Malta
Best Time to Visit Attard
Attard, inland Malta, has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The best time to visit balances comfortable temperatures with fewer crowds, making spring and autumn the standout seasons.
✦ Go in April or October for the best balance of good weather and lighter crowds.
✅ Best months
April and October. April offers warm days (around 20°C) and blooming gardens, while October has similar temperatures with the tail-end of sea swimming. Crowds are manageable in both.
🔥 Peak season
July and August. The hottest months, with temperatures often above 30°C, draw heavy crowds for the summer holidays. Hotel prices can double, driven by beach tourism and the Malta International Fireworks Festival in April/May causes a spike, but July/August remain the peak.
💷 Shoulder (best value)
May and September. Flights and hotels are cheaper than summer, weather is still warm (22-28°C), and crowds are lighter. San Anton Gardens and the nearby towns are far less busy.
🌙 Quietest & cheapest
December to February. The quietest and cheapest months, but expect cooler weather (10-15°C) and some rain. Many indoor attractions remain open, though day trips can be affected by storms.

🎭 Events worth timing a trip around
Festa ta' San Anton (early June) – a local village feast with processions and fireworks. The Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival (August/September) also draws cultural visitors.
🧳 What to pack
Pack layers for the cool evenings even in summer; the lack of sea breeze in inland Attard means a light jacket or wrap is essential from dusk.
