The foundation of Valletta was laid on 28 March 1566, with the walls divided in 8 sections, one for every language of the Order of St John. These amazing fortifications were built over 5 years using 8000 workers daily. Approaching them from the sea is a good way of appreciating their beauty so take a harbour cruise - it's worth the price of the ...

Malta - ever heard of it? A small island off the coast of Italy. They drive on the other side of the road here. We rented a car. I thought everyday I would die here. I did not feel safe as a passenger and my husband had a headache everytime we had to take the car somewhere. I think he thought he would get in a fatal accident too. Despite our ...

I loved all of Malta, but particularly Valletta -- the awesome Co-Cathedral, the way history pervades the town, the kindness of the people we met, the food, the whole thing. Places not to miss: the St. John's Cathedral (take the time to watch some of the restoration work, if possible), all the other churches, the views from Upper Baraka ...

It was our first trip, we actually got married here (only possible with planning). Most would compare to Greece or southern Spain. The city was pretty clean and the locals very friendly.

There are many ...

People are very friendly. Its easy to visit where the knights were and the progres of Valletta after the wwII war.
I recoment that anybody who visit the medetereanan. should have valletta on top of the list.

The sun and the Mediterrenean sea should only be considered as a bonus for visiting the islands of Malta. The true reward for the savvy traveller is the huge amount of historical places and history spanning over 7,000 years (some archeologists are pushing this even nearer to 10,000 years). These islands boast of having the oldest stand buildings ...

We had a wonderful time in Malta. We went in Feb. - which means cooler weather and no crowds!

Even though it was off season, we were still able to see everything we wanted. I was also able to swim with dolphins!

This is a wonderful place to visit!

If you are looking to get away in a remote island in the medditeranean, then look no further. Malta was a place like no other that I have ever been to. Of my lengthy world travels, Malta has been by far the best kept secret. I am honestly disapointed to see it advertised online and I hope that it does not become overrun by westerners. If you ...
