What to Do in Malta in Spring: Best Activities for International Students

Spring is one of the best times to experience Malta as an international student. The weather starts getting warmer, the island feels more alive, and you can enjoy Malta before the busy summer season begins.

If you are studying English abroad, spring is the perfect balance between classes, beach days, exploring the island, and meeting people from all over the world.

Explore Valletta and the Three Cities

Spring is perfect for walking around Malta’s historic streets without the intense summer heat. Valletta is full of beautiful views, cafés, gardens, and small hidden corners worth exploring.

Just across the harbor, the Three Cities offer a quieter and more local atmosphere — especially during sunset.

And at night, Valletta becomes even more special. The city lights, live music, and sea views create one of the best evening atmospheres in Malta.

One of the biggest advantages of studying English in Malta is having beaches everywhere around you.

During spring, students already start spending afternoons and weekends in places like Golden Bay, Riviera Beach, Mellieħa Bay, and St Peter’s Pool.

The best part? Beaches are usually much quieter than during summer.

Visit Mdina — The Silent City

Mdina is one of the most beautiful places to visit during spring. The peaceful streets, historic buildings, and panoramic views make it feel completely different from the rest of the island.

It is also one of the best spots in Malta for evening walks and photos.

Discover Malta’s Café Culture

Sliema and St Julian’s are full of cafés where students can study, relax, or meet friends after lessons.

During spring, outdoor cafés become even more enjoyable, especially around sunset time.

Try Outdoor Activities Around the Island

One of the best parts about studying abroad is experiencing the country outside the classroom too.

Throughout spring, IELS students can join activities and excursions such as:

• Valletta By Night Tour

• Mdina By Night Tour

• Gozo & Comino trips

• Horse Riding Adventures

• Trekking activities

• Sicily day trips

These activities are a great way to discover Malta, meet other students, and practise English in real-life situations.

Night activities are also a big part of student life. Quiz nights, karaoke nights, movie nights, pizza nights, and social events help students connect naturally from the very beginning.
