Discover Malta
Malta is a compact Mediterranean archipelago where 7,000 years of history sit beside some of the clearest swimming water in Europe. Everything is close: Valletta’s baroque streets, the silent old capital of Mdina, and the laid-back sister island of Gozo are all a short hop apart, and English is an official language.
The islands are made for swimming, diving and coastal walks rather than mountains — the terrain is low and rocky. Sliema and St Julian’s are the modern hubs for dining and nightlife, Marsaxlokk is the classic fishing-village day out, and Gozo and tiny Comino (the Blue Lagoon) deliver the postcard beaches.
Top places in Malta
- Valletta — The fortified baroque capital — St John’s Co-Cathedral, harbour views and UNESCO streets.
- Mdina — The walled “silent city”, the medieval former capital, best at golden hour.
- Gozo & the Blue Lagoon (Comino) — Rural sister island plus Comino’s turquoise lagoon — Malta’s best swimming.
- Sliema & St Julian’s — Seafront promenades, shopping and the heart of the dining-and-nightlife scene.
- Marsaxlokk — Colourful luzzu fishing boats and a Sunday fish market — the classic village day trip.
