What is the Climate Like in Malta?

Malta has a Mediterranean climate with very mild winters and warm to hot summers.

Winters in Malta see temperatures around 16 degrees Celsius and are rainy. The humidity can spike to more than 80 percent. Summers in Malta can reach the low 30’s and are dry. Sunshine is very common during the summer.

How Safe is Malta?

Crime is common in Malta. The most common acts are assault, pick-pocketing, and petty theft. Always be aware of your surroundings and never leave property unattended.

The nightclub scene in Malta can turn violent. Watch what is going on around you and don’t be afraid to head back to your hotel. When visiting nightclubs in any part of Malta, always keep an eye on your drink. Criminals do drug tourists to make it easier to rob and assault them.

 

Medieval Hilltop Town

While Malta has many white sandy beaches, tourists tend to flock to the many historical sites. One of the most popular is the Medieval Hilltop Town of Mdina on the main island of Malta.

Mdina, which is also known as Città Vecchia and Città Notabile, is a walled hilltop city that established in the 8th century BC. The medieval city would later become Mdina in the 11th century AD. Mdina’s well-preserved architecture is a sight to behold.
