It depends. Some parts like Valletta or older towns are very hilly, and the sidewalks can be narrow. But if you’re up for a little exercise, the views make it worth the climb. Just wear comfy shoes.

Oh yes. Malta has a strong café culture. I found this spot near a historic gate and just sat there people-watching. You’ll see a mix of Italian espresso culture and Maltese hospitality.

Definitely yes, especially in areas like Sliema. I walked this boardwalk multiple times, morning and evening, and never once felt unsafe. Locals mind their business, and tourists blend in easily.

Yes, and you should if you can. I took a short harbor cruise and got views like this. There’s something magical about seeing Malta’s forts and harbors from the water. It’s peaceful and scenic.

You’ll spot them everywhere. These colorful enclosed balconies are more than decoration. They tell stories of family life, architecture, and tradition. They give Malta its character. I couldn’t stop photographing them.
