 | Malta Warnings or Dangers | Tips 1 - 10 of 89 |  |
If you are in Malta in the summer months the roads can get shiney with the heat and become very slippery.
Me, Emmeline and Ian were walking back to my Aunty's flat in Sliema down a steep bank called Triq G. Bencini, Ian tripped and slid forward down the bank he realy hurt his hand and dented his pride, it looked like he was on the cresta run, so me and Emmeline laughed but we laughed compassionatly.
A couple of days later Me and Emmeline were walking up Triq Manwel Dimech in Sliema when a German lady slipped on her arse, if it had been me I would laugh about it and get up but she glared at us and waited for us to help her up then said something in German I don't think it was nice ( she should learn to swear in English ) and we laughed as she got up off her arse this time no compassion Ha! Ha!
So take care it is easy to hurt yourself although on the plus side it is realy funny for the people watching. Leave a Comment

 Cats and Dogs by Bilimari
2. Strong wind in Winter months. I saw many people with broken umbrella.
3. Bring comfortable shoes so that you can enjoy those pre-historical sites, and beautiful beaches.
4. Cats are everywhere on the islands!!! Of course, I wanted to pet them, but not many of them were friendly.
5. Public buses with no doors. (or buses with doors, but left opened.) You don't want to stand near the door, just in case.
6. Currency exchange rate! LM1 was about $2.75 when I went there. (Jan. 2006)
7. Most shops close around 7pm-7:30pm even in Valletta. As soon as shops close, people go home and no one was on the street! Leave a Comment

The sea may look tempting to swim in but sometimes it can be dangerous. Always swim where other people are swimming and NEVER swim in a beach by yourself. For several reasons, be accompanied by a friend/partner. If you're on your own, your personal items could be stolen, or even worse you might need help and no one will know. Unfortunately we have casualties every year most often by naive tourists. In winter the temperature may be warm, but the sea will still be very cold. This will result in Hypothermia or a heart attack. Unseen underwater currents, or strong waves may put you in jeopardy if you're not a very good swimmer. Leave a Comment

 View to Selmun Palace, Malta by Myndo
Driving in Malta can be dangerous, the road conditions can change very fast.
The roads are often quite narrow.
You drive on the left side of the road (I often joked: thatīs because there are too many potholes on the right side), but you have to be aware, that other cars tend to drive around the potholes and get on your side.
Also at night some cars donīt have all the proper lights on (maybe because they are busted) so be very careful when driving in the dark.
Around Valetta you can find some "bumpers" on the road to slow traffic. Beware, because they are sometimes not lighted whatsoever. Leave a Comment

I suppose that it is not the problem for people from England but for the people from other countries it could be a problem. You should remember that the sockets in Malta are similar to English ones so you have to take the adapter going there. Leave a Comment

 R.T.O. Sign by tophat30
My word is, if possible stay out of the RTO areas, and if you're adventurous enough to play dumb, excuse yourself if confronted by a hunter. He won't shoot you if you say you didn't know. :)

 To the ferry in Valletta by Kushelkitten
Either wait the rain out at a cafe or take the bus you will be glad you did.
One can see from the picture how steep it is on the way to the ferry dock. Leave a Comment

The only thing you can do is just TRYING NOT TO GET INVOLVED... Leave a Comment

 Rabat Backstreet by steventilly
Malta felt to me like the safest place I had visited. We didn't see anything remotely threatening anywhere that we went, even in the backstreets of large and small towns. All we saw was some fascinating "lived in" areas and very very friendly people.
