A week in Malta: what to see and do

Tripoto

Malta's colorful heritage is evident the moment you step foot on the island. In the city, which has been controlled by a variety of civilizations, the architecture, culture, and language all come together. You don't have to think twice about visiting one of Europe's most secure countries, which has beautiful weather and a Greek Island vibe.

With just a few days on the island, you'll have plenty to keep you occupied. Even if you just have one week in Malta, you will be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things to see and do.

A sovereign state, Malta is in fact. The Mediterranean Sea-bordered 245 m2 enclave is one of Europe's least-visited countries. It's a popular site for British visitors throughout the summer months. Having a strong ex-pat community seems to have helped a lot of individuals stay in the same locations year after year. Many Maltese-born people make the trip at least once a year, if not more frequently.

Taking a leisurely stroll around the city squares of European cities is a popular hobby. While in Washington, DC, you may either admire the city's amazing architecture or watch as water pours forth in time with the music playing in the background. Also, Malta has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, according to 1001beach.com's top 10.

Visit CASA ROCCA PICCOLA for a look around.

Are you interested in learning more about the nobility of Malta? Visiting Casa Rocca Piccola, a 16th-century palace, is essential. The ancestral home of the 9th Marquis de Piro, who lived there until recently, may be found here.

St. John the Baptist's co-cathedral is a must-see.

In terms of Gothic architecture, this cathedral is one of the best specimens in the world. Statues and the building itself, both of which date from the late 1500s, exhibit elements of Baroque art. The Knights of Malta's effect on Maltese culture is further demonstrated by this example.

WORTH VISITING ARE THE MANOEL THEATRE AND MUSEUM.

It is one of Europe's oldest theaters, having been built in 1731 by the Knights of Malta.

It's time for a battery to be savored at the Upper Barrakka Gardens.

It is one of the few green spaces in the city of Valletta. There are a number of spots overlooking the Grand Harbour where you may capture the perfect light. Portsmouth's port has been protected by this structure since the 16th century. Every day at noon, a large crowd gathers on top of the city's defensive walls to watch the firing of cannons.

Get your teeth into TRABUXU.

Modern Maltese cuisine is served at Trabuxu, a fashionable restaurant in the heart of Valletta.
