Best time to Visit

Malta's warm climate throughout the year allows for an enjoyable experience during any season. If you seek stunning beaches and vibrant summer festivals, you should plan your trip from June to August. However, be prepared for larger crowds and higher prices during this peak tourist season. Alternatively, for milder weather and fewer tourists, opt for the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking.
