Malta experiences a Mediterranean climate, which is why it generally has mild winters, and the weather, although not guaranteed, can be favourable with bright sunny days for anyone looking forward to a trip full of sightseeing during the day time. This is why December is the ideal month for exploring hotspots that get crowded in sunnier months. 

If you do get caught by those annoying rainy days, there are more than enough museums and activities to keep you indoors and dry, alternatively you can pack a good raincoat and continue exploring.  If you’re willing to step off the beaten track, you’ll discover some breathtaking places still unknown to most tourists.  

The island is always a highlight during the Christmas season, with a vibrant and exciting atmosphere and each town and village in full festive swing, with brightly lit streets, fairs popping up everywhere and kids’ activities on the agenda.  

Malta’s capital city Valletta and the main cultural hub of the island, is definitely the place to be. Its historic streets are decorated and you’ll find a wide array of Christmas themed attractions and many opportunities to sample local products. 

 We couldn’t be happier to welcome you home!
