The Sun, a popular British tabloid, just published an article describing Malta as the country where young holidaymakers can find good food, cheap booze and legal weed. 

Malta was also described as ‘Amsterdam-on-sea’, given how the Netherland’s iconic city is normally associated with stereotypes Malta is, according to this article, taking on. 

‘WITH racy dance shows, boozed-up Brits and the sickly sweet smell of cannabis filling the air, this European holiday hotspot might sound a little familiar.’

‘But it is not the infamous red light district of Amsterdam, where millions of tourists flock each year for legal joints and X-rated thrills.’

‘In 2021, the picturesque island – situated between Sicily and the North African coast – became the first EU country to legalise the cultivation and personal use of cannabis.’

‘The landmark ruling has led to dedicated drug shops popping up alongside the countless nightclubs in Paceville – a party district with rowdy nightlife to rival Magaluf.’

‘Just a few hundred metres from the strip, where twenty-somethings party hard into the early hours, is a booze and cigarette shop that sells pre-rolled joints.’ 

‘Malta, a former favourite of families and the elderly, has emerged in recent years as the Med’s new Party Central.’

‘Young Brits are flocking here on the three-hour flights from London to take advantage of some of the lowest prices in Europe and drinking games organised by party groups.’
