Current Travel Situation
Belgium to Malta: What You Need to Know
Belgium and Malta are EU partners. Malta, the smallest EU member, is a warm-weather destination popular with Belgians seeking Mediterranean sun and diving. English is an official language alongside Maltese, making it easy for Belgian visitors. Malta joined the EU in 2004 and the Schengen Area in 2007.
How to Get There
Brussels Airport (BRU) has direct flights to Malta (MLA) with Air Malta, Ryanair, and Brussels Airlines. Brussels-South Charleroi (CRL) also offers routes. Flight time is approximately 2.5 hours.
Money & Banking
Malta uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted. Tipping 5-10% at restaurants is appreciated though not obligatory.
Practical Tips
Malta is tiny: the main island can be crossed in under an hour. Valletta (a UNESCO World Heritage City) and the Blue Lagoon on Comino are top sights. Book the Blue Lagoon boat tour early in summer as it gets extremely busy. English is spoken everywhere, making navigation effortless for Belgians.
