Perfect day at Valleta Malta!

Valletta stole my heart with its stunning mix of history, culture, and breathtaking views. Wandering through the narrow streets lined with golden limestone buildings felt like stepping back in time — every corner had a story to tell. One of my favorite spots was the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Sitting there, overlooking the Grand Harbour with the sun warming my face, was pure magic. And catching the daily noon cannon salute from the Saluting Battery below was such a unique experience! I also explored the magnificent St. John’s Co-Cathedral, where the ornate Baroque interiors and Caravaggio’s masterpieces left me in awe. The bustling streets of Republic and Merchants Street were perfect for a leisurely stroll, with charming shops and cozy cafés inviting me in for a coffee and some local pastizzi. As the day turned to evening, I enjoyed a delicious Maltese dinner with sea views — fresh seafood paired with local wine made the perfect end to an unforgettable day. Valletta is a city where every moment feels special.
