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! 🥰

My trip to Malta wasn't really a trip, it was an Erasmus that I got for an internship of 6 weeks. But even though it wasn't a trip it was so nice. The people there are very nice, everyone speak English as it's they're second language. The sea is sooo blue, I wasn't able to go in the water at the beach as I hadn't thought of bringing a swimsuit but you really need one. My colleague told me that the weather in Malta is sunny most of the year, and surprisingly the only day that it rained was when I landed there. You can easily visit Malta if you loan a car as it's a very small country, and you can visit the others island by boarding small boats or bigger ones, if you want to go by car. The strawberries !!! A must to buy during march-april. It was so good that I brought 3 packs back home. I mostly was in La Valetta as I was working there at the national library (go visit it's beautiful inside). La Valletta is very beautiful, has many stores that modernizes the city but still looks like an old city. I felt safe there, thought at night I was at a place where there was a lots of noise and a little bit far from la Valletta so I wouldn't recommend. They only have buses. You need to be cautious and read very well or ask where they go or you can easily get lost (even though it's the right number). I recommend going to lot 61 coffee roasters for a nice latte and other drinks, Grano for their sandwiches (the one with chicken and peanut is sooo good), San Paolo for their pizzas, and N Japanese bistrot cause you need to taste their fish, like damn it was so good. So here you go, I hope it helps others and have a nice trip !

It was a trip I’ll never forget. I had just turned 18, and my friends and I decided to go all out and celebrate. We flew to Malta, and honestly, it was love at first sight. The water was unreal – so clear and blue – and the skies were straight out of a postcard.🔥🔥

Birkirkara
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 😔

In comparison to other countries in Europe, Malta is on the safer side. Still, I would always exercise caution especially at night & if you are drinking! Walking alone during the day is ok, but certain areas, especially Paceville and Sliema are not recommended for solo women in the evenings!!

Overall it is not bad compared to other places, but it is always good to stay cautious and keeping an eye out just in case. Expect being cat called. Avoid being alone in areas like paceville and qormi
