Malta makes for a great destination throughout the year. The temperature continues to drop during November but remains comparatively warmer to most of Europe, making it explorable during this time of the year. While it’s true that there will be some wet and chilly days, you will encounter plenty of bright and sunny ones during this time. 

 Although many think of Malta as a summer paradise, November is an ideal time to discover its highlights. The Maltese Islands are buzzing with cultural festivities in the run up to Christmas; it’s a great time to explore museums, historical sites and events and entertainment, as well as different restaurants and cafés where one can get to savour traditional culinary delights. Don’t miss out on this month’s ‘bones of the dead’; almond cookies shaped like bones that are traditionally eaten on 2 November, in celebration of ‘All Souls Day’. Because affter all, food is one of the best parts about celebrating, well… anything. 

Be it a sightseeing tour of the capital city, a trip to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, and a hiking trip to the sister island of Gozo, there are lots of activities to enjoy in Malta in November.
