Upper Barrakka Gardens

Meşhur

The picturesque Upper Barrakka Gardens encircle part of the city's old fortifications, built on Valletta's highest point. The peaceful tree-shaded gardens feature fountains, flowerbeds, rows of archways, and statues of prominent historical figures including Winston Churchill. Multiple viewpoints around the gardens afford different outlooks. Walk around to discover awe-inspiring panoramas of the Grand Harbor. It's possible to see across to the towns of Vittoriosa, Cospicua, and Kalkara. The level below the gardens is the Saluting Battery (a former bastion), which is lined with military cannons. This space is now used for outdoor weddings and ceremonial events.

Golden Bay

Sahil

This picturesque family-friendly beach offers the best of both worlds: the top-notch amenities of a well-developed tourist destination and the pristine environment of an unspoiled nature site. Set along a small bay on the mountainous northwest coast of Malta Island, the fine golden-sand shoreline of Golden Bay is quite expansive. There's plenty of room for visitors to spread out while sunbathing. Shrub-covered cliffs and hillsides enclose the beach, providing shelter against the wind. The peaceful rural surroundings also give the place a secluded feel. The nearest road is not visible from the shore, and there is no traffic noise to obscure the relaxing sound of gently crashing waves.

Ghajn Tuffieha Bay

Sahil

This sublime stretch of shoreline is found in a spectacular setting just two kilometers from Golden Bay. Steep cliffs and hillsides surround the beach, creating the impression of an untouched natural environment. The beach also seems isolated because it is only accessible by hiking down a staircase of 200 steps. Ghajn Tuffieha Bay has basic amenities for visitors, including public restrooms, a snack bar, and lounge chairs and beach umbrellas for rent. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months.

Mellieha Bay

Sahil

This family-friendly beach boasts a fine sandy shore and gentle waves with no undercurrents. The shallow seabed extends for quite a distance. In fact, the waters are no more than knee deep for about 50 meters offshore, which makes it safe for children to splash around and swim here.

Gnejna Bay

Sahil

Continuing from Ghajn Tuffieha Bay seven kilometers through the countryside is Gnejna Bay, near the rural town of Mgarr. Gnejna Bay has a remote feel, similar to Ghajn Tuffieha Bay, since it is protected by steep cliffs. To reach the Gnejna Bay beach, visitors must hike down a steep staircase through the hillside to the shoreline. Nature lovers are delighted by the expanse of fine golden sand and the crystalline waters. Gnejna Bay is a wonderful quiet beach, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. However, there are no lifeguards.

Armier Bay

Sahil

On the northern coast of Malta, this tranquil family-friendly beach is a nice alternative to the more crowded Mellieha Bay that is just three kilometers away. Armier Bay has a serene ambience because of its remote location in the countryside and away from the road. Armier Bay's beautiful sandy shoreline is lapped up by translucent turquoise waters. The sea is clean and crystal clear, with gentle waves. Tourist facilities are somewhat limited compared to Mellieha Bay, but visitors can find a few snack bars, refreshment stands, and restaurants. It's also possible to rent water sports equipment, as well as lounge chairs and beach umbrellas.

Pretty Bay in Birzebbuga

Sahil

The sandy beach at Pretty Bay in Birzebbuga was created by developers rather than nature, but that doesn't take away from its beauty and charm. As one of the rare beaches on the southern coast of Malta that has a sandy shoreline, it's a favorite locals' destination.

St. Peter's Pool

Sahil

This natural pool is a favorite destination for many tourists. The unique spot is found at Delimara Point, a remote location on the southwest coast of Malta Island. The traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk is a short (six-kilometer) drive away. In a calm protected cove, smooth rocks surround the translucent sea, which is as placid as a swimming pool. Sunlight illuminating the water reveals mesmerizing hues of turquoise and azure. The site has no facilities, except for ladders that provide access to the sea, and there are no lifeguards. Visitors should bring their own beach gear, snacks, and refreshments, and use caution when swimming here.

Saint John's Co-Cathedral

Kilise

Saint John's Co-Cathedral reflects the wealth and success of the Knights of Malta. The Knights of Malta protected Europe from attacks by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century. This opulent cathedral was built as a symbol of Christian victory. The nave exemplifies extravagant Baroque decor with ostentatiously gilded walls and ceiling paintings by Mattia Preti, the famous Maltese painter. The most renowned artwork in the church is The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist by Caravaggio in the Oratory. The various chapels of Saint John's Co-Cathedral represent the different langues (regions) of the Knights of Malta, who hailed from many different countries in Europe.

Grandmaster's Palace

Meşhur

The Grandmaster's Palace reveals the architectural splendor of an important cultural monument. At the center of Palace Square, this Baroque palace was built in the 16th century as a residence for the Knights of Malta. The palace continues to host official state ceremonies today. Part of the building serves as the Office of the President of Malta and as the House of Representatives. The rest of the building is open to the public as a museum. You enter the building through an elegant garden courtyard, which leads upstairs to grandiose hallways with lavish 18th-century frescos.

Valletta Waterfront

Mutlaka Görülmeli

Discover an atmospheric area of Valletta where locals hang out. At this hidden spot, you can enjoy laid-back waterfront dining without the tourist crowds. The row of Baroque buildings along the Marsamxett Harbor was commissioned in the 18th century by Grand Master Manuel Pinto de Fonseca. The buildings were once used as warehouses, to store goods unloaded at the docks. The different colors of the doors indicated the type of contents stored inside: yellow represented wheat, and blue was for seafood. The warehouse buildings have been beautifully restored, and the pathway has been enlarged. A selection of restaurants is found along the palm-fringed waterside promenade.
