Wedged between southern Italy and the coast of North Africa, Malta is easily overlooked in favour of its popular neighbours, except you\u2019ll find more to see, do and experience here than you first thought.<\/p>\n You can flit between beaches, adventure nature havens, historical landmarks, and cultural relics in a single day via a comprehensive public transport system on land and water, but where do you begin?<\/p>\n This Malta guide navigates you around the island, taking in the top attractions, viewpoints, walled cities, and culinary highlights across this 316-square-metre landmass, split into north and south for easy planning.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Best Places to Visit in Malta \u2013 20 Island Hotspots to See<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Arabs once occupied Malta for over 200 years before it became a part of the Roman Empire. It was later ceded to the Knights of St John for protection, who transformed it over 268 years with baroque architecture, palaces, churches, fortifications and aqueducts.<\/p>\n The Knights protected the island from the Ottoman Turks before it fell briefly to French rule with the arrival of Napoleon in 1798. Malta then called upon the British for assistance, becoming a part of the British Empire. However, its strategic location and alliance meant Malta suffered heavily during World War II \u2013 making it one of Europe\u2019s most heavily bombed areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Malta gained independence in 1964 and later joined the EU in 2004.<\/p>\n In short, Malta once adopted a Semitic language (which is still prevalent today), has elements of Italian culture and cuisine due to its proximity to Sicily, saw the birth of Christianity with the arrival of the Romans (the island has over 360 churches), changes to legal and education systems with the arrival of the French and vast changes in the way it was administered because of the British, alongside adopting English as the second official language.<\/p>\n Malta\u2019s history and occupation have resulted in a mix of cultures that coexist today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Malta today is an island for those looking for a cultural trip. One that draws you into days of exploration and in a very accessible country to travel around and take in the major highlights, as you can see from the answers to some common questions about Malta below.<\/p>\n At the heart of tourism in Malta is the sheer variety of things to see, places to go, historical points of interest, attractions and viewpoints. The lesser-known corners of Malta can only be reached via a willingness for explorative travel.\u00a0<\/p>\n The country of Malta is an archipelago of three islands in Europe, located in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily, Italy, and north of the African countries of Libya and Tunisia. The three islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino are all open for exploration. Locals live on Malta (the biggest island) and Gozo, with Comino, with just two residents, being a nature reserve known for its bird population.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tal Mixta Cave on the less developed and pristine Gozo Island in Malta.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Luckily Malta\u2019s small size of around 316 square kilometres makes it all the more accessible to explore. Such a size is perfect for long coastal walks or a leisurely road trip.<\/p>\n With neighbouring Gozo and Comino islands also topping the list of places in Malta to visit, you might need more than a long weekend for your trip to Malta. It deserves a lot more of your time, although a four-day trip will enable you to cover a lot of ground.<\/p>\n In around one hour, you can cross the island of Malta in one direction by bus or car, covering a distance of around 27km long and 14.5km wide. As there is a lack of vast open spaces, the special thing is the changes in landscapes in that short time, where you will likely move from quiet communities and little bays to beaches and bustling small cities.<\/p>\n Best Transportation in the Maltese Islands?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Malta bus network<\/a> is a prime option for most visitors, and there\u2019s a great hop-on-hop-off tourist bus system where you can reach all the island\u2019s main points.<\/p>\n However, with a car, the more avid island explorers can uncover more of magnificent Malta.<\/p>\n Ferries and Water Taxis in Malta<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s a ferry system in Malta that connect Silema with Valletta and Valletta with the Three Cities of Malta. It costs \u20ac1.50 for a one-way journey and \u20ac2.80 for a return.<\/p>\n Motorised boat, Water Taxi services are also available, costing \u20ac2 for a single crossing to up to \u20ac10 for a Grand Harbour Tour or similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ferries to Gozo island leave from the northernmost point of Malta island, in the area of Cirkewwa.