Valletta is Malta’s lilliputian capital, built by the Knights of St John on a peninsula that’s only 1km by 600m.
Its founder decreed that it should be ‘a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen’, and it retains its 16th-century elegance. It may be small, but it’s packed full of sights; when Unesco named Valletta a World Heritage site, it described it as ‘one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world’.
With its age-old bastions, ornate architecture, and bustling cobbled streets, still very much in action today, Valletta is the ideal amalgamation of history and modern life. Aptly coined in 2018 as the European Capital of Culture, there are tons to see and do in this spectacular City, founded in the sixteenth Century by the Knights of St John.
Whether gazing at the Three Cities from the breathtaking Barrakka Gardens, dining at one of its outstanding eateries, or drooling over the Caravaggio in St John’s Co-cathedral, the only stressful thing about a trip to Valletta is trying to fit it all in!
With its central location smack-dab in the middle of the Mediterranean and its excellent flight connections , not to mention its vast array of attractions all within close proximity to one another, Malta is the ideal holiday location for anyone wishing to take a few days in paradise. Whether it’s adventure, culture, gastronomy or simply pampering that you’re craving, you’ll find everything you need at your fingertips.
Malta’s sister island, Gozo
Is definitely worth a visit, either as a stand-alone destination or else for a day trip, using one of the ferry-boats connecting the islands. Definitely a quainter alternative to the mainland, with more green areas, Gozo is more sparsely populated and yet offers a myriad of attractions for the young and young at heart! A 25-minute ferry trip from the Cirkewwa terminal, found in the North of Malta, or a 45-minute ferry from the capital city Valletta, provides visitors and locals alike an experience of a more rural way of life.
