Frequently asked questions about hotels in Malta
What are the best landmarks to visit in Malta?
Malta boasts a wealth of historical sites. For a taste of its rich past, you absolutely must see the Megalithic Temples of Ä gantija on Gozo and the Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni in Paola, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Valletta, the capital city, is packed with landmarks like St. John's Co-Cathedral, with its Caravaggio masterpieces, and the Grand Master's Palace, a stunning example of Baroque architecture. The fortifications of Valletta, including the bastions and city walls, offer breathtaking views. Outside Valletta, Mdina, the silent city, is a must-see, with its narrow, winding streets and magnificent architecture.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Malta?
Beyond sightseeing, Malta offers diverse activities. A boat trip to the Blue Grotto on the south-west coast is a classic experience, showcasing stunning coastal scenery. Diving or snorkelling around the islands reveals vibrant underwater life. Exploring the various charming villages, such as Marsaxlokk with its colourful fishing boats, is a delightful way to experience local life. A visit to Gozo, the sister island, is highly recommended, allowing you to explore its unique landscapes and charming towns like Victoria.
The best time to visit Malta is during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant, with warm sunshine and comfortable temperatures, ideal for exploring the islands. Summer (June-August) can be very hot, while winter (November-March) is mild but can be wet and windy.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Malta?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Malta?
For a week-long stay, Valletta offers a central location with easy access to various attractions. Sliema and St Julian's provide a more vibrant atmosphere with plenty of hotels, restaurants and nightlife. However, for a quieter experience, consider staying in a traditional village like Marsaxlokk or Mdina, which offer a more authentic Maltese experience.
Which parts of Malta are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway could focus on Valletta and its surrounding areas, allowing you to explore the city's historical sites and enjoy the beautiful harbour views. Alternatively, a trip to Gozo offers a change of scenery, with its picturesque countryside and charming villages like Victoria and Marsalforn. Consider basing yourself in a central location like Sliema or St Julian's for easy access to various attractions.
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring the islands at your own pace, especially if you plan to visit Gozo or explore the more remote areas. However, parking can be challenging in Valletta and other urban areas. Public transport is relatively efficient, particularly buses, which cover most of the islands.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Malta?
Yes, credit cards are widely accepted in Malta, particularly in tourist areas and larger establishments. However, it's always advisable to have some cash on hand, especially for smaller shops or restaurants in more rural areas.
What are the largest airports in Malta?
Malta International Airport (MLA) is the only international airport in Malta.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Malta?
While Maltese people are generally welcoming, it's considered polite to dress modestly when visiting churches or religious sites. Learning a few basic Maltese phrases is appreciated, and showing respect for local customs and traditions will enhance your experience.
What local specialties should you try in Malta?
You must try the traditional Maltese rabbit stew, a national favourite. Pastizzi, savoury pastries filled with ricotta or peas, are a popular snack. Fresh seafood is readily available, and local wines, such as the Marsovin range, are worth sampling. For dessert, try Kannoli, a delicious sweet treat.
Where are the best shopping spots in Malta?
Valletta offers high-end boutiques and artisan shops. Sliema and St Julian's have a wider range of shops, from high street brands to local crafts. For a more authentic experience, explore the local markets, such as the one in Valletta, for souvenirs and local produce.
What signature events or festivals take place in Malta?
Malta hosts various festivals throughout the year. The most notable include the Malta International Fireworks Festival, featuring spectacular firework displays, and the Isle of MTV Malta, a major music event. Numerous village feasts celebrate local saints with vibrant processions and festivities.
What’s the best place in Malta for mild and comfortable weather?
During the warmer months, Gozo tends to offer slightly milder temperatures than the main island of Malta, due to its location and slightly different microclimate. In the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn), the weather is generally pleasant across the islands.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Malta?
One common mistake is underestimating the heat during summer. Another is not booking accommodation or tours in advance, especially during peak season. Failing to explore beyond Valletta and Sliema also limits the experience of the diversity of the islands.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Malta?
The island of Comino, with its Blue Lagoon, offers a tranquil escape from the crowds. The San Anton Gardens in Attard provide a peaceful oasis, and the Wignacourt Tower in St Paul's Bay offers panoramic views. Exploring the less-visited villages, such as Xlendi on Gozo, reveals the authentic charm of Malta.
