The
beautiful city of Valetta is Malta’s
capital, located on the central eastern side
of the island. Modern and Baroque styled
architecture blends together in Valetta; a
city listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage
Site. Often thought of as an open air
museum, you will find the finest palaces in
Valetta as well as museums, statues, St
John’s Cathedral with its priceless
collection of 17th century tapestries and
art works. In Valetta you will find there
are several theatres and art galleries, the
historic conference centre, and a number of
fortifications built by the Knights of St
John many centuries ago. The Valetta
peninsula is fed by two natural harbours;
Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. Grand
Harbour is one of the most impressive on the
Mediterranean and as there is a cruise liner
terminal there, you will find a number of
duty free stores as well. Quaint cafes and
stylish restaurants are dotted throughout
the small streets of Valetta and around the
many piazzas; there is never a second to
spare, so relish these moments, enjoying the
local cuisine and wines. For great views
over Valetta’s harbours, head to the
gardens of Hastings, Lower Barrakka or Upper
Barrakka. To discover more of the Maltese
islands, why not take the passenger ferry to
the north east town of Sliema or hire a car
to explore inland Malta? Book your low cost
