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.
Posted: July 1, 2024I went to Malta on a solo trip from Italy. Malta is a very nice island to visit and stay a few days. It was very safe. I never felt in danger. The food was okay, the traditional food is not anything special. The Beaches and nightlife is worth it. But I would suggest going in summer months as it gets pretty windy in spring.
Posted: May 26, 2024Experienced: March, 2023I felt safe, except for one time in Sliema when I was walking down narrow, dark streets at night. The food is good, with a lot of pasta and pizza. Malta is very crowded, but the public transportation is good and you can get anywhere if you are patient.
Posted: May 19, 2024I travelled to Malta in 2020. At that time safety was a big topic due to Covid. I always felt safe and St.Julien is a city where a lot of students from all over the world get to know each other and learn English. That was my purpose too in the first place. But Malta really was impressive to me, especially M'dina! And all overall women can feel safe like in other western countries.

Overall Malta was lovely! I was traveling budget friendly so I stayed at granny’s inn hostel and it was clean and safe. I would highly recommend visiting Mdina, it’s a small bus ride from the main city of Valletta but it’s so worth it. I took the buses and despite the language barrier I found it very simple to navigate. The roads are pretty rough though so prep for bumping around.

Malta is truly very beautiful, and public transportation is very affordable. A bus ride costs 2€, and Ubers are also quite cheap. The food there was delicious and reasonably priced. I paid 18€ for a large portion of pasta and an Aperol. I felt very safe during the day, but it is recommended not to be alone in Malta at night.
Posted: January 30, 2024Malta was my first solo trip. It is very safe there, public transportation is quite good and there is a lot to see. I was there for 5 days and plan to return. Valetta is really charming, and Mdina and Rabat are places that you must see. It's very easy to get to Gozo and I used an open-top bus to tour the attractions. I am a very nervous person and I never felt uncomfortable there.
Posted: January 2, 2024Malta was my first solo trip and I really had a great time there. I used buses to explore and I felt very safe. Valletta is wonderful but crowded - I only went there for one day, visited the maritime museum and watched the cannon shooting. I stayed in a small, family-run hotel with a pool in St. Paul's Bay, which was ridiculously cheap, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone was talking on the buses. I noticed that I prefer to eat the main meal at lunch time, people seemed more willing to chat, and eating lunch alone does not seem strange.
Posted: December 28, 2023I embarked on a solo trip to Malta in June, staying in Sliema and travelling around by bus. The bus system is extensive, but it may not be reliable. There were times when a local told me that the bus no longer stops there, so make sure you have plenty of time if you want to travel by bus. I also recommend downloading the bus app, as it shows actual bus arrival times. I swam, dived, and hiked solo, never feeling unsafe. Malta is very beautiful, with plenty of stunning landscapes.

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.

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.

I'm currently taking a gap year from school to travel and learn about different cultures and spend time in nature. I'm always up for learning about society, culture, history and the environment.

Hi! I'm 27 years old and from the UK, living in a village just outside the Peak District. I am going on my first solo trip this year, so hoping for some tips and advice, and maybe people to meet along the way. I love living life slowly. Some of my hobbies are hiking, crochet, yoga, finding good coffee and pastry spots, visiting museums and galleries, lazing around outdoors :)
