Malta felt extremely safe, although it is a country built for tourists. Despite this it was nice walking around Valetta, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Visiting the prehistoric temples around the islands was also very interesting. I would skip the blue lagoon and go hiking in other beaches which are less touristy. There is a local hiking group which organises hiking trips every Sunday at a low price

Malta in October was perfect. The whether was breezy Mediterranean. Not too touristy. Perfect for a day cruise to Gozo and Comino from the main island. Medina and Rabat are a must day trip. You should plan to stay at Sliema or Valetta. Avoid staying at St. Julian (party neighborhood) if you’re looking for calm nights lol.

I was on Malta last year during my english course. I loved that time and I can say that it was THE BEST two weeks in my life. I stayed at the St. Julians in EF residence. I really recommend Blue Lagoon, and Valetta! I felt quite safe but not on the club street, watch out your purse there. Also be careful with people because there are a lot of mens that don’t have boundaries, like everywhere. But overall I really recommend it to you! 🥰

Since it's a small island with not many inhabitants, everyone knows each other. Plus, the police do a good job and we feel really safe here. For example, I always get home very late at night. At least around 11pm and I've even gotten home between 5am and 7am, and I've never never never had any problems.

I visit in February and felt very safe for my first solo trip, I stayed in St. Paul’s Bay but traveled around the island and Gozo and felt fine no matter where I went on the island. The locals were welcoming and friendly and helpful.

Birkirkara is a nice town in Malta, mainly residential, so it’s really calm. Have good transportation to Valleta and it’s well connected to other cities. St. Helen church is a nice place to see around here

Quite safe place to travel. No major crime rate. Did not feel unsafe so far. In general, people don't mess with tourists. Everywhere I went people did not approach me in uncomfortable ways. Advise to visit it.

If you are in a group it’s fine, but there is this place called Paceville where there is a lot of bars, and it’s not always safe for girls. I know it’s a place to go party, but just stay safe please. Don’t leave your drinks around and don’t trust any men there. Many of them are on vacation so they don’t care/think about the consequences their actions can have 😔

About me
Hi, I’m Denise, 33, originally from Germany and currently living in Malta even though I moved here without ever having visited. Spoiler: best decision ever. I joined this app because I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, learning about different cultures, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. Nature makes me happy, deep talks energize me, and I’m always up for a spontaneous adventure (especially if there’s good food involved). I have ADHD, which basically means I’ve collected more hobbies than some people own socks. Gardening, painting, writing, hiking, photography, language learning it all depends on the phase I’m in. Right now, I’m into succulents and planning a big trip through Asia to explore meditation, local traditions, and hopefully some spiritual wisdom that doesn’t require me to sit still for too long. One day, I’d love to host retreats and organize cultural trips that combine travel with mental well-being and personal growth. Until then, I’m just out here exploring, meeting kind souls, and collecting stories (and maybe more plants). If you’re into nature, culture, creativity, or just enjoy chatting with slightly chaotic but passionate people — I’d love to hear from you.
