Top Things to Do in Malta

Malta is a beautiful, small island located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicily and the North African coast. Even though it's considered to be a small island, there are plenty of things to see and do and we want to show you some of them.

Top Things to Do in Malta

Visit the Island’s Capital - Valletta.

Make sure to spend at least a few hours in Malta’s capital city. It's a beautiful medieval town with narrow streets that are full of cute shops, restaurants, and cathedrals. It’s also worth visiting the main park and stopping to have a delicious ice-cream.

The village’s name comes from marsa, which means “port” and xlokk, which is the local name for south-east. It’s water is decorated with hundreds of small colorful boats which look absolutely incredible.

Malta’s one and only White Cliffs! It’s is similar to the White Cliffs of Dover but a little smaller yet still really impressive.

Fort Manoel on the Manoel Island

Fort Manoel on the Manoel Island

A very remote, small island right across the water from Valletta. If you're looking for a place with no tourists yet still want to stay near the city center, then this place is for you. This little island is very empty and has absolutely no tourist conveniences like shops, bars, or entertainment. The main reason you come here is for the amazing view of Valletta from across the bay.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Malta is not a tropical island, it's a dry piece of land near Africa yet it's so full of different places, activities and entertainment. It has been an independent country since 1956 but you can still feel the British spirit in it. We've described only the main island but there are also small islands nearby like Gozo, Comino and even Sicily which is only half an hours flight from Malta.
