Valletta - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
Not just off the street, but if you have another intersecting point with locals we've made some nice friends. We have lovely Maltese neighbors across the street who have invited us over several times and I'm good friends with Maltese I met at my school last year. - Sep 2025
The Maltese are warm and welcoming; you can certainly make friends if you want to. The Maltese are generally not racist, but the country has a serious issue with migrants and there have been some issues with violence against non-Maltese. There were no issues for the Americans living in Malta when I was there. - May 2023
