Malta also offers an excellent lifestyle for language students, with numerous opportunities to meet new people from around the world.

In the evenings, try St. Julian’s, Malta’s entertainment hub, where you can find lively bars, clubs, and cafés just a short walk from EC Malta. For something more relaxed, enjoy a seaside dinner at Spinola Bay or watch the sunset at Dingli Cliffs.

If you like staying active, Malta has a lot to offer. You can hike, participate in watersports, and enjoy beach activities like volleyball with your classmates. The island’s excellent climate allows for outdoor adventures all year round.

Food is a big part of travel and a great way to experience a new culture. In Malta, you’ll want to try the local cuisine: it’s a delicious mix of Mediterranean, Italian, and North African influences. Don’t miss the seafood!

Malta is perfect for history lovers. The islands are home to numerous ancient sites, ranging from prehistoric temples older than the pyramids to medieval cities. Walk through ancient streets and explore forts, cathedrals and museums to learn about Malta’s fascinating history.
