Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lija?
The best area to stay in Lija is around the Parish Church of Our Saviour, as this is the historic and social heart of the village.

This central area is characterised by its traditional Maltese architecture, with narrow, winding streets and honey-coloured limestone buildings. The Parish Church, a prominent landmark, is surrounded by a few local shops, cafes, and the well-maintained Lija Belvedere Tower and gardens. It's a very peaceful part of the village, offering a true sense of local life.

For couples seeking a relaxing and authentic Maltese experience, staying near the Parish Church is ideal. You'll enjoy quiet evenings, strolls through the charming streets, and easy access to the village's main points of interest. It's a great base for unwinding and experiencing Maltese culture away from more bustling tourist areas.

While Lija itself is a small, residential village, its central location within Malta makes it a convenient base for exploring the island by car.
When is the best time to go to Lija?
The best time to visit Lija is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

During spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This period avoids the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter. Wildflowers are in bloom, and the island is lush and green, making it ideal for exploring the village and its surroundings on foot. It's a great time for couples seeking a comfortable and picturesque visit without the peak season crowds.

Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 20°C and 28°C, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming until late October. This season provides a good balance of agreeable weather and fewer tourists compared to the summer. Foodies might particularly enjoy autumn, as it coincides with local harvest festivals and offers opportunities to sample fresh seasonal produce.

While summer (July and August) is hot and sunny, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
