Compact yet overflowing with charm, Valletta, Malta’s capital, is a city built on honey-colored stone that glows golden under the Mediterranean sun. Every street feels like a history book—fortresses, cathedrals, and grand palaces tell tales of the Knights of St. John.
Stroll along the Upper Barrakka Gardens for sweeping harbor views, step inside the dazzling St. John’s Co-Cathedral, or wander the narrow alleys where ornate balconies spill over with flowers. As evening falls, Valletta’s waterfront comes alive with alfresco dining—perfect for trying Maltese rabbit stew, fresh seafood, and local wines.
🏨 Stay: Boutique hotels in renovated palazzos offer an intimate experience, while nearby resorts provide luxury options.
💡 Pro tip: Time your visit during Malta’s summer festivals or the evening cannon salute at the Upper Barrakka for a truly local experience. #mediterranean #valletta #maltatravel #mediterraneanescape #historiccities #hiddeneurope #maltavibes #goldencity #slowtravel
