Malta

Shopping in Malta

  1. A

    Gio Batta Delia

    Behind a photogenic façade close to City Gate, this browse-worthy store sells the big names in fine chinaware and glass (eg Wedgewood, Meissen) alongside more Malta-specific treasures such as prints, pottery and old lace.

  2. Triq ir-Repubblika

    There are small shopping centres, souvenir shops and a range of UK high-street fashion labels all along or just off Triq ir-Repubblika , but little of interest to visitors looking for a purchase that's uniquely Maltese.

    Blush & Panic

    This is a gorgeous clothes shop selling exquisite vintage and vintage-inspired clothes, as well as wonderfully unusual pieces of costume jewellery. These are beautiful quality items – there's no musty second-hand feel here. It's mainly womenswear, but they stock some select menswear.
