Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Gozo tour

  • Sit on the top deck for the best views, but bring sunscreen and a hat. Gozo’s sun is no joke, even on breezy days.
  • Start early to fit in both routes in one day comfortably, especially if you're planning to explore key sights on foot.
  • The bus doesn’t run very late, so check the last departure times to avoid getting stuck at far-flung stops like Xlendi or Marsalforn.
  • Don’t skip Xewkija Rotunda! Take the elevator to the roof for one of the best panoramic views of Gozo.
  • Carry cash for craft villages and small cafés. Many places still prefer it over cards, especially in remote stops.
  • At Dwejra, make time to walk down to the Inland Sea and take a boat ride through the sea cave if the weather permits.
  • Visit the Ggantija Temples early in the day to avoid the heat and enjoy the site in a quieter atmosphere.
  • Don’t just pass through Victoria, get off and walk the Cittadella walls for free views, and also pop into the quirky little museums.
  • If you’re doing both routes in a day, grab lunch in Victoria. It’s central, has lots of food options, and lets you recharge.
  • Weather can change quickly near coastal areas like Dwejra and Xlendi, so pack a light sweater or shawl just in case.
