Between Sicily and the North African coast, the tiny Mediterranean nation of Malta is one of the best beach destinations in Europe. It has a laidback tropical vibe with picture-perfect beaches and amazing diving.
And would you believe that Malta also has the highest density of historic sights on the planet! Whether you want to lounge at the beach, explore the depths of the Mediterranean, or wander around a 5000-year-old necropolis, you can do it here.

Language: Maltese people are linguistic pros! Most natives speak Maltese, and nearly 90% speak English, while another 50% also speak Italian.
Credit Cards + Cash: Carry a mix of cash and cards. Most big retailers and restaurants accept cards, although not always American Express. You’ll also still want cash on hand for small purchases.
Climate: With a Mediterranean climate, it’s never too cold in Malta. In the winter, you’ll find temps between 50 to 60, while summer days range from the low 70s to 90.
High Season: June to August gets crazy in Malta. Hotels are booked solid and the beaches can get really crowded. Things also get busy again briefly from Christmas to the New Year. Plan ahead if you’re coming for the high season! There are also big village celebrations that take place all over the islands, so the calendar is packed with events all year long!

Taxis: The islands are small so taxis are affordable and the most common means of getting around. Watch for an official white taxi car and make sure they turn on the meter.
Public Transport: Public transport is reliable and goes to most tourist destinations. If you think you’ll use it regularly, you can grab a 12-trip card for 15 euros.
Ferry: To get from Malta to the other two islands, Comino and Gozo, you’ll need to go by ferry. During most of the year, the ferries leave at least once per hour and it takes less than 30 minutes.
You’ll leave for either island from the Cirkewwa port. You’ll have a few options but generally, you can expect to pay 10 euros or less for round-trip travel.
Walk: Both Malta and Gozo Island have Coastal Walks. These are paths you can take to walk around the entire island. The routes and terrain vary, but if you are up for it, this is a great way to see lots of different views!
