About Malta

Malta may be small, but its 7,000-year history, Mediterranean landscapes and distinctive culture offer plenty to discover, from ancient cities and temples to beaches, villages and lively waterfronts.

Explore historic streets, dramatic coastlines, traditional fishing villages and Malta’s sister islands, Gozo and Comino, all within easy reach during your stay.

Begin with Valletta, Malta’s UNESCO-listed capital, home to St John’s Co-Cathedral, the Upper Barrakka Gardens and views across the Grand Harbour. Nearby, discover the fortified cities of Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua, or wander through the atmospheric streets of Mdina and Rabat.

Beyond the cities, Malta’s coastline offers everything from the views at Dingli Cliffs to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk and the beaches around Mellieħa. In Qawra and St Paul’s Bay, enjoy the seafront, visit the Malta National Aquarium and discover nearby dining and leisure venues including La Nave and Café del Mar Malta.

For a different side of the Maltese Islands, take a trip to Gozo, known for its countryside, Citadel, temples and beaches, or visit Comino for its crystal-clear waters and the famous Blue Lagoon. Malta is also home to remarkable prehistoric sites including the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, Ħaġar Qim, Mnajdra and Għar Dalam.