\u00a0<\/p>\n Journey to Valletta. Taking a Water Taxi in Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Malta Sightseeing Bus<\/strong><\/p>\n Not everyone enjoys the hop-on hop-off bus services, but for some, it\u2019s a more convenient means of getting around a destination at your own pace. Malta\u2019s sightseeing buses<\/a> are split into two routes \u2013 South Malta Route (which includes Valletta, The Three Cities,\u00a0 Marsaxlokk Fishing Village, Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Temples and more) and the North Malta Route (including Mdina and Rabat, Mosta Church and Golden Bay, among other sites). You\u2019ll need to start early to cover both as the buses don\u2019t run into the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n There is a similar sightseeing bus in Gozo<\/a>, with 15 sightseeing stops.\u00a0<\/p>\n Malta Day Tours<\/strong><\/p>\n Short on time and want to see the highlights with a local? Take a full-day tour of Malta<\/a> and be guided around the must-see spots of the island, from villages and fortified cities to catacombs and clifftops. Tours run in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.\u00a0<\/p>\n Driving in Malta<\/strong><\/p>\n To embark on a Malta road trip, you must be a great driver since Maltese roads can be tricky to navigate. Luckily for me, my chauffeur was a friend from the island, so I had my own local tour guide to show me around, get my bearings and understand the workings of the road (and Maltese drivers) better.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t want to drive, Bolt is the go-to ride order app<\/a> on the island \u2013 I used it frequently on my recent visit. Drivers arrived quickly, and journeys were not overpriced.\u00a0<\/p>\n Driving in Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It is considered safe to travel in Malta, having had no known conflict activities or history of terrorist attacks. I felt safe and at ease in the secluded and hidden parts of Malta and the more bustling areas like St. Julian\u2019s, where the worst thing you might see is a typical drunken outburst.<\/p>\n Malta City Living<\/strong><\/p>\n Valletta will likely be your main base or the first area you explore on Malta Island. One of the most wonderful things about Valletta is that you can experience the one dominant noble excellence of living by staying in a \u2018Palazzo\u2019 such as the Palazzo Prince d\u2019Orange<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a beautiful 17th-century apartment hotel where I stayed that\u2019s right near to the harbour.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>About Palazzo in Malta<\/a> for further information.<\/p>\n Malta Beach Side<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to spend some days beachside, the Mellieha Bay and Sliema resort areas are considered top choices to find a base.<\/p>\n In the village of Mellieha, the Pergola Hotel & Spa<\/a> is good value for money, just 15 minutes walk to the beach and with views to the islands of Gozo and Comino, as well as the surrounding bay.<\/p>\n In Sliema, check out the D Townhouse Boutique suites<\/a> \u2013 a modern furnished less than 10 minutes from the beach and ferry terminal and a popular choice that quickly sells out.<\/p>\n My road trip expedition allowed me to pull together this Malta attractions guide with 20 of the best places to visit around the island, including some of Malta\u2019s hidden places.<\/p>\n Between Europe and Africa, Malta\u2019s strategic position made it a target for invaders over the centuries, and it\u2019s why you\u2019ll find walled citadels on the island \u2013 Valletta being the grandest of all.<\/p>\n Opulent Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and missing this magnificent walled city built by the Knights of St John is impossible. A true cultural and historical hub, Malta\u2019s capital city of Valletta is exquisite in design, and it\u2019s no wonder it was the European Capital of Culture 2018 and remains top of all the Malta sights.<\/p>\n Its navigable streets are lined with markets and complemented by manicured gardens. All around you are beautiful balconies and grand noble houses. The old city retains its fort, harbour, and historical structures like churches, theatres and the Grandmaster\u2019s Palace.<\/p>\n A bustling caf\u00e9 culture, al fresco dining options and reinvented boutique bars fill the gaps in between. This guide to Valletta goes into more detail<\/a>\u00a0about what to see and do there.<\/p>\n Valletta Tours<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a three-hour walking tour of Valletta\u2019s highlights<\/a> with a local guide, or solve riddles in your own time while learning the history of the sites you uncover on this self-guided scavenger hunt city tour of Valletta<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n This three-hour walking tour includes a guided visit to St. John\u2019s Cathedral<\/a> \u2013 one of the greatest landmarks of the city. Adventure buffs can tour Valletta\u2019s streets by segway<\/a>, stopping at some of the city\u2019s magnificent viewpoints.