Best places to visit on one of our Malta holidays

A fusion of contemporary and ancient history, Malta offers some truly breathtaking sights that are just waiting to be discovered. Choose us as your Malta travel agents and get ready to have one of the best holidays of your life.

1. Valletta

Boasting more than 300 days of Mediterranean sunshine a year, no trip to Malta is complete without a visit to its capital, Valletta. An extremely walkable city, visit the ornate St. John’s Co-Cathedral, which is home to marble tombs, nine chapels, and even a crypt. 

If you love history, take a tour with Underground Valletta, where you can explore hidden passages, or head to the Museum of Archaeology. Alternatively, you could easily spend a few days eating your way around the city, with plenty of outdoor cafes and restaurants serving delicious Maltese delicacies, which take inspiration from Italian and Arabian cuisine.

2. Gozo

A 30-minute ferry ride north of mainland Malta, Gozo is a tranquil paradise that offers rugged views. Rent a car to take full advantage of your time here, on your Malta travel package, and hike the dramatic limestone Sanap Cliffs, which offer amazing sunset views.

Gozo’s beaches also happen to be some of the best in the country, with Xlendi Beach’s golden shores perfect for swimming and sunbathing; and Dwjera Bay famed for the Blue Hole, which is one of the best diving spots in all of Europe.

3. Mosta

Situated right in the centre of Malta, one of the key highlights here is the Church Rotunda, which boasts the third largest dome in Europe, and dates back to the 1800s.

If you’re incorporating some time in Mosta on your vacation in Malta, other things to see include Ta’ Bistra Catacombs, which are open to the public on the last Sunday of every month, and the Monday Market, where you can shop clothes, bags, and accessories.

4. Mdina

If you’re holidaying in Malta, you should definitely spend some time in Mdina, which is the former capital of Malta. Also known as the ‘Silent City’, unlock charm and culture as you navigate the winding cobblestone streets, which are home to incredible sights such as the Mdina Gate, which acts as the entrance point to this mediaeval city, and is instantly recognisable by Game of Thrones fans as the King’s Landing Gate.

The baroque Vilhena Palace is also worth a visit, with it housing the National Museum of Natural History; and Bastion Square, situated at the edge of the city, offers a panoramic view of pretty rolling hills.

FAQs

When’s the best time to visit Malta?

If you’re looking for a holiday that involves swimming and sunbathing, then the summer months are the best time to go, as temperatures are at their highest, and tourists flock to the island, creating a vibrant atmosphere like no other.

However, if you prefer to get away from the crowds, then book one of our Malta travel packages for between the months of March-May. The cooler climate makes it much easier to sightsee, and you’ll get to see the flowers in full bloom.

What’s the weather like in Malta?

Malta enjoys a mild climate year-round, although the months of June, July and August are the hottest, reaching highs of between 24-29 degrees Celsius. These months also experience very little rain, so it’s the perfect time for a beach holiday.

September, October, April, and May can still reach up to 20 degrees Celsius, making it the ideal time to go if you prefer hiking and sightseeing. That being said, even in the winter months, you’ll likely only need a light jacket, with average temperatures sitting at 16-19 degrees Celsius, although you may need an umbrella too, with average rainfall of eight days a month.

Do I require a visa for Malta?

UAE citizens who visit Malta for up to 90 days don’t need a visa, making it a convenient place to holiday – just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond the point you intend to stay in Malta, and you have proof of onward travel.

If you’re a UAE resident, and your nationality isn’t one which is exempt for the need of a visa to visit the Schengen area, you will need to apply for a visa ahead of your Malta holiday. When it comes to your application you’ll need to have the following:

• A passport that’s valid for at least six months after your stay, with at least two blank pages

• An application form that’s been provided by the Embassy of Malta, which is signed and dated by you

• Your valid UAE residency, which must be valid for at least three months beyond your Malta visa expiry, or the end of your holiday

• Photocopies of any previous Schengen visas you’ve held

• Two x recent colour photographs of yourself

• Where applicable, you may need a letter stating the intention of your travel, and the details of family members travelling with you

• Financial proof showing your income over the last three months

• Overseas travel insurance that covers the length of your stay, and has a minimum coverage of €30,000, including repatriation

• A copy of your return flights, hotel reservation, and itinerary of your plan in Malta

• Proof of employment. If you’re in full-time employment, you’ll need to submit a letter from your employer that includes their name, address, and phone number; as well as your position at the company, tenure, duration, salary, and confirmation that you’ll be returning to your duties when you get back from Malta. Alternatively, if you’re self-employed, you’ll need to provide either a valid trade licence or a title deed of the property you own in the UAE
