Malta packs 7,000 years of history into an island smaller than the Isle of Wight, from megalithic temples older than the pyramids to baroque Valletta and the honey-stone bastions of Mdina. English is an official language, the buses go everywhere, and the limestone coastline hides swimming spots like the Blue Grotto and Comino's Blue Lagoon.

Visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta at exactly noon for the cannon salute from the Saluting Battery below — free to watch from the gardens, and the view over the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities simultaneously is the defining Maltese image.
Book ahead for the St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta — the plain exterior hides one of Europe's most astonishing Baroque interiors, including Caravaggio's largest surviving painting. Buy tickets online to avoid the queue; arrive at opening time (9am) before tour groups.
Take the ferry from Cirkewwa to Gozo (25 minutes, €4.65 return) and hire a bike or a jeep to find the Blue Hole at Dwejra on the west coast — a natural rock chimney diving spot with extraordinary visibility; snorkelling is free and the water colour is genuinely unreal.
Eat ftira — the Maltese bread ring stuffed with tuna, capers, olives, and tomatoes — from one of the early-morning bakeries in the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea) rather than the tourist cafes in Valletta; it costs €2–3 and is eaten standing at the counter like locals do.
Travel tips
- →Book a sunrise or sunset slot for Comino — midday boat tours dump hundreds of people into the Blue Lagoon
- →St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta is worth the ticket for the Caravaggio alone
- →Stay in Sliema or Valletta rather than Paceville unless you specifically want nightlife
