About Malta

Contrary to popular belief, Malta is a group of 5 islands rather than one island alone. However, the main island of Malta is home to the capital of Valletta and the bulk of the archipelago’s 550,000+ population. Because of its strategic location south of Italy and north-west of Africa, Malta played an important role in the Second World War.

It was an Allied base and Malta received a George Cross award for its bravery. After WWII, there came a push for independence. Malta became part of the Commonwealth in 1964 and a republic 10 years later. In 2004, it joined the EU.

English is one of two official languages in Malta. The cuisine meanwhile is a blend of Arabic and Italian influences. In terms of visa-free access, you can travel to 175 destinations with a Malta passport.
