Hey /r/malta, I've been meaning to put this together for a while because in my many years on this subreddit, I've noticed it seems to get more of the same questions and answers almost daily in summer, so hopefully this could be a good starting point for potential visitors to read and ask questions. I'll update this from time to time with more information.
Travel‑length tip: 7-10 days is ideal. Beyond that, plan slow travel, multiple excursions, or cross‑island hiking to avoid repetition.
| Period | Conditions | What to Wear | Swim? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan – Mar | 10–17 °C, windy, showers | Light jacket, jeans, layers | Rarely |
| Apr – Jun | 18–27 °C, warming | T‑shirts, shorts, light jacket evenings | Yes |
| Jul – Aug | 30–40 °C, humid | Swimwear, hat, ultra‑light clothing | Yes |
| Sep – Oct | 25–30 °C, warm, humid | Summer clothes, light jacket at night | Yes |
| Nov – Dec | 12–20 °C, cooler, rain spells | Light sweater, trousers | Rarely |
Mosquitoes are common, especially in humid months (April-October). Consider insect repellent, especially when staying near water or rural areas.
Sample daily costs (2025): espresso €1.50 · pint of beer €3 · bus fare €2.50 (summer) · Lunch / dinner €15 - €30.
Always pack high‑SPF sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water, especially in peak summer.
Any other questions? Feel free to drop below or create a thread. Happy visiting!

Please read the below before submitting weed related questions.
1) weed can only be purchased from registered cannabis organisations.
2) to purchase weed from an organisation as outlined above, one must be a registered member/ user. Associations will be capped at 500 members and preference is given to residents. One may only belong to one organisation at any given time and must be over the age of 18
3) by virtue of the above, the law clearly focuses on legalising it for residents. This means that since the law is equal for everyone, including tourists it is going to be very difficult for the latter to join such an organisation.
4) weed consumption in public remains an offence. Carrying over 7 g in public and owning more than 50 g are also a offence.
5) weed coffee shops do not exist, nor are they part of the plan. Weed tourism is not on the table.
6) purchasing off street dealers is and remains illegal
7) up to 4 plants can be grown for personal use as long as they are not visible from outside
8) weed related questions answered above are to be janitored
9) as always, any "where can I buy illegal substance x" posts are janitored on sight.
By popular request and with special thanks to /u/mountainblock for the initiative.

Clyde going hard after TCN and tourists:
Tourists staying in hotels will have to pay €8/night, capped at €64 per person. Tourists staying in a short-let rental (Airbnb or similar) must pay €10/night, capped at €80 per person. The new rates kick in on January 1, 2027.
Cruise liner tourists will also have to pay to visit Malta for the first time: There will be a €10/person fee introduced for such visitors. The fee will not apply to cruise liner passengers who board their cruise in Malta.
Tourists must pay €5 to go to Comino. Tourists will also be charged higher rates when catching the Gozo Fast Ferry (€10.50, up by €3 per passenger) or Gozo Channel (€11 per passenger, up from €4.65, or €22 for a vehicle and driver instead of €15.70).
Malta added 106,000 foreign workers in the past decade, he notes. Adult TCNs will have to pay a new €400/year fee, dubbed an “annual infrastructure contribution”. That will apply to both new applicants and those renewing their permit, and new workers applying to come to Malta will now be charged an €800 permit application fee (up from €600). There will also be increases in other Identita permit fees.
TCNs will no longer be eligible for free public transport. TCN drivers are to be charged a monthly €83 fee to keep their category B or B1 licence.
No free childcare for TCNs without long-term residency.
r/malta • u/TechnicianAmazing472 • 4h ago
33 euro a month for public transport, 90 euro a month if they have a car, 10 euro a day if they live in a hotel or an AirBnb, paying for child care they cannot even use, all on a 1000 euro wage.
I think the European Union will intervene at some point cause those conditions are tremendous.

