✨Valletta: Golden Alleys & Timeless Old Town Charm 🏰🌅

#mediterranean

Lose yourself in the honey-colored limestone lanes of Valletta, Malta’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll narrow baroque alleys where colorful wooden balconies lean over cobblestones, and every turn reveals ornate door knockers, hidden gardens, and centuries of history. Visit St. John’s Co-Cathedral with its dazzling Caravaggio paintings, relax at the Upper Barrakka Gardens for sweeping harbor views, and linger in small cafés as church bells echo through the Old Town. As evening falls, the softly lit streets glow with a romantic, golden hue.

Getting There 🚖🚌
From Malta International Airport, Valletta is only a 20-minute taxi or 30-minute bus ride (Routes X4, 71, 72).

Tickets & Hours 🎟️
The Old Town itself is free to explore 24/7. Cathedral entry is about €15 and most museums open 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Helpful Tips 🧭
Wear comfy shoes for hilly cobblestones, carry water in summer, and plan an early morning or evening walk for cooler temps and fewer crowds.

Why It Matters 🌏
Valletta is a living museum—its maze of alleys, baroque palaces, and harbor vistas make it one of Europe’s most captivating small capitals.
