Solo Female Travel in Malta

Malta, Solo travel

I was in Malta during the carnival. Even though it was high season because the carnival in Malta is very well known, the general prices (flight, hostel, transport, food, museum tickets etc.)they were all very low. SAFETY-I felt very safe. The people are very open and welcoming. A man with his granddaughter pulled up in their van and asked if I wanted a ride. THING TO DO- If you love nightlife and partying✔️ If you love trekking✔️ If you love history and archaeology✔️ If you love the sea and diving ✔️ FOOD-I fell in love with Pastizz! And now this is one of my comfort foods... There are options for everyone, perhaps vegetarians will have more difficulty tasting typical dishes. The water from the taps in Malta is not drinkable, you will have to buy it at the supermarket.🥲 BUDGET-Malta is for everyone's budget. From families, to groups of people and solo travellers. This is also why I decided to move there, but the problems of a resident are different from those of a traveler. ACCOMODATION-I stayed in a hostel in St. Julian run by volunteers (very clean). Fantastic location, close to the sea, supermarket, bus stop, also close to the nightlife. TRANSPORT-Transportation was a bit of a sore point. If you leave from the central bus station in the centre of Valletta you are sure to have a bus leaving for your destination. Maybe not at the scheduled time, but it leaves. ⚠️Important advices ⚠️ 1-When you need to leave to go home, book an Uber or Bolt to take you to the airport, in this case you will be 100% sure to arrive on time (find other travellers who want to split the cost.) 2-Malta roads are very busy, so please take this tip when booking your Uber/Bolt arrival time to pick you up and take you to the airport. Have fun 🌺

Malta, Solo travel

I had a beautiful and adventurous time in Malta. I’d love to go there again, but later in the year so that I can enjoy swimming Malta’s mesmerizing water and wander around in the nature. I stayed at Quadro Hotel in Sliema which I enjoyed. The room was nice, breakfast buffé was great and they had a nice rooftop where I layed and sunbathed during the day. To get around I used the public transport which was accesible and cheap. I got off at the wrong stop a few times but that just turned out to be an interesting adventure. I spent a day in Valletta where I tried to take a sightseeing boat ride but accidently took a boat to one of the three cities, where I got lost and wandered the streets. It was beautiful. Once I got back to Valletta I went up to the Upper Barraka and watched the sunset. By that time my phone had died so I asked two girls to send me a picture of the sunset which they kindly did. Another day I went to the Dingli Cliffs to see the sunset, but forgot to check the weather before I went… it was very foggy and I did not see anything but a blue sky melting into the blue ocean. However it looked as if it would have been a great sunset spot if there was any sun setting. On my way back to Valletta I dropped by Medina which was nice and a bit spooky at night. I enjoyed being the only one walking the streets, but it would have been nice to go for a tour or something similar to learn more about the city.

Malta is a small island with plenty of things to do and see, very accessible thanks to buses and boats to get to the other islands. As a solo traveler, I felt safe there and could meet other students on site.

Malta, Couple travel

My week long stay in Sliema Malta was fantastic and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to solo travel where you have sunny weather the majority of the year 😊One highlight was a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon, where the turquoise waters were so clear you could see straight to the bottom—completely surreal. While the food and drinks were a bit pricey, they were worth it. I had an unforgettable meal at Ta’Kris, trying octopus soup and rabbit for the first time. Try to book in advance because the place was packed! Exploring Malta at night felt incredibly safe. The narrow streets were lively and well lit so I never felt uneasy walking back to my hotel. Overall, Malta was a fantastic experience, and I'm planning to go back to explore more of the inner island, especially the ancient structures dating back to 6000 BC 😱 If you're looking for a mix of adventure, history, and stunning scenery, Malta should definitely be on your travel list!

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.

I 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.

Malta, Group travel

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 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.

Malta, Group travel

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.

Malta

Malta is a quite safe island, however lately we've been seeing an increase in crimes overall! I would say it is still quite safe for females travelling alone, even during the night time you can go alone for walks and etc, but I did had some unpleasant situations but nothing to worrying

Malta

Mostly safe.. harassment and crime is usually most apparent in nightlife areas.. however if walking alone after dark one should take precautions since most non touristy areas are not well lit..but we have a good Uber/bolt that can take you to your destination and are quite safe

Malta is very safe and beautiful. For a solo woman, traveling here is really straightforward. There is a lot of cultural heritage to discover, beautiful routes to walk, and of course, beaches. Public transportation (buses) is easy to navigate, and if the bus doesn't go where you want, you can download the Bolt or Uber app. The food is good, people are friendly, and of course, everyone speaks English. The weather is nice, but summer is very hot.

Malta is very safe. In terms of where to stay - Sliema is the main city. It's commercial and bustling, but has a charming boulevard, plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants, and good access to everywhere. St. Julian's is next to Sliema. You can walk there. Only stay here if you're looking for nightlife. It's very busy and loud. Valetta is the capital of the country. Good nightlife and bustling days. The hotels can be expensive. It may also be loud there. You can take a bus to anywhere from Valetta. Check out St. Paul's Bay/Bugibba if you're looking for cheaper hotels. It's like a summer resort. Restaurants, a boulevard. Places to swim and a bit of nightlife.

This is a list that I recently made for a friend. Places: - Valletta - dedicate a whole good day to explore the capital, there are many charming streets to explore and monuments to visit, especially the views of the bay! - Mosta - a famous church/dome where a bomb fell during Sunday mass. Nearby there is the Cauchi store (like a small WH Smith!) - Mdina - a quiet town that isn't so quiet anymore, but is still beautiful (also used for filming Game of Thrones) - The crafts village of Ta’Qali - famous for glass blowing and lace making - Blue Grotto - go there for a boat trip - Gozo - a day spent here is wonderful, you can also sail from here to the even smaller island of Camino (great places for swimming) - Mellieha/Ghadira Bay Beach What to eat: - pastizzi (pastries with ricotta or green peas) - the ones with ricotta are my favorites! - Maltese bread is so good! - Cisk beer (pronounced Chisk) - Imqarrun il-Forn (a baked pasta dish that grandpa always made for us) Others: - Festa - these are the night festivals of the village or town. Any occasion to party is good! They are celebrated at different times in different towns, so check the dates when you will be there and go to the town celebrating the festival. There will be plenty of food, a huge decorated church (celebrating various saints), usually a parade and then tons of fireworks! - Churches are always amazing - make sure you are dressed appropriately to enter, and always look up, as they have some of the most beautiful ceilings I remember!

Food and drink: Very good variety. We are a country that thrives on food, so portions are large and prices start from 8-13 euros for a large meal. Nightlife: Malta is also famous for its nightlife. We have a town, Paceville, which has an open-air shopping center, restaurants, a beach, hotels, and an entire area dedicated to clubs. Most of them are free of charge. Transport: Public transport is not the best. However, for central regions, like Valletta, there are numerous and frequent routes. Taxi companies, such as Bolt, Uber, e-Cabs, and Cool are available. All these companies have their own apps. Maltese is our first language, but English is used worldwide. Most of us are fluent in English, so there are no problems with getting around and asking questions. If you're looking for a hotel/apartment, I would choose something closer to the center of Malta, as, as I said, most outings are spread out. I recommend taking a ferry to Comino and Gozo. Gozo requires at least one day for a visit.