\u00a0<\/p>\n Get to know Valletta\u2019s history while sampling Maltese cuisine on this street food and culture walking tour<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The old town of Valetta on the island of Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The streets of Valletta during the Feast of St Joseph on March 19th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Life in old Valletta, Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Golden, balconied streets of Valletta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Inside the gilded, muralled St John\u2019s Cathedral in Valletta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n From Valletta, take a short and scenic ferry journey to the Three Cities of Malta \u2013 Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua. Malta\u2019s fortified trio of cities south of the Grand Harbour were used as a base for the Knights of St. John (between 1530 and 1798) before Valletta was built as the main stronghold.\u00a0<\/p>\n Limited on time? The \u2018Happy Train\u2019 trundles around the highlights with historical commentary. It starts and ends at the Vittoriosa waterfront and costs \u20ac6.\u00a0<\/p>\n Vittoriosa, also known as Birgu, is the oldest of the three cities and where the Knights of St. John\u2019s held their first commanding position. It holds historical significance as a place of refuge (alongside Mdina) during the Ottoman invasion of the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. You\u2019ll notice it from afar by the grand Fort Sant Angelo. Wander the winding streets that cradle opulent architecture like the Maritime Museum and Inquisitor\u2019s Palace, encased by the remains of defensive walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The opulent waterside of Vittoriosa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Senglea, also known as Isla, is located on the peninsula opposite Vittoriosa and was also built by the Knights, who named it after their\u00a0<\/span>Grand Master, Claude de la Sengle. See the fortifications of Senglea near the bottom of the peninsula and head to the Gardjola at the tip of the inlet to get to a gorgeous viewpoint of Valletta and the port.<\/p>\n View of Senglea across the Grand Harbour from Valletta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Find the beautiful viewpoint of Valetta from Gardjola, Senglea.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Cospicua, also known as Bormla, is the largest of the Three Cities of Malta but is more of a residential area pocketed with important historic buildings, including St. Helen\u2019s Gate, the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the fortifications known as The Cottonera Lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cospicua \u2013 one of the Three Cities of Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Balzan, Attard, and Lija form \u201cThe Three Villages\u201d of Malta, which sit within the centre of the island. While not overly abundant on sites, this is a quiet and picturesque area to drive through, lined with classical structures and the San Anton Palace and Gardens, which accommodates the Presidential Palace to this day.<\/p>\n The oldest and first capital of Malta, Mdina\u2019s tiny space is chock full of architectural splendour, which begins at the grandiose Mdina Gate. Its silent city namesake comes from the period of the arrival of the Knights of St John when its inhabitants deserted it for the newly instated capital of Vittoriosa.<\/p>\n The nickname doesn\u2019t refer to it being quiet today. It\u2019s crowded \u2013 not just for those coming to admire its beauty but also because it was a filming location for Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n You can take a horse-drawn carriage through Mdina, but it\u2019s wholly navigable by walking. Venture into the warren of side streets filled with courtyard restaurants, shops, and museums surrounding squares filled with exquisitely detailed Palazzos and landmarks like the St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral from 1702, or take a walking tour of Mdina and Rabat<\/a> with a local guide for deeper historical context.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mdina is also home to the best chocolate cake on the island, which can be found at the Fontanella Tea Gardens \u2013 be sure to get a good seat to secure a sweeping view of the island.<\/p>\n The fortified city of Mdina, Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The magnificent architecture in medieval Mdina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Another architecturally rich town that was once a suburb of old Mdina is Rabat. It\u2019s also where you can find the Catacombs of St Paul \u2013 a slightly spooky but fascinating underground explorer\u2019s haven.