Malta

In 1996, Malta celebrated its first gay pride. Since then the city has developed a thriving though small gay and lesbian scene. If you’re on vacation and want some fun in the sun, Malta is the ideal destination.
If you’re planning a trip to the Land of Honey, the best time of year to visit is during the summer months from April to October. Malta has a typical Mediterranean climate characterized by a dry summer season and a mild rainy winter season with occasional fog from November to March.
Homosexuality is legal in Malta, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex married couples.
There are a small handful of gay and lesbian bars on the island, including ‘Tom’s Bar’, located in Floriana. This is the oldest gay club in Malta. Another popular gay club is ‘Klozett’ in Paceville.
