Sight seeing in Malta

Malta offers an all year-round sunny climate so it is possible to visit in any month of the year and explore the island. In the warmest months from Sprint to Autumn Malta offers sandy beaches, lively barsand excellent restaurants making the Maltese islands superb resort destinations.

During the warmer months it is nice to explore Valetta by open bus and to visit the neighbouring islands of Gozo and Comino on a boat tour. It is definitely worth visiting the Blue Lagoon during your Malta Summer holiday as well as exploring the charming local villages and historical churchs.

For history lovers it is ideal with its rich history spanning many nations including: the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Knights of St.John and the British in more recent years. The diversity of these cultures has made this tiny island of around 400,000 inhabitants an intriguing and alluring destination for the discerning traveller with so much to see and explore from castles to ancient Megaliths.

For day excursions we would recommend starting with a trip to the "Silent City" Mdina, Malta's original capital. It is a timeless and beautiful UNESCO protected walled town steeped in history and fine architecture on every corner. The winding narrow streets were designed as a clever defensive strategy to stop archers and later rifle men having clear shots; but now it simply adds to the enchantment and charm of this magical place. We recommend spending at least half a day here; lose yourself in the windy streets, indulge in the wonderful local shops and relax in the unique restaurants.

But there's a lot more than sun and sea on offer, the rich history of Malta has left a plethora of world acclaimed sights: Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave - Malta is positively mythic. The narrow cobblestone streets of its towns are crowded with Renaissance cathedrals and Baroque palaces, while its countryside is dotted with the oldest-known human structures in the world.
