Weather

A classic dry-summer rhythm shapes the year — hot, largely rain-free stretches around July giving way to milder, wetter conditions by December. In May, expect highs around 24°C with rain on roughly 3 days of the month.

Things to Do

Valletta's Baroque fortifications, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Blue Lagoon's swimming spots are the main draws.

Local Cuisine

Try pastizzi and rabbit stew, Maltese staples with Sicilian and Arab influences.
