malta travel group or Reddit thread and you'll get answers ranging from €40 a day to well over €200. Both can be true — they just describe completely different trips. This guide cuts through the noise and gives you realistic daily and weekly spending ranges based on how most visitors actually travel: not extreme backpacking on a shoestring, but not blowing the budget on fine dining every night either.
Important framing before we start: this guide focuses on on-the-ground spending — food, transport, activities and drinks. Flights and accommodation are separate questions with their own wide ranges, so they're discussed only where relevant to context. All prices are approximate and in euros; Malta uses the euro.
Quick Answer – Daily and Weekly Budget at a Glance
Here's the TL;DR. These figures are per person, per day, and cover food, transport, activities and incidentals. They do not include accommodation or flights.
Budget traveller (careful spending, mostly local food and buses):
- Daily: approximately €35–55
- 7-day total: approximately €245–385
Mid-range traveller (mix of restaurants, some tours, occasional taxis):
- Daily: approximately €70–110
- 7-day total: approximately €490–770
Comfortable / higher-end traveller (good restaurants, more activities, taxis, maybe a car rental):
- Daily: approximately €120–180+
- 7-day total: approximately €840–1,260+
A few important notes:
- These are averages for typical days. A day with a boat trip will cost more than a day of walking and beach-hopping.
- Shoulder season (spring and autumn) generally sits in the lower half of these ranges; peak summer can push to the upper half.
- If you're including accommodation in your mental budget, add roughly €25–40/night for a hostel dorm, €80–150/night for a decent hotel, and €150–250+/night for something nicer.
