Malta at a Glance
Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta is a tiny gem often overlooked on maps. However, our warmth and hospitality far exceed our small size. With a land area of just 316km² and a population of just over half a million, Malta comprises five islands, three of which are inhabited: Malta, Gozo, and Comino.
Malta is a European Union member state, with our official currency being the Euro. Embracing our history, our linguistic prowess extends beyond English and Maltese, with many of us being adept in multiple languages like Italian and French, and sometimes even Spanish and German. Additionally, almost a third of the population are expats, giving the country a greater international dimension.

Our culinary heritage offers a delightful array of dishes, from rabbit and braġioli to our famous pastizzi and imqaret.
