Flying from Frankfurt to Malé: FAQs
What is the currency in Malé?
Malé uses the Maldivian Rufiyaa, which is non-convertible – so you can’t purchase currency in advance. You can, however, pay for most things in US dollars– but you’ll receive change in local currency. If you’re planning to visit other Maldivian islands, you may need to visit a bank to convert your money into rufiyaa.
What attractions should I see in Malé?
A whistle-stop tour of the main attractions in Malé might include a visit to Hukuru Miskiy, a coral stone mosque dating from 1658. Another highlight is Mulee’aage – the presidential palace. Though the city’s south boasts several artistic attractions, the bulk of Malé’s tourism lies on the northern shore. If you’re heading here for a transfer, don’t miss the authentic fish market.
Top tips for Frankfurt to Malé
See Sultan Park
If a peaceful day out usually involves walking in Frankfurt’s Rothschildpark, then it’s worth visiting Sultan Park while you’re in Malé. This urban park is also central – but instead of financial heritage, its name pays homage to the former palace of the Sultan of the Maldives. Inside the park’s walls, you can find lily-framed ponds, plus a few architectural reminders of its regal roots.
Relax on Hulhumale Beach
Think of the Maldives and you’ll likely picture idyllic white sands – so it’s good to know you can get a taste of paradise from the same island as metropolitan Malé. This is a popular place for picnics, kite surfing and scuba diving. Locals flock here to take a break from the city’s energy, so arrive early on weekends to beat the crowds.
