Some Favorites in Malta
In Malta, you'll explore 7000 years of
history yet live passionately in the present.
You'll span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And
wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and
architecture provide a spectacular backdrop.
The colors are striking. Honey-colored stone against the deepest of
Mediterranean blues. The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air
museum. What makes them unique is that so much
of their past is visible today. Delve into the Islands' mysterious prehistory,
retrace the footsteps of
St Paul or see where the Knights of St John
defended Christendom. But Malta is no regular museum. Here life is lived to the
full, so make time for some living history and action. Visit locations where
Oscar-winning blockbusters were filmed or go off the beaten track into
ancient villages. Marvel at the fireworks and
revelry of the
summertime fiestas and enjoy a packed calendar
of events all year round.
In just 48 hours and a kilometer or two, you can try a new sport, laze on an
island cruise and tour the most important
historic sites. And still have time to join in the
nightlife. That’s the real advantage of a stay
here.
The Islands offer plenty of specialist holidays for those seeking to learn a new
skill, discover history or get fit. If you’re interested in sports, we cater as
much for the seasoned enthusiast as the casual first-timer. Malta has
fitness and spa facilities at the luxury hotels
and club resorts. Sea and land lend themselves to activities from
rock-climbing to gentle rambling.

Cities and Towns in Malta
There is modern, urban living at its fastest with cafés,
nightlife, clubs and
restaurants. Then there are unique baroque
towns and cities, sleepy
villages and bustling fishing ports. There are
places in which to live it up, or while away time. Malta is to enjoy life at
its simplest one day and at its most cosmopolitan the next. However short your
stay, it’s possible to have a taste of Island life from traditional villages to
urban resorts.
Malta’s capital, the World Heritage City
Valletta, and the medieval fortified towns of
Mdina and Cittadella,
Gozo, are the Islands' historical highlights.
Sliema, Bugibba, Qawra and St Julian's in Malta and Marsalforn and Xlendi in
Gozo are the
main resorts. They bustle with activity, and
not just in summer.
Valletta is a cornucopia of European art and architecture. This city of the
Knights remains virtually intact. Its streets flanked by palaces and tiny,
old-world shops. Across Grand Harbor lie the
Three Cities of Senglea, Cospicua and
Vittoriosa. Older than Valletta, they offer a fascinating insight into the
Islands’ maritime fortunes.
The southern fishing village of Marsaxlokk and neighboring resort town of
Marsascala are also worth a visit.
With little effort, just a desire to explore, you’ll find inland towns and
villages with character and treasures of their own.
Churches reveal masterpieces by the artists to
the Knights while each village square is a slice of history, its café-bar the
hub of rural life.

Dining al fresco is one of life’s simple pleasures.
It’s almost a daily possibility in Malta. Choose from courtyards of baroque
palazzos to harbor
restaurants and local café-bars. Find
somewhere secluded, or dine in a busy trattoria.
The Islands’ cuisine is influenced by the people who made their home here over
the centuries, from the Arabs, Italians and Spanish to the French and British.
Traditional
Maltese cooking has distinct touches of the
Sicilian and Moorish. Look out for rich sweets, pastries and deserts of
ricotta, almonds and figs as well as tomato and wine sauces with pasta, rabbit
and fish.
Restaurant menus follow the seasons using the best of available fare: from
tomatoes, zucchini, herbs and olives to fish like
lampuki, a national favorite, swordfish and
tuna. International cuisine is available everywhere. Most restaurants are
influenced by Italian or French cuisine, but there are plenty specializing in
Oriental, Tex Mex and other themes. In true Mediterranean style, children are
welcome everywhere.
