Time difference Malta

Malta time is the same as in France

Opening hours Malta

To see / To do Malta

Some of Malta's sites and museums have been brought together under the umbrella of Heritage Malta. Most are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and open from 9am to 5pm. But this may vary between museums and sites (check their websites at the last minute) and according to the season. Generally speaking, everything is closed on December 24, 25, 31, January1 and Good Friday. Groups prefer morning visits, so avoid them if you want to be more relaxed.

Enjoying yourself Malta

In Malta, we don't dine too early or too late. We start at 7.30-8pm but the meal never lasts long. Going to a restaurant is a serious outing, business lunch at noon, family dinner in the evening. Anyway, we won't go past 11pm. In Valletta, many establishments only serve lunch but the good tables of the island, open in the evening, are frequented by tourists and Maltese, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. And very often, it is preferable to make reservations, especially for the evening meal

Take a break Malta

To have a drink during the day, accompanied or not by a sweet, you can choose between the kiosks by the sea, the cafeterias or the classic cafés, generally open from 10 am for the most touristic places, earlier if they are also frequented by Maltese people who have breakfast there. For the after hours, it will be necessary to head for the Sliema or St Julian's districts

(To) please yourself Malta

Most shops and shopping centres are open during the week, from 9am to 1pm and from 4pm to 7pm, although in some tourist areas they may be open until 10pm or even midnight, especially in the summer. They are closed on Sundays, public holidays and often on Saturday afternoons. The markets, as for them, are rather morning markets and end around 13h. The attendance is higher on Friday and Saturday mornings

Get out Malta

Bars usually close at 1am but much later in a busy neighbourhood like Paceville where they empty around 4 or 5am. If you go out in the evening, the animation is at its maximum on Friday and Saturday. Most of the discos open their doors at 10 pm and there are quickly crowded
