Your top 5 to do in Malta

No trip to Malta would be complete without being able to go back and talk about having eaten the freshest fish possible, right by the sea with an amazing backdrop. You can boast of having visited some of the oldest buildings in the world, the Ggantija, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples.

Add to your amazing tales, by going diving, rock climbing or walking in Gozo and to really make your friends jealous tell them you walked through the streets of ancient cities like Mdina, where in its silence it is easy to imagine the long colourful past of this old capital city.

Finally visit Valletta the Baroque “new” capital of the Islands and World Heritage site, and, when you’re tired, cross the spectacular Grand Harbour in a Maltese Dghajsa to experience the historic Three Cities.
