The best time to travel to Malta is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) when the weather is pleasant, and the tourist crowds are smaller. These periods offer a good balance of warm temperatures and fewer visitors, making it ideal for exploring the island's beaches, historical sites, and cultural attractions. Summer boasts weekly and free festivals, and events, and if you want to mingle with the locals in Malta, there is nowhere better than at the Maltese village festa (or feast). Fireworks, food, and live music echos across the island in honor of these religious celebrations.
