Explore the small but mighty Malta

Malta’s petite but perfectly formed islands are packed full of intense history, mixed cultures and creative inspiration. Its rocky coastline and limestone cliffs are punctuated with hidden coves, red-gold beaches and crystal clear waters. From prehistoric temples to medieval fortresses, or rustic villages emerging from rock faces to modern marinas, you can almost witness humanity through the ages. Visitors can spend their time simply enjoying the islands’ natural beauty, learn more about its fascinating past in the many museums or be inspired by its contemporary creativity through its diverse array of galleries. Let the welcoming locals take you under their wing and spoil you with their festivals, traditions and fusion of Sicilian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Whether you prefer scuba diving or rock climbing, wandering around a 5000-year-old necropolis or a modern art museum, lazing on the beach or exploring hidden streets, Malta has it all.

Step back in time to medieval Mdina

Malta’s perfectly positioned lands have been much fought over for many centuries and the hilltop fortress of Mdina is a prime example of its defensive past. In great contrast to modern coastline, Mdina offers visitors a chance to escape the hubbub and experience life as it once was in this Arabic walled city. Often referred to as the Silent City, you can peacefully wander its shady streets and hidden lanes whilst discovering its impressive mix of Baroque and medieval architecture, including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Palazzo Falson. The fortification’s Ditch Garden is also home to many festivals, foods fairs and concerts throughout the year.
Visit Valletta, packed with history and promise

Not only is Valletta Malta’s capital, it was also awarded the title of European Capital of Culture in 2018 and it is not hard to see why. The city’s 16th century elegance has been revitalised with contemporary designs and modern architecture. Some gems include the floating stone squares of the Parliament building and the lovingly restored Opera House. Next, discover the secrets of WWII 40 metres underground in the Lascaris War Rooms and then take the Upper Barrakka Lift for stunning panoramas of the surrounds. A ferry across the Grand Harbour also makes for a magical experience.
Settle for a slice of luxury in Sliema and St Julian’s

Malta’s collection of cosmopolitan districts, including Sliema and St Julian’s, is the place to go for the finest of dining, to shop ‘til you drop and to really let your hair down. St Julian’s, once a sleepy fishing village, is now a waterfront expanse of five-star restaurants and resorts, whilst the more exclusive-feel Sliema is the perfect location for peaceful relaxation. The seafront promenade connecting the two offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the streets are home to some interesting historic buildings, such as the Palazzo Spinola and the Villa Dragonara. You can also pop across to Manoel Island with its seasonal fun-fair.
Conquer Comino Island

This chunk of limestone in between Malta and Gozo was once thought to be a hideout for pirates and smugglers. Now its car-free roads, white sands and clear waters are the perfect draw for those looking for a true slice of paradise. This peaceful nature reserve and bird sanctuary is truly worth exploring, without fear of getting lost. As well as the land dwellings such as St Mary’s Tower, there is also an expansive coastline of impressive sea caves and cliffs, not to mention the aptly named Blue Lagoon for a spot of snorkelling. The more adventurous may even wish to swim across to the uninhabited islet of Cominotto.
