Guide for a ferry trip between Italy and Malta

Malta: Visit the country after your ferry crossing

Valletta
Your first stop is undoubtedly Valletta, Malta's historic capital. Lose yourself in the cobbled streets of this fortified city and admire its grandiose Baroque architecture. Don't miss the Palace of the Grand Masters, a masterpiece of medieval art, and St John's Cathedral, home to the famous works of Caravaggio. Explore the Upper Barrakka Gardens for a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour.

Mdina
Next, head for Mdina, the old capital perched on a hill. Known as the "Silent City", Mdina transports you back in time with its narrow streets, medieval palaces and impressive churches. Visit St Paul's Cathedral and enjoy the serenity of this unspoilt city, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Malta: When is the best time to go?

The best time to travel to Malta is undoubtedly spring, from March to May. During this period, the weather is mild and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. The days are longer and the beaches less crowded, allowing you to relax and take full advantage of the island's magnificent coastline. What's more, nature is in full bloom, offering a magnificent landscape to explore on your walks.

Summer, from June to August, is also a good time to visit Malta. Temperatures are warm, averaging between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for enjoying the beaches and crystal-clear sea. However, you should be aware that this is also the busiest time for tourists, so popular places like Valletta and the beaches can get very crowded.
