For such a small island, Malta is a historically important destination. The architects from each different era have left a quality of buildings that can only be matched by a few European destinations. Malta’s 120 square miles are easy to navigate, so cheap car hire in Malta is recommended.

Malta has dry, hot summers, so it should come as no surprise that this time is peak season. Few tourists come to Malta in winter, yet the island’s winter seasons are relatively mild compared to countries further north. However, Malta does experience some rain during the winter.

A large number of people inhabit Malta considering the size of the island. However, travellers shouldn’t be deterred from exploring with car hire in Malta. The number of beautiful churches amazes tourists and should they want a change of scenery, informative museums can be found. Many of them are located in the island’s capital, Valletta.

Although, tourists will be very satisfied by the churches and museums they visit, several palaces will not go unnoticed by history enthusiasts. The president of Malta now lives in the former Grandmaster’s Palace, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that is Valletta. When visitors are ready to leave, some of them choose to drive the five miles to St Julian’s with car rental in Malta.

St Julian’s is a lively resort by the sea; unfortunately it doesn’t have a sandy beach. The area by the sea is quite rocky. Being an international resort, the food is varied, so tourists who aren’t keen on Mediterranean food won’t go hungry.
