How to Feel Safe as a Solo Female Traveler in Malta

Solo female travel is an empowering experience but safety is ever in the equation.Traveling to Malta by yourself, you will not regret that this is one of the safest places in Europe, particularly, if you are a female traveler.

 Making it a warm yet not overbearing destination, Malta is the perfect island with its relaxed ambiance, local people and fascinating history.

 Side note: Start your trip stress-free by booking meet and greet Heathrow.

Select Central and Accessible locations.

 Stay in lighted, central areas such as Valletta, Sliema or St. Julian. These are not only walking areas but also have people in the streets even late in the night.

 The public transport is good, yet there are rideshare services such as Bolt that are popular in case you do not feel safe using the bus at night.

 

Believe In Your Gut

 The Maltese are a generally warm and respectful people however, as it is in any place, trust your instincts. In case a chat does not work or a person is slightly too aggressive, just excuse yourself and leave.

 You do not belong to anybody and you do not have to waste time; more so when you are alone.

 

Wear What You Want, But Be Careful

 Malta is both culturally conservative and extremely casual in touristic areas. Dress how you like, although beachwear is perfectly acceptable on the coast, a light cover up would be sensible at religious sites or older towns like Mdina.

 

Be Digitally Safe As Well

 Have your phone charged, tell a friend your itinerary and use apps such as Google maps or Life360 to keep in touch. A lot of cafes and restaurants have Wi-Fi and SIM cards are not expensive and hard to obtain in case you need stable data.

 

Lembrar a Liberdade

 Probably the greatest thing about traveling alone is the discovery of your own ability. Be it exploring the narrow streets of Valletta or watching the sunset over the Blue Grotto, you will know that Malta is a place you can feel safe.
