Malta essentials

Cash vs card

EUR1.17 to £1

Euro

Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere — restaurants, shops, ride apps
Buses (Tallinja) take contactless or cash — a single is ~€2–2.50
Keep a few euros for white-taxi ranks and small kiosks; Bolt and eCabs also accept cash, Uber is card-only

Power

Type G · 230V

Tap water

Tap water is safe (reverse-osmosis desalinated, meets EU standards) but tastes strongly of chlorine/minerals — almost everyone, locals included, drinks bottled. Ice, teeth-brushing and cooking are all fine.

Tipping

Round up or 5–10%

~5–10% for good service; not obligatory.

Driving

Drive on the LEFT (ex-British). The island is small but roads are narrow, busy and parking is tight — many visitors skip the car and use Bolt/eCabs plus the ferries. On Gozo a hire car is more useful. Roundabouts go clockwise, give way to the right. Most hire cars are automatic.
