Best time to visit
The best time to visit Malta depends on a lot of different factors, like what are your preferred weather conditions and obviously, your budget. In general, the best time is during the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). Between these periods, the weather is mild (not too warm or too cold), there are fewer crowds and the prices are lower.
In conclusion, the best time to visit Spain would be during the shoulder season of spring and fall when the prices are lower and the weather is more pleasant. But if the main reason is to party than the best time would be in mid summer!
Winter
December - March
The weather is quite pleasant during these time period with temperatures between 15° and 20°C, which is perfect for exploring the country! This isn’t for laying on the beach, but it’s still a good time as their aren’t many visitors.
Spring
April - June
This would probably be the best time to visit Malta as it’s yet to be too hot and it’s still shoulder season. You can already enjoy the outdoors and drink or eat on the terraces.
Summer
June - September
If you want to visit Malta during the summer months (June to August), the beaches and coastal towns are at their best, but expect it to be much more crowded and hot this time of the year. Rental prices are also much higher and you will need to plan ahead of time. And it’s quite busy with party people, so keep that in mind.
Autumn
September - November
Fall is a good time to visit Malta as it’s shoulder season, when prices go down. Warmer clothing is necessary, but there are still many sunny days left.
Practical information
People from the Schengen area or the European Union can enter Malta with a valid identity card. Other people need to have a valid passport.

Malta uses the power plug sockets that are of type G. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz
As an European, you can use your own SIM card. Everyone outside the European Union will need to buy a local SIM.
Credit and debit card are widely used in Malta. There are also a lot of ATM’s around the country.
Absolutely! Malta is an extremely safe country. You just need to follow precautions, especially in big cities and everything will be fine. Pickpocketing would be mostly happening in big cities like Valletta, Mdina, and Saint Julian.
Public transportation in Malta is very easy to use and is one of the world’s most efficient. You have mostly buses transporting you around the country, going around different regions. As it’s a very small island, it doesn’t take very long to get from one point to the other.
This is a hard question as there are so many different factors to keep in mind. I went to Malta with a budget of around €900 for 6 days and we ate out everyday as of doing activities.
Overall, expect to spend, as a budget traveler, between €40 – 70 per day and as a mid-range traveler between €70 – 150. If you want it a bit more luxurious, you will probably spend more than €150 per day.
