Europe's smallest island nation is Malta. Although Malta has been a member of the European Union for several years, it is still largely undiscovered by German tourists. Malta has a lot of highlights to offer. In addition to a variety of attractions, the island offers wonderful beaches, great restaurants and an exciting nightlife. And besides, the prices are even more than affordable compared to islands like Ibiza or Mykonos. English is also the official language in Malta, which should make communication a lot easier. We took a close look at how you can best spend a holiday in Malta.
Discover La Valetta and Mdina
The two most famous cities in Malta are La Valetta and Mdina. La Valetta is the capital of the island and, above all, offers a wonderful old town that should not be missed. The highlight in La Valetta is St John's Co Cathedral. This wonderful church was built in the 16th century and is definitely worth a visit thanks to its beautiful vaults.
Not far from La Valetta are the Tarxien temples. These were built as early as 3150 BC and are a UNESCO cultural heritage. These temples give you the perfect opportunity to learn more about the history of the island. Incidentally, admission to the temple complex is € 6 per person.
The second urban attraction in Malta is the city of Mdina. The original capital of Malta mainly offers Roman excavations. It is particularly exciting to visit the large Roman catacombs that are several thousand years old.
Where to live in Malta
The question of accommodation in Malta arises because the island is quite spacious. If you want to be close to the sea and enjoy Malta's nightlife with restaurants and bars, then we recommend booking a hotel in Sliema. Sliema is not far from La Valetta and is the business center of Malta. Many offices and companies are located there, especially those in the gaming industry, such as the Sunmaker Casino. In addition to offices, Sliema offers a vibrant nightlife with many restaurants and great bars. A mix of locals and tourists meet there to enjoy one or two after work drinks.
Another attractive place with a good range of hotels and accommodation is St. Julian's Bay. This bay is not far from Sliema and offers a lot of hotels in different price categories. There are also plenty of cozy and delicious restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.
Car rental in Malta
As already mentioned, Malta is a small island, but still relatively extensive. In order to enjoy all the highlights of the island, it is advisable to rent a car on arrival. Cars can be rented directly at the airport from the well-known providers. In high season, cars can be rented from around € 20 per day.
The streets in Malta are relatively narrow and winding, so we recommend renting a smaller car. Large limousines or SUVs can also be a problem when looking for parking spaces. When booking your accommodation, also make sure that it offers parking.
There is also left-hand traffic in Malta. Keep this in mind if you are new to driving across the street. As an alternative to car rental, you also have the option of using the public bus lines. The bus system in Malta is well developed and extends over the entire island. A bus ticket for seven days is available for € 21.
Conclusion
If you feel like experiencing something other than Mallorca or Tenerife then the island of Malta is definitely worth a visit. In addition to wonderful cities such as La Valetta or Mdina with their numerous sights, Malta also offers wonderful beaches where you can relax and enjoy your time out. But if you want a vibrant nightlife and want to discover the island's bars and restaurants, just go to Sliema or St Julian's Bay. You will definitely find it here. All in all, Malta is definitely worth a visit. There are cheap flights to Malta almost every day from all major German airports.
