Tips for a lighter trip to Malta

🌞 The best season to visit Malta Malta enjoys mild weather all year round, but the best time to visit is undoubtedly from May to October. During this period, the days are sunny and long, and the sea is at its clearest and most vibrant. Especially in the summer months of June to September, beach destinations like the Blue Lagoon and Gozo Island truly shine. However, July and August can be extremely hot and crowded with tourists. ☀️🌴🌊 ⸻ 👒 Packing and attire With Malta's strong sunlight, essentials include hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses. For summer, pack light and breathable clothing, but also bring aqua shoes or comfortable sneakers for beach outings or walking on rocky paths. Don’t forget to pack at least two swimsuits! 👗🕶️🩴 ⸻ 💶 Currency exchange and local prices Malta uses the Euro, and most shops and restaurants accept cards. However, it’s wise to carry some cash for small markets or bus rides. Prices are slightly lower than the European average, and you can easily grab affordable meals at supermarkets or bakeries. 💳🍞💰 ⸻ 🚍 Public transportation and getting around Malta has a well-developed bus network, making it easy to travel between major areas. However, narrow roads can sometimes cause delays. The journey from the airport to the city center takes about 20–30 minutes, and trips to Gozo Island or Comino Island require ferry rides, so plan your schedule with some flexibility. ⸻
