Winter in Malta
Spending winter in Malta means more than simply swapping the chilly months of north Europe for a warmer climate. The Maltese lifestyle, hospitality and rich history are not to be underestimated.
There is so much to explore on this small island that it has been described as a microcosm of the history of the Mediterranean. From unique prehistoric temples - said to be the oldest free standing structures in the world - to fascinating Roman, Norman and baroque architecture, to magnificent churches and palaces, to theatre, art, classical and contemporary music and nightlife to suit all tastes and levels of stamina, Malta has a lot more to offer than your typical bucket and spade destination and the best time of year to immerse yourself into the local culture - without the chaos of the million-odd tourists who descend on the islands during the peak season - is from autumn to spring.
