Current Travel Situation
Uzbekistan to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta is a small island nation in the central Mediterranean, south of Sicily and north of Libya. It is a full Schengen and EU member. Uzbek citizens require a Schengen visa to visit. Malta is known for its extraordinary concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a tiny area (316 km²): the prehistoric temples of Ggantija (older than Stonehenge), the ancient city of Mdina, the Baroque capital Valletta (European Capital of Culture 2018), and the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum underground burial chamber. Malta also has Azure Window (now collapsed), the Blue Lagoon on Comino island, and a strong diving culture in its crystal-clear Mediterranean waters.
How to Get There
Malta's compact size (it takes 1.5 hours to drive across the entire island) means it is best combined with a broader Mediterranean trip. Sicily (30 minutes by fast ferry from Valletta), Italy (2-hour flight to Rome or Milan), and Greece (2-hour flight) are natural extensions using the same Schengen visa. Gozo (Malta's sister island) is accessible by a 25-minute ferry from Malta and has a more rural, tranquil character.
Money & Banking
Malta uses the euro (EUR). Card payments are widely accepted throughout Malta. Malta is moderately priced by Mediterranean standards — slightly cheaper than Italy but more expensive than Eastern Europe. Accommodation ranges from budget hostels (EUR 20-35/night) to boutique hotels in Valletta (EUR 80-200/night). Malta's cost of living rose significantly during the 2010s due to iGaming industry growth. The excellent local wine (Meridiana, Marsovin) and pastizzi (savory pastry) are must-tries.
Practical Tips
Malta drives on the left side of the road (British heritage , Malta was a British colony until 1964). The island has an excellent public bus network. English is an official language alongside Maltese, making communication easy. Malta is hot and sunny from May to October (best beach season); winter is mild but occasionally rainy. The Valletta waterfront is walkable. WWII history is prominent , Malta received the George Cross for its resistance during the Siege of Malta. The Blue Lagoon on Comino island is the most photographed spot in Malta; arrive early to avoid crowds.
