Budget Bliss in Birgu: Solo Adventures in Malta’s Historic Gem

#100usdchallenge Birgu (Vittoriosa), Malta’s historic harbour town, offers charm and affordability—perfect for solo travellers. Budget stays in family-run guesthouses or B&Bs in Birgu Marina or near the Inquisitor’s Palace offer great value and central access. Wander the fortified waterfront, explore the maritime museum and Knights’ own Inquisitor’s Palace, and soak in the period architecture. Climb the Gardjola Gardens for sweeping harbour views. Enjoy a peaceful coffee at a café overlooking the water, or grab a slice of pastizzi from a local bakery. Evening walks past illuminated bastions along Birgu’s silent alleys feel both safe and evocative. Birgu is compact, walkable, historic—and wallet‑friendly. #solotravel #weekendgetaway
