Seasons

spring is best, high summer perhaps too hot for strenuous walking: winter walking is fine, but it can be rainy and even a little cold

Centres

Malta is about the same size as the Isle of Wight, so anywhere will make a fine base for walking

Difficulty

half and full-day walks, usually easy, but with some longer stretches along the clifftops

Must See

Old Valetta (a World Heritage Site); excellent walking on clifftop coastlines away from the towns; the historic buildings and landmarks of the many peoples who have come to Malta; the circuit of Comino
