On the northern coast of Gozo lies one of the island’s most breathtaking and historic landscapes — the Xwejni Salt Pans. Stretching across the coastline between Marsalforn and Qbajjar Bay, this honeycomb of shallow pools carved into the limestone is more than just a beautiful sight — it’s a living tradition that has shaped Gozo’s identity for centuries.

If there’s one thing you absolutely must try while visiting Gozo, it’s the pastizz — a small, flaky pastry that carries a big piece of Maltese culture in every bite. Whether you’re exploring the bustling streets of Victoria or relaxing in a quiet village square, you’ll almost certainly come across locals enjoying these golden, crispy delights with a coffee or a tea.

Pastizzi aren’t just food here — they’re a way of life.

Rising proudly above Victoria, the capital of Gozo, the Citadel (Ċittadella) is more than just a fortress — it’s the soul of the island. For centuries, it stood as a silent guardian, watching over the Gozitan countryside and its people. Today, it welcomes visitors from around the world to wander its ancient streets, soak in its history, and experience one of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see.
