Etiquette Etiquette in Malta

Politeness and a calm, respectful tone matter in Malta, so greet people before asking for help, use please and thank you, and avoid being loud or pushy in shops, cafés, and on public transport. In more traditional settings, especially with older people or in village life, a brief handshake and a few words of courtesy go a long way, and dressing neatly is appreciated when visiting churches or family gatherings.
