When to Go

The best time to visit Malta is during the lull from April to June, between the rainy season (such as it is) and the hot Mediterranean summer. This is also when room rates drop by as much as 40%. For fine weather, September and October are also good months to visit, but the pleasant weather can sometimes be interrupted by a hot and humid xlokk (sirocco) wind. Beware the uncomfortably hot temperatures of July and August.

The Christmas and New Year period is a mini-high season in the middle of winter, when many Maltese emigrants return home to visit friends and family, and European tourists come looking for a spot of winter sunshine. Otherwise, you can find some very cheap flight and accommodation deals between November and March.

The main season for festas (feast days) is June to September, but if you want to catch a festa out of season, there’s the Feast of St Paul’s Shipwreck in Valletta on 10 February, and the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in Cospicua on 8 December. Two of the liveliest and most popular events, marked by public holidays, are the Carnival Week in early March and the L’Imnarja festival on 28 and 29 June.

Valletta (Maltese: Il-Belt Valletta, commonly referred to as Il-Belt – ‘The City’) is the capital city of Malta. The city has a population of 6,315 (official estimate for 2005). It is located in the central-eastern portion of the island of Malta, where Scebberras Hill juts out into the surrounding harbours. The mayor of Valletta is Paul Borg Olivier.

In 1980 the City of Valletta was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Malta

Malta, officially the Republic of Malta (Maltese: Repubblika ta’ Malta), is a small and densely-populated island nation comprising an archipelago of seven islands, three of which are inhabited. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea within Southern Europe just 93 km (58 miles) south of Sicily; 288 km (179 miles) to its south is North Africa, giving the country a warm climate.^[1][2] The nation’s de facto capital city is the historic Valletta. Throughout much of its history, Malta has been considered a crucial strategic location due in large part to its position in the Mediterranean Sea.^[3] It was held by several ancient cultures including Sicilians, Romans, Phoenicians, Byzantines and others. The island is commonly associated with the Knights of St. John who ruled it. This, along with the historic Biblical shipwreck of St. Paul on the island, ingrained the strong Roman Catholic legacy which is still the official and most practiced religion in Malta today. The country’s official languages are Maltese and English, the latter a legacy from Malta’s period as a British colony – the United Kingdom is the most recent outside ruling power. Malta gained independence in 1964 and is currently a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as the European Union which it joined in 2004.
