I felt safe, people are nice, especially Maltese men. There are many places to go visit, eat amazing food, hang out with new people. Paceville is crazy, very lively and loco, but fun. Valletta is nice, full of people, more cultural. I worked in the center of it, so for three months, had enough. Places to visit: comino blue lagoon, dingli cliffs, paradise bay, senglea, mgarr.

I was in Malta two years ago and it was amazing. I stayed in Sliema at a host family because I did a language course there, everything was easily accessible. I walked along to the water and took the ferry to Valletta (2€ or so for a 15 min ride which was really nice). Everything was easily accessible by bus, which goes along the coast. I also visited St. Julian’s. Even though it was october, everyday were like 23-28°C. I felt really safe (but I wasn’t out after 9:30 pm). Would absolutely recommend
Posted: March 26, 2025I stayed at Sprachcafé which was quite expensive and not worth it to be honest the room was super small and I had to share it with two people I couldn't take my stuff out of my suitcase:( but other than that it was great I love the scenery and also they don't check your age when you want to buy alcohol or get into clubs and when I walked down this one street with many clubs like literally every few meters someone would hand me a paper with free drinks for women only 😍 I had a lot of fun in my time staying in Malta and I visited different cities and they all looked beautiful I felt very safe even at night walking alone in dark streets and all the people I met were really kind

Malta is a beautiful place with so much to discover. The people are very friendly, and the food is delicious. There are beaches everywhere, and you’re constantly surrounded by the sea. This small, stunning country feels like paradise. This lovely little island is simply a dream.

Hi friends, We came to Malta with my mom and three kids. This is my second time here, the first time was when I was a teenager and I love it back then. Traveling with little kids here was a horrible idea lol,kids wanted to swim, but the weather was so unpredictable. One min it's 20degree the next was sooo cold and rainy. It's a beautiful island but if you plan coming here with kids do it in the summer, even then I think it's not ideal. The beaches are rocky and are just few with sand. We are staying for one more week, but I wish we did go home already
Posted: February 9, 2025Experienced: January, 2025Malta was very safe , i never had the thought of being robed or that something might happen to me . I was travelling with my best friend and we visited pretty much every thing. We suggest going to medina , valletta saint giljan , have a chance to visit pompey village you will definitely have a great time there . Also you can find amazing food all around malta . For enjoying a glass of wine with a beautiful view of the sea at night i suggest valletta. Also if you are a freak of nightlife st julian "paceville" is a place to get crazy to. Hope you enjoy it there as much as we did.
Posted: February 7, 2025Experienced: May, 2024Malta was a very beautiful and safe place. Even though it was a small island, there were many places to visit, but it was enough for 3-4 days. The food was not good at all. There is nothing famous. I tried a fish soup, but I did not like it at all. I think it is more expensive than other European countries. This has to do with the fact that it is an island country. Yes, I stayed at my cousin's house, I didn't use too much taxi or public transportation because the location was central, but it was nice, people are polite and understanding, I think they will help you if you go.

Malta in December? Absolutely! ☀️ I spent 4 amazing days exploring this incredible island. The weather was perfect, mild enough for shorts and a light jacket, allowing me to soak up the sun☀️ Transportation was a breeze and super affordable, making it easy to get around. 🐠 Foodies rejoice! Malta is a seafood paradise with endless options. The city itself is a melting pot of cultures, and the people? Incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a relaxed and safe haven, perfect for exploring at your own pace. 💃🏻 Even a solo night out at a local club was an unforgettable experience (and yes, I was the only girl there, but everyone was so welcoming!). 🗺️ There's SO much to see and do, it's impossible to list it all! DM me on Insta &nci.arra for all the juicy details! ✈️"
Posted: January 7, 2025Experienced: December, 2024I found a cheap trip for a week in St Paul’s Bay that I booked. The lower standard hotel did feel unsafe but it was okay and nothing happened except for staff being a little “pushy”. People where very friendly and service staff are very polite but I did experience a lot of encounters from men. From what I heard it is a safe country with a low crime rate, but like in every other place, I definitely would not feel safe walking alone without other people around. I did have a great, relaxing holiday but I would recommend booking a hotel with a higher standard to ensure being able to sleep without worrying!

For me, Malta is a very safe country with low crime rates and a welcoming atmosphere. Petty theft is rare, and it’s generally safe to walk around even at night, including in tourist areas. but obviously you need to be careful wherever you go.

In my honest opinion of being here three months, Malta is fine. yes, some men are a bit too much, but I’ve not experienced anything bad, only too much talking or questions. Overall, if you are not alone, you are most likely going home happy, with good memories and probably tipsy.

I'm currently in university studying English and History undergrad- I really love them and am always eager to rattle on about anything history and literature related! I never turn down an opportunity to learn about them too, as well as culture, art or things you're passionate about. I enjoy getting to know people and different life experiences. I also just had a gap year where I travelled around Europe and did WWOOFing, which has made me fall in love with travelling and lean into things with more curiosity and a desire to learn, whatever it may be about. Nature has always been something dear to me, as well as advocating for minority groups in whatever way that I can. On another note, one of my favourite things to do is taking care of other people and especially baking for them or with them! I'm always looking for the chance to do so hehe