<\/p>\n Wander the architecturally rich Rabat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n St Paul\u2019s Church in Malta and the entrance to the Catacombs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The narrow stone underground tunnels of the Catacombs of St Paul in Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rabat is also home to the best pastizzi in Malta. Pastizzi are delicious cheese and pea-filled pastries and cost as little as 50 cents apiece. Look out for \u2018Crystal Palace\u2019 next to the car park between Mdina and Rabat, just across from the Roman Villa \u2013 it used to be a local secret, but not anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n Where can you find the best pastizzi in Malta? Right here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When in Malta, try the local delicacy, Pastizzi \u2013 flaky cheese and pea-filled pastries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Malta\u2019s latest experience is The Brewhouse<\/a>. The former Farson\u2019s landmark brewery site has been recently transformed into a cultural space and state-of-the-art museum detailing the history of Malta\u2019s Cisk (pronounced \u2018chisk\u2019) beer brand and the island\u2019s industrial heritage. End your exhibition immersion on the rooftop \u2013 it\u2019s home to Malta\u2019s very first Cisk-themed bar, where you can order a fresh pint on tap and enjoy it with a panoramic backdrop of the island. A multi-venue space, there\u2019s also a bistro and gastropub onsite.<\/p>\n The Brewhouse \u2013 historic industrial landmark turned brewery museum experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One of the best viewpoints on Malta is from the Dingli Cliffs. The best way to experience the panorama is on wheels, so hire a Segway and roll along the stunning coastline. This is also a top hiking spot for the ramblers on the island.<\/p>\n The winding, rocky Dingli Cliffs of Malta are perfect for hiking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A segway trip in Malta is one way to cover some sightseeing grounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Between the coastline and the city of Siggiewi is an unspoiled patch of countryside called Girgenti, where palatial limestone structures and streets are swapped for farmhouses and valley-like roads. Its landmark is the historical Girgenti Palace, built in 1625 as the summer residence of the Catholic Malta Inquisitors and, later, the British Lieutenant Governors.<\/p>\n A blanket of soft rolling wild green resembling Gozo\u2019s landscape, visit the olive groves, where you book an experience with Karlito\u2019s Way<\/a> to taste the local olive oil batch and learn how to make a Maltese Ftira \u2013 a sourdough bread layered with tasty toppings and cooked in a wood-fired oven. Just don\u2019t call it pizza! Combine your time here with a wine tasting at nearby Ta\u2019 Betta Wine Estates<\/a> \u2013 a four-hectare vineyard specialising in fine wines.<\/p>\n Making Maltese Ftira in the Girgenti Olive Groves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ta\u2019 Betta Wine Estates in Girganti, Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You\u2019ll soon find the spot on your journey along the Dingli Cliffs where you can capture the view of Filfa Island in the distance, tour the temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra<\/a>, take a boat trip out to the Blue Lagoon, or, if you are lucky, find the local hideaway and hidden beauty of Ghar Lapsi.<\/p>\n Quiet, hidden coves in Ghar Lapsi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ghar Lapsi is full of stunning, secluded bays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you are keen to see Malta\u2019s local life at its best, Zebbug is a good insight into a secluded area of Malta that visitors never frequent. \u00a0For a real village atmosphere, visit the town in the first week of June when the feast dedicated to St. Philip is underway and traditional music, food and fireworks are in full swing.<\/p>\n Maltese village vibes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This pretty fishing village of Marsaxlokk is great just to come and look at the traditional boats that fill the water. And the coffee is VERY cheap. Overall, a peaceful hangout with a colourful view of the island\u2019s south.<\/p>\n The picture-perfect fishing village of Marsaxlokk, Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I wasn\u2019t a fan of Sliema \u2013 Malta\u2019s modern island addition that somewhat ruins its classic skyline. However, staying away completely means missing out on Tignepoint \u2013 a breathtaking view of Valletta which glistens at sunset.<\/p>\n Sliema also has a convenient ferry port for full-day sailing trips to Camino Island and the Blue Lagoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0A view of the golden structures, spires and domes of Valletta, Malta, from Silema.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mosta Dome is the fourth-largest unsupported dome in the World, known for surviving an air raid in 1942 where two bombs bounced off the dome, and another went through, hit the statue of Jesus, landed amongst the congregation and did not explode. A local miracle and a much-loved landmark.