I am looking a lot of Facebook posts inciting some kind of TCN-led strike to show how Malta is without them. Can it actually happen??

We foreigners work hard, contribute to the economy, and pay our taxes. Many of us aren’t even eligible for the same benefits as citizens, yet we still do our part.
Of course, like in every community, there are a few bad apples. But why should the actions of a few define how the rest of us are treated?
Most of us are simply trying to build better lives, work honestly, and contribute positively to the countries we now call home.
So why is there so much hatred towards us?
I’m genuinely asking because I really want to understand. I’d love to hear different perspectives on this.

Can't this be a way to start tackling our overpopulation? TCN's start seeing it as financially impossible to continue living here or for new TCN's to come and continue to aid in our plight.
My worry is that these people will be so desperate that they continue to live here under such degrading conditions so this 'solution' will only reduce their quality of life whilst increasing Governmental coffers.
Whislt I'm sure the increase in these taxes will help locals economy (assuming good governance of those finances lol), I'm worried that the real issue (our already poor infrastructure being decimated by overpopulation) will not be tackled.
Having said all this, I highly doubt this labour government is about to genuinely start dismantling the same capitalistic machine it put in place. Maybe that's just me being pessimistic. I do feel for the TCNs who this government brought here in the first place and is now throwing them under the bus. Tourists should have been taxed much higher imo

For people arguing about the change, I would like to point out that apart from not applying to long term residence, many can attest to the fact that before, when the bus used to cost 50 euros a month for students and would cost some 1.50 per 2 hours, it was still a loss maker.
r/malta • u/IntrovertedHuman_ • 5h ago
Hey guys! So a few of my friends and I are trying to plan a trip for mid/late July and we can't decide if Malta is actually the ideal destination.
We're all students so money is tight, especially since everything gets so much pricier in July everywhere. We don't care at all about anything fancy, just want somewhere cool where we can hang out for like 4-5 days without spending a fortune. If anyone knows roughly how much a day costs there in summer (food, getting around etc) that'd be super helpful honestly.
We've been leaning towards Malta for a while now but still have some doubts so wanted to ask people who've actually been. We're the type that likes walking around cities, checking out old streets and history and all that, not really a "lay on the beach all day" kind of group. Though if there are beaches actually worth going to we wouldn't mind chilling for a bit, and not sure if it's worth doing a day trip to Gozo too? Also since it's just us girls, feeling safe at night matters a lot to us, so if anyone has thoughts on where to stay that's both nice and safe (Valletta? Sliema? St Julian's?) please let us know.
Basically just wondering if 4-5 days are too much for Malta and how to make it worth the trip. I'm open for any tips/experiences of this type.
FOR THE MODS: Feel free to remove this if it violates some rule! :)

How do people make friends not from work? I recently moved back to malta after living abroad for a bit (24F Maltese) and since I am still looking for a job, I am yearning for maltese contact from friends.
I have friends from my ex job but most are busy all the time and have their own life and it’s normal to drift off after not working together anymore.
I enjoy anime, playing games such as fortnite, working out at the gym and would really like to go to events such as Comic Con, Playcon with someone and not alone.
Where can I find similair nerdy friends at this age?

Hi, I went to my local ironmongery and also checked online at homemate, but neither has wood insert nuts. They're usually m6. I also need nice m6 brass washers and bolts, again, I can only find steel. I would take stainless, but would prefer brass.
Anyone know where I can buy these? Happy to drive anywhere, just let me know if you've bought them and know that a certain place sells them.
Thanks!
EDIT for update:
Grima Ironmongery on triq naxxar in San Gwann sells them. SS bolts though, no brass one unfortunately.

Anyone have experience with tax bill relating purchases of property. For context got into a promise of sale few years ago. Due to serious health issues could not enter sale, issue cleared and I bought said property. Paid taxes related to the sale. Received a letter from perit tal gvern and substantially increased the value of my property because of the significant time lapse between pos and sale. Intend to appeal. Any pointers/ experiences?
