Can you explore GOZO in just one day? MALTA revealed

Join us on a day trip to Gozo! We jump on a City Sightseeing boat from Sliema and enjoy the beautiful views as we travel north.

Then it’s straight onto a Hop On Hop Off bus and head to Victoria. We only had 45 minutes so, sadly, we didn’t get to explore the Cittadelle but we did grab some delicious pastizzis for our lunch. Two for only 1 euro!

Back on the bus and we’re off to The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu (or in Maltese: Santwarju Bażilika tal-Madonna ta' Pinu) Utterly stunning! And it’s always great to make a new grasshopper friend!

Our final stop is the Ġgantija Archaeological Park, situated at the centre of an extraordinary archaeological landscape, the Xagħra plateau on the island of Gozo. It consists of two structures built between c.3600 and c.3200 BC. Fascinating! It’s amazing to think that these structures are even older than the Pyramids in Eqypt!

Then it’s a quick dash back to Mġarr to catch the boat back to Malta. We really enjoyed our brief time on Gozo. Did we have enough time? Definitely not. Will we return? Absolutely!

Enjoyed this a lot … It’s fascinating to see what others do when faced with a similar challenge… that being what to do with a few hours in such a wonderful place. Lots we recognise and lots we don’t… You guys had a great day here and you also got to Ggantija too…just a little bit jealous !….Thx for this Guys

What a beautiful place. We too love a boat trip!! Oh my that water!!! We want to jump in!! The hoho bus seems a good choice. Those Pastizzi look amazing and great value! Those mosaics are amazing. Love the bus through the narrow streets. What a brilliant trip and thanks for some history along the way too. Cheers 🍻

The ggantija temples are acutely one thousand years older than the pyramids in Giza, we will be in Gozo again in July thanks for sharing.

What a great island but feel your time pressures - open bus looked great though to re energise

Thanks for showing us Gozo. We didn’t make it there when we visited Malta. You packed a lot into your day. Such interesting history 🙂

Yes you can do a very relaxed tour of Gozo in a day. Before the covid pandemic I did it each year, by hiring an ebike in Victoria and taking the guided tour of the island.

One day is a good start but to do justice to a beautiful island i suggest a week is a better idea.

Question. Are the time restraints so tight that only 40 minutes can spared for exploring Victoria, which seems a pity? Could you give an outline your start and finish times on the HoHo bus and would you feel 3x40 minute stops is the limit of what the circuit of the island will allow?

If you want it to see gozo you must spend at least two days and not on the bus enjoy.

There is more to see and not it one day
