Maltese islands are synonymous with summer vacation destinations, whether it’s because of their always-blue sea, gorgeous beaches, or naturally occurring cinematographic pools. Malta, on the other hand, is a wonderful location at any time of year, even the winter. Further complicating matters, my visit to the islands fell during the coldest season of the year in the northern hemisphere. See this article for information on things to do in Malta during the winter.

With an area of about 316 km2, Malta is a tiny archipelago that is located in southern Europe on the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and North Africa. Malta is made up of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino, the latter of which is deserted. Since the area is so tiny, we can easily cover the whole region in a couple of hours.

We suggest reading the article with all the advice on how to get there, where to stay, and also how to travel about Malta, which is already available on this site as part of a series of blogs about Malta. See also the article with recommendations for low-cost accommodations in Malta.

Various things to do in Malta

First and foremost, despite the fact that Malta is often thought of as a summer destination, it is feasible to visit the country at any time of year. It is important to note that there are certain specifics to take into consideration.

• Summer, which runs from June through September, is the busiest season. It’s going to be very hot, and everyone and everything will be swarming with people. Due to the island’s tiny size, it is unable to accommodate the large inflow of Europeans that come to the island during their summer holidays to relax. Hotels are packed, beaches are overcrowded, and public transportation is unable to keep up with demand. Another immediate effect is an increase in the cost of everything, which leads to higher pricing.
• For those who like the summer but dislike crowded areas, visiting Malta during this time of year is not a smart choice. Another option is to go to Malta during the spring season, which runs from March until early May. Another alternative is to go in the late summer and early fall, namely in September and October, when the weather is cooler.

Pay close attention to the months of November and December since these are the months when it tends to rain the most. As part of my preparations for the trip, the tourists keep an eye on the weather, which was consistently rainy throughout November and December. The rain was always there on the live cameras in Valletta throughout that time period. Speaking of which, this is an excellent idea to keep track of wherever you are. Every major city in the world has live video cameras broadcasting on the internet; all you have to do is search for them on Google and you’ll discover them.

Malta is experiencing its first winter

According to our experience, travelling to Malta during the winter months was a wise choice. Early February this year was a better time to visit since everything was more vacant, prices were less expensive, and the weather was wonderful.
