Valletta, Maltas capital and a UNESCO World heritage site! The city was built by the knights of Saint John and is also called “a city built by gentleman for gentleman”.  Walking through the streets of Valletta you will recognize its historical meaning by the museums, magnificent palaces and churches and the Baroque architecture. A mixture between a working city, a big harbor, the Maltese culture, nightlife, many parks and small beautiful beaches await you in Maltas Capital. 

Here we have listed some of our highlights:  

The City Gate  

At the entrance of the City, you will find the “City Gate”, the Parliament. Originally it is called "Bieb il-Belt". Entering the city coming from the bus station you will pass the bridge of the City Gate and get to Valletta's main street “Triq Ir-Repubblika”. Around the gate there is always something going on, from streets artists to small concerts, ... 

Upper Barrakka Gardens and Military Ceremonies 

If you are looking for a little rest from the city center, you should visit the Barrakka Gardens. With a great view over the 'Grand Habor' you can walk through the colonnaded gardens. They used to be a relaxing haven for the Knights. In the terrace below is the 'Saluting Battery', where a cannon used fire salutes to visiting ships. 

St. Johns Co-Cathedral 

It is the most magnificent cathedral on Malta and used to be the headquarters of the Archbishop. Designed by the architect Gerolamo Cassar, they started constructing it in 1573, but it took them over 100 years to finish it! Even though the facade seems to be simple, the interior has an impressive golden Maltese baroque style... So, it is definitely worth a stop! 

Manoel Theater 

The Manoel Theater in the heart of Valletta, the Old Theatre street, is one of the oldest theaters in Europe. It has a very important cultural as well as historical meaning for the country. To get the full 'magical' experience, it is recommended to attend a show. But if you are only a few hours in Valletta, you should try to include a short stop and look at the blue trompe-l’oeil ceiling and astonishing chandelier! 

And not to forget are the famous steep and narrow streets of Malta with a few shops and cafes, perfect for an afternoon walk! You can find them all over the city and most of them lead to the coast... The best known and most #instagrammable one is for sure the “St. Luy Street”.
