Melisa

Valletta, situated at Malta's northeastern coast, is a renowned destination radiating antiquated charm intertwined with modern allure. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the stunning capital city of the Mediterranean island nation of Malta, with its magnificent 16th-century Baroque architecture and enticing history layered within its fortified city walls. Valletta is best known for its well-preserved historical facets, such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, adorned with precious art including Caravaggio's masterpiece, and the Grandmaster’s Palace, housing the country's Parliament. The fascinating mix of museums, historic sites, sun-drenched cafes, and breathtaking views across the Grand Harbour attracts countless travellers seeking an immersive cultural experience.

Malta, a small but enchanting archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, is a charming fusion of diverse cultures with a rich historical background extending over 7,000 years. South of Sicily and east of Tunisia, Malta is known for its alluring mix of beautiful coastlines, ancient architecture, and vibrant local life. It hosts three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the historic capital city, Valletta, which is hailed for its 16th-century buildings reminiscent of the Knights of St. John. The island is also famed for its prehistoric temples, like those of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, which are among the oldest free-standing structures on earth. Sunshine bathes the country nearly all year round, making it perfect for beach lovers, while its crystal clear waters and dive sites attract countless water sports enthusiasts. For gastronomes, classic Maltese food offering a blend of Sicilian and Middle Eastern flavors is sure to tantalize the taste buds. Despite its diminutive size, Malta promises an immersive and vibrant travel experience.

Travelers going to Malta are advised to exercise normal precautions. This includes being vigilant of your belongings, respecting local customs, and staying aware of your surroundings. This advice is consistent across the United States, Canadian, and Australian governments.

I spent 4 days in Valletta. It was my first solo trip and one of the most beautiful places I have visited so far. I felt very safe there, and the people were incredibly nice. I highly recommend visiting Malta.
