Frequently asked questions about hostels in Malta
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Malta?
For backpackers, Malta offers plenty of budget-friendly options. Exploring the historic Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua) by ferry is inexpensive and offers stunning views of Valletta. Walking around Valletta itself is free, and you can admire the city's architecture and fortifications at your own pace. Many beaches, like Golden Bay or Ghajn Tuffieha, are free to access, though you might pay for sunbeds and umbrellas. Hiking up to the Upper Barrakka Gardens for panoramic views is also free.
Navigating the roads in Malta can be challenging for some, especially in Valletta and other older towns with narrow, winding streets. Driving is on the left, and parking can be limited and expensive, particularly in popular tourist areas. Public transport, including buses, is a relatively affordable and efficient alternative, especially for exploring the island's various towns and villages.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Malta?
How can travellers best respect local customs while in Malta?
Respectful behaviour in Malta involves dressing modestly when visiting religious sites, being mindful of noise levels, especially in residential areas, and learning a few basic Maltese phrases. It's also appreciated to be patient and polite when interacting with locals.
Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Malta?
Malta boasts several vibrant festivals. The most prominent include the feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck in February/March in Valletta and the numerous village feasts (festa) held throughout the summer months, each honouring a different patron saint with processions, fireworks and music. These are colourful and engaging events that showcase the island's religious and cultural heritage.
For a week-long stay, consider basing yourself in Valletta for its historical significance and convenient access to other locations. Alternatively, St Julian's offers a lively atmosphere with beaches and nightlife, while exploring the quieter, more traditional villages in Gozo provides a different experience altogether. A balance between Valletta and Gozo might be ideal.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Malta?
A weekend in Malta could be spent exploring Valletta, with its rich history and stunning architecture. Alternatively, focusing on the St Julian's area would allow for beach time and a taste of Malta's nightlife. Gozo is also a viable option for a relaxing weekend away from the hustle of the main island.
Are there specific regions in Malta known for great weather?
Malta enjoys a Mediterranean climate, so most areas experience pleasant weather, especially during the summer months. However, microclimates exist, and some areas may be slightly warmer or cooler than others. There isn't one specific region significantly better than others for weather, but the southern areas tend to be sunnier.
