Solo Female Travel in Malta

Solo travel experience

I travelled to Malta in 2020. At that time safety was a big topic due to Covid. I always felt safe and St.Julien is a city where a lot of students from all over the world get to know each other and learn English. That was my purpose too in the first place. But Malta really was impressive to me, especially M'dina! And all overall women can feel safe like in other western countries.

Last year I move to Malta alone. I didn't know what to do with my life and I decided to move there to practice my English. I found an amazing island and a so great people. I had to leave Malta with half of my heart there... But time to move to another aventura... NY!

Solo travel experience

Overall Malta was lovely! I was traveling budget friendly so I stayed at granny’s inn hostel and it was clean and safe. I would highly recommend visiting Mdina, it’s a small bus ride from the main city of Valletta but it’s so worth it. I took the buses and despite the language barrier I found it very simple to navigate. The roads are pretty rough though so prep for bumping around.

Group travel experience

There are not many things to do in Malta. We did spend a whold day in Valetta capital of Malta, one day is enough. We stayed at a friend house so free accommodation 😁 I do recommend trips to nearby islands. Comino was lovely and has sand beach, and Blue lagoon was incredible Food wasn't great but people are friendly enough. Lots of rats and cockroach😅

Solo travel experience

I went to Malta alone. It was a great experience for me. I made a lot of friends. I had access to all kinds of food in the world. I had the opportunity to go on cultural trips and visit nearby countries.

Solo travel experience

Malta is truly very beautiful, and public transportation is very affordable. A bus ride costs 2€, and Ubers are also quite cheap. The food there was delicious and reasonably priced. I paid 18€ for a large portion of pasta and an Aperol. I felt very safe during the day, but it is recommended not to be alone in Malta at night.

Solo travel experience

I went on a solo trip to Malta for my birthday and had fun like never before. It's as expensive or as cheap there as you want. Most of the attractions and sights are free. I stayed in a hostel and met some amazing people. I recommend visiting Mdina, Comino, and Gozo. It was a great trip.

Solo travel experience

Malta was my first solo trip and it was wonderful. It’s a wonderful country and the people are helpful. Very historical and you can see a lot in just a week. I recommend visiting Gozo Island for a day trip.

Solo travel experience

Malta was my first solo trip. It is very safe there, public transportation is quite good and there is a lot to see. I was there for 5 days and plan to return. Valetta is really charming, and Mdina and Rabat are places that you must see. It's very easy to get to Gozo and I used an open-top bus to tour the attractions. I am a very nervous person and I never felt uncomfortable there.

Solo travel experience

Malta was my first solo trip and I really had a great time there. I used buses to explore and I felt very safe. Valletta is wonderful but crowded - I only went there for one day, visited the maritime museum and watched the cannon shooting. I stayed in a small, family-run hotel with a pool in St. Paul's Bay, which was ridiculously cheap, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone was talking on the buses. I noticed that I prefer to eat the main meal at lunch time, people seemed more willing to chat, and eating lunch alone does not seem strange.

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.
