The Mediterranean's Historic Heart

Malta, an archipelago in the central Mediterranean, is a destination rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes. Known for its strategic importance throughout history, Malta boasts a unique blend of architectural marvels, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant local traditions. What to Expect Visitors to Malta can explore a country with a history that spans thousands of years, from prehistoric temples to medieval fortresses and baroque cathedrals. The capital city, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with narrow streets, grand palaces, and ornate churches. The island's natural beauty, with its rugged coastlines and tranquil bays, offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and adventure. Experiences and Recommendations Start your exploration in Valletta, where highlights include St. John’s Co-Cathedral, known for its opulent interior and Caravaggio paintings, and the Grandmaster’s Palace, which houses the President of Malta's office. Wander through the Upper Barrakka Gardens for panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities. The ancient city of Mdina, also known as the Silent City, offers a step back in time with its narrow, winding streets and historic buildings. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni, an underground prehistoric burial site that provides fascinating insights into Malta’s ancient past. #mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks#localguides
