June to August: Sun, sands & heavy crowds- June to August is peak tourist season for Malta, with tourist numbers for these three months (900,000) often outnumbering Malta’s population (518,536). Still, it’s a great place if you’re looking for warm, toasty weather and plenty of water activities.

• The Golden Bay
• The Dingli Cliffs
• The Buskett Gardens
• Fort St. Angelo

Disclaimer: Talk to a guide about safety while walking, as Maltesers have a reputation for driving passionately and aggressively.

Malta’s scenic landscapes, heartwarming cuisine and unique culture are a great reason to spend a few days getting lost in the ‘Land of Honey’. Some highlights to consider include;

• Fantastic Food: From puffy pastizzi to hearty aljotta, Malta’s unique cuisine will take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey.

Yes! The nation’s small size makes walking, bus riding or cycling a better option (though there are no official cycling lanes). Cars are ideal for those looking for hidden beach locales, but a car isn’t necessary, especially during rush hour when walking is almost always faster.

That’s a tough one! With that being said, most consider the Blue Grotto, a series of grand sea caves along the Southeast Malta shoreline to be the most breathtaking place on the island.
