Located 50 miles off the coast of Sicily, Malta boasts one of the oldest civilizations in Europe and is well loved for its warm climate, natural beauty and historic monuments. The island is home to thousands of Megalithic temples, among the oldest free-standing structures in the world, and several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Here are some of the top must-see attractions in Malta:
The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is an underground limestone temple, circa 2500 B.C., that features stunningly preserved prehistoric art.
Wander a 4th-century maze at St. Paul’s Catabombs in Rabat for a glimpse of early Christian life on the island.
While there are hundreds of churches on the island, St. John’s Co-Cathedral is one of the most architecturally impressive structures. The church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, features “The Beheading of St. John the Baptist,” a renowned work by Italian master Caravaggio.
Experience the fairy-tale charm of Mdina, a medieval walled town with historic buildings illuminated at night.
Visit the small, fortified city of Birgu at night from a fisherman’s boat, available at Grand Harbor, for a magical spectacle.
Spend a day at Golden Bay, one of Malta’s most beautiful beaches, located on the northwest coast of the island.
Explore Blue Grotto, a series of seven caves and inlets on the southern side of Malta, famous for deep-blue waters and natural rock formations. Blue Grotto is accessible via boat for around €8.