<\/p>\n Mosta Dome in Malta has an interesting history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thought southern Mata was packing with sights? It\u2019s time to head to the North to see even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pumping Paceville, with its bars, nightclubs and restaurants, marks the St Julian\u2019s Bay area as the place to be when your day of sightseeing ends. It\u2019s young, fun, and verging on the side of tacky (in parts), but consider a pub crawl<\/a> and join a group to visit a few bars and nightclubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Those who spend their holidays in St Julian\u2019s Bay may not necessarily be here for the Malta culture. Still, you too might have to admit liking it just a little, especially if you score a restaurant balcony with a harbour view.<\/p>\n Once farmer towns and fisherman\u2019s villages, Bugibba and Qawra are now busy tourist hotspots on the island. However, the promenade offers a lovely walk during the summer evenings, where you can capture some beautiful shots of the surrounding vista.<\/p>\n You need to detour off the main road to reach Mistra bay; once you pass Xemxija and enter the valley, be sure to follow the small signs signalling the winding roads to Mistra Bay, where you will gain access to what is more of a local hangout.<\/p>\n For the more adventurous out there, following the coastline northbound by foot allows you to peer into a once-fortified turret, capture close-up shots of St. Paul\u2019s Island and follow one of the many hiking trails in the area.<\/p>\n Sailing on the shores of Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gnejna Bay is small, cosy and out of the way, although when I arrived here, it was very windy, and the waves were choppy. However, catch this area on a good day, and you\u2019ll soon see it\u2019s a secluded spot to escape the crowds and hang out with the locals.<\/p>\n Joe, the resident car park attendant, has been working at the beach for roughly 20 years and is a great source of insider information about the area.<\/p>\n Gnejna Bay \u2013 one of Malta\u2019s best local beaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Also known as Riviera Bay, the sandy cove at Ghajn Tuffieha will lure you in as soon as you see it from up high. Don\u2019t be put off by the many steps leading down to its sandy shores because this area is just too gorgeous to miss and has one of the best beaches in Malta. Singita Miracle Beach bar offers music and cultural arts entertainment here.\u00a0<\/p>\n Climb down into the sandy shores of Ghajn Tuffieha beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Head to one of the viewpoint restaurants and enjoy the view. It\u2019s that simple in Malta. Golden Bay attracts the younger crowd during the summer months, and it tends to be the busiest of the four mentioned beaches.<\/p>\n Add Mellieha Bay to your list if you are not bored with beaches and bays. \u00a0Perfect to try out water sports and work on the tan, there are half a dozen amazing ice cream vendors here too.<\/p>\n The long coastline and yellow sand beach of Mellieha Bay, Malta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Looking over the entire north end of Malta, the Red Tower provides 360 views across both land and sea. Set up as part of the defence strategy of the islands, it is open on certain days of the year (check the Heritage Malta<\/a> website regularly), and access to the Red Tower is as simple as the rest of Malta \u2013 once you see it, you can drive straight to it.<\/p>\n Check out the clifftop panorama views from Malta\u2019s Red Tower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Find the Little Chapel of Malta in L-Ahrax.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Situated on the opposite side of the Red Tower, this area known as L-Ahrax is commonly used for cliff camping since the area provides a stunning view over Mellieha Bay to one side and Comino on the other. Following the road to the tip, you\u2019ll come across a little chapel \u2013 this mix of culture and scenic beauty gives Malta its unique persona.<\/p>\n Before my Malta trip was planned, I didn\u2019t know much about it beyond the British connections.\u00a0I soon saw that Malta travel is more than its main draw, Valletta (which is incredible), but about a small island of sizable variety \u2013 in landscape, architecture, history, culture, and cuisine.<\/p>\n One end of the island differs from the next, and you can switch from a walled city to a tiny village and from a bustling beach to a secluded cove within minutes. It doesn\u2019t get more diverse than that, and that\u2019s not even considering Malta\u2019s sister islands of Gozo and Comino.<\/p>\n I <\/em>may have been invited by Malta Tourism<\/a>\u00a0and the main Maltese airline<\/a>, Air Malta, but all opinions remain my own. I spent extra time living with a local friend and exploring the island in order to gather further information for this article.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.bordersofadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Visit-Malta-Sliema-View-to-Valletta.jpg\"\/)
