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! 🥰

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 😔

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!!
