Valletta, the UNESCO-listed capital, impresses with mighty bastions, baroque palaces and a spectacular natural harbour. Nearby, Mdina \u2014 the \u201cSilent City\u201d \u2014 the Three Cities, megalithic temples (\u0126a\u0121ar Qim, Mnajdra) and coastal towns tell a story shaped by Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman and Hospitaller influences. Between visits, crystal-clear waters take centre stage: rocky inlets, natural pools and golden-sand beaches perfect for swimming and snorkelling.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"1431\">Malta also wins over travellers with its sunny lifestyle. Greener, more rural Gozo offers coastal hikes, dramatic cliffs and tranquil villages, while Comino draws crowds to its luminous Blue Lagoon. Local cuisine blends Mediterranean flavours with island traditions (fresh fish, rabbit dishes, pastizzi), distances are short, English is widely spoken and accommodation is varied. Year-round, Malta delivers a rewarding mix of culture-led city breaks, seaside relaxation, diving and panoramic walks \u2014 with mild winters and long, sun-soaked summers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1474\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Malta<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"2049\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1490\">Capital<\/strong>: Valletta<br data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1503\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1520\">Population<\/strong>: Around 540,000 inhabitants<br data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1551\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1566\">Currency<\/strong>: Euro (\u20ac)<br data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1579\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1583\" data-end=\"1605\">Official languages<\/strong>: Maltese and English<br data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1629\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1644\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC +1 (winter) \/ UTC +2 (summer)<br data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1682\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1697\">Climate<\/strong>: Mediterranean \u2014 hot, dry summers; mild winters<br data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1748\" \/>\u2708\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1777\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Malta International Airport (MLA); island-wide bus network; ferries to Gozo and Comino<br data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1868\" \/>\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1886\">Highlights<\/strong>: Valletta (UNESCO), Mdina, Three Cities, megalithic temples, Blue Lagoon (Comino), Gozo (cliffs, villages), Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, Golden Bay &amp; Mellie\u0127a beaches<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"2051\" data-end=\"2083\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Malta<\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2363\">Whether you\u2019re staying in Valletta, a seaside resort, on Gozo or near quieter coves, you\u2019ll find options for every style \u2014 boutique hotels, resorts and welcoming guesthouses. \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2302\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/59l4lm1k\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2300\">See the best hotels in Malta<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"2365\" data-end=\"2393\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Malta<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2569\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2455\">selection of articles about Malta<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2473\" data-end=\"2489\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the archipelago\u2019s most beautiful spots.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-malta\/","name":"MALTA","slug":"visit-malta","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travelling in Malta | Guides and tips, from Mdina to Valletta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling to Malta is like visiting a little piece of summer in the heart of the Mediterranean.
