Malta is one of the most friendly destinations in the Mediterranean. It’s been regularly voted as the most welcoming for gay and lesbian travellers in many indexes. It has Europe’s most progressive laws when it comes to gay rights. Travelling as a same-sex couple in Malta is very easy.
Well known for multiple historic sites, it was the place ruled by the Romans, Moors, Knights of Saint John, French and British. With numerous fortresses and other incredible temples you’ll also find a vast subterranean complex of halls and burial chambers.
As well as a dazzling cultural heritage, Malta is a year-round destination. As winter descends and even hot destinations become cold, Malta is one of the best places to go to find some winter sun. As Malta is small you can see many of the islands’ highlights in one trip.

General Information
Malta’s tiny capital city Valletta is full of charm. It’s the smallest capital in the whole of Europe so you can make your way around it in less than a day. The city was built by the Knights of Malta after they successfully warded off an attack by the Ottomans. The Turks may have taken Byzantium and came close to the gates of Vienna, but tiny Malta held firm. Consequently, Malta still has a justifiably outsize sense of itself.
There are plenty of excellent hotels to choose from in Malta. It’s very much geared towards tourism. When you’re ready to explore you’ll have to see some of the cultural highlights, such as St Paul’s Catacombs and the Caravaggio paintings.
One of the strangest, most exotic sites in Malta is Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum. Here you can see cave paintings that are even older than the pyramids. Once you’ve had your culture fix, you can head to Paceville and discover Malta’s nightlife.
What Everyone Does In Malta
Take a stroll around Valletta. Be sure to visit the City Gates. The walls were built in the 16th-century but the gateway was redesigned by Renzo Piano, the architect behind the Shard. There are plenty of little cafes and bars to try in Valletta.
What Some People Do In Malta
Party in Paceville. Malta is one of the most gay friendly destinations on earth. It’s got a fairly small gay scene – most of which is centred around Paceville. Malta is very peaceful and ideal for relaxation. That being said, should you care to let your hair down you certainly have options.
What No One Else Does In Malta
Take a trip deep into the past at Mnajdra Temple and Hagar Qim. These temples are so ancient they pre-date the pyramids of Giza by 1000 years. Egypt and Greece don’t have a monopoly on very old things.
