Having a good rest on the Maltese beaches , walking up the museums and visiting numerous attractions and historical sites, you will probably want to "taste" shopping in Malta, and it's not surprising, because in such a seemingly small island state, not only branded things are sold, but also truly unique souvenirs and costume jewelery that you can not buy anywhere else in the world!
Valletta
Maltese shopping, of course, should start with Valletta , it's the capital! If you are lucky to get here on Sunday, then you can visit the market, which is located next to the main city gate. It sells old postcards, Maltese lace, dolls and various antiques. Directly from here begins the central street Triq Ir-Repubblika. It is on it that the main shops and city beauty salons are concentrated. In stores you can buy anything from designer clothes to accessories. Here is the shopping complex The Savoy, which presents many not very familiar but very interesting brands - Flic Kers, Moods, Diosa, Fel2, Pure Accessories.
After wandering around the center, take the street Triq Santa Lucija, where the mall Embassy is located. Here you can not only purchase accessories and sportswear, as well as things for the resort, but also watch a movie in the cinema or look in a cafe.
On the street Triq Iz-Zakkarija, which is located nearby, you can buy a variety of fruits and clothes, but the most attention worthy of the store shoes Darmanin, which is considered to be the best in these parts. Unusual footwear from such brands as Keys, Isterika, Kris, Vienna, Che dive, Noa, will appeal to creative girls, as many models of shoes are real masterpieces of designer fantasy.

Shopping in Sliema
Shopping in Malta is not limited to the capital. In the city of Sliema, you can also perfectly replenish your wardrobe. To do this, go to the embankment - here you will visit the shopping complexes Marks & Spencer, Dorothy Perkins and Bhs. In Sliema, there are two shopping streets - Triq Bisazza and Triq It-Torri.
On the street Bizazza there are stores Accessories, Sisley and TopShop, as well as the famous boutique of the Spanish brand Bershka. Next to it is a multi-brand store, where you can buy jewelry, glasses and watches.
On the opposite side of the street you will find a Punky Fish store where you can buy things with funny inscriptions and author's decoration. Be sure to look in Ose - accessories store, which presents unique models of costume jewelry. Nearby is a large mall with a variety of boutiques. Here you can buy gifts.

Shopping in St. Julian's
St. Julians - another Maltese town, to which you can walk from Sliema for half an hour unhurried step along the embankment. It is here that Pachevil is located (which can be reached by buses 662 and 667) - a recreation area with clubs, bars, gaming and shopping centers. It is definitely worth a visit to the unusual shopping complex Bay street. Why unusual? Because boutiques are located around open courtyards on different levels, and the whole complex is a lightweight construction of glass and metal. Here you will find both brands and interesting souvenirs with a truly Maltese flavor in the art zone on the first floor, and much, much more.
