Did you know? Malta

Until 2008, the document in a Maltese wallet was worth a small fortune. The Maltese lira, retired only when Malta joined the euro on 1 January 2008, was the second most valuable currency unit on Earth, beaten only by the Kuwaiti dinar: a single lira fetched about US$3.16 in April 2007. The conversion rate was fixed at one euro to roughly 0.4293 lira, so each note exchanged was worth more than two euros. For a republic smaller than many cities, owning the planet's runner-up currency was a quiet point of pride that few travellers ever realised.

  • Currency Just before adopting the euro, the Maltese lira was the world's second-highest-valued currency unit after the Kuwaiti dinar, worth about US$3.16 in April 2007.
  • Passport The Maltese passport ranked 7th in the world on the 2025 Henley Passport Index, giving holders visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 188 destinations.
  • Language Maltese is the only Semitic language that is an official language of the European Union, written in Latin script and descended from the Arabic spoken on Sicily a thousand years ago.
  • Flag Malta's flag carries the George Cross, awarded to the whole island by King George VI in 1942, making it one of only two national flags to display a British gallantry medal.
  • Ancient records The Ġgantija temples on Gozo were raised around 3600 BC, making them older than Egypt's pyramids and among the oldest free-standing stone buildings on Earth.
  • Geography Malta is the smallest country in the European Union by both area and population, yet also its most densely populated, with roughly 1,780 people per square kilometre.
  • Capital Valletta is the smallest national capital in the EU, packing 320 monuments into just 0.55 square kilometres of fortified streets.
  • Eurozone Malta joined the euro on 1 January 2008, less than four years after entering the EU, locking the lira at the irrevocable rate of one euro to 0.4293 lira.
  • Demographics Nearly three in ten residents are now foreign nationals, with Italians the largest group at around 14,000, ahead of British, Indian and Filipino communities.
