I'm generally afraid of strangers and being on my own in the dark, but Malta is always a place I feel the safest in. I've been here many times and never had any issues. Of course, it's crucial to always remain cautious but I do feel safe here.

Malta has always been a very safe place. Even car accidents hardly happen. The most common crime is a frawl that may happen between drunk men in the area of night clubs. Which doesn't happen much.
Posted: June 17, 2024It depends on the area and town, some are safer than others. Men catcall a lot here but it is rare someone will assault you. It is very safe during the day, less at night. I would not go out alone at night
Posted: June 3, 2024I haven't faced any dangerous situations. I don't know about night clubs though. Walking alone after midnight has also been safe. People are quite respectful in Malta. I know the uni area best and I haven't noticed any problems there.
Posted: April 6, 2024After covid us Maltese got a bit worried about femicides as males started acting strange but overall police are being visible in streets and makes people feel safe. Bars and restaurants are 100% safe even the people who serve are very helpful.
Posted: March 24, 2024I haven’t lived here for very long, but the men/guys I’ve encountered walking alone have always been great at keeping their distance, making sure to not walk right behind you, even crossing a street to make you feel safe. Everyone is super kind, and I’ve not once felt unsafe walking alone, neither day or night.

I went solo, but was picked up by a friend who lives there. I participated in some free walking tours that gave me a good introduction to history and overall vibes of the island. I was surprised that Malta was not much cheaper than Germany, but the food is better, the people very polite and I felt really safe. I learned that Malta gets tol crowded and that mass tourism impacts the environment signifacetelly.

I felt quite safe in malta. I was staying in a hostel where I met a lot of amazing people and most of the days we were sightseeing together, but there was days when I was all by myself and I also had a great time. The country is not very expensive and all depends on what you want to do, but there are many options of places for free or very cheap.

Malta was a very nice place, but it was also very hot in the summer. There were many people partying, but there were also nice beaches. I really enjoyed jet-skiing. The Blue Lagoon was very crowded, but it was also extremely beautiful.

I think that Malta is a good destination if you’re looking about nice view and some great activities. Visiting lagoon by boat, going to the beach etc. You can also eat at a good restaurant for a cheap price. They also speak English there so no problem communicating with locals.
