Visiting is like stepping into a medieval film set or being transported back in time. It is unlike any place I had seen before with its mix of influences leading to dramatic buildings and forts. Great weather, especially in summer, and the atmosphere draws tourists here. While there are good beaches the history and remarkable sites of Valetta and Mdina are the magic in my view.

  • Observations
  • History
  • General tips for visitors
  • Best time to go
  • Getting there and getting around
