Valletta

Step into a living Baroque masterpiece in Valletta, the smallest capital city in the European Union and one of the most densely historic places on Earth, where the entire city—founded in 1566 by the Knights of St. John—is a UNESCO World Heritage site of golden limestone streets, ornate palaces, and magnificent churches including the breathtaking St. John’s Co-Cathedral with its Caravaggio masterpieces and intricate marble floors. Wander the elegant Republic Street lined with grand auberges and the iconic City Gate designed by Renzo Piano, enjoy panoramic views over the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities from the Upper Barrakka Gardens (with its daily noon gun salute), or simply relax in the lively St. George’s Square with its cafés, street performers, and the warm, welcoming energy of a city that perfectly blends 450 years of Knights’ history, Mediterranean light, and authentic Maltese hospitality.

Savor fresh pastizzi straight from the oven, rich rabbit stew (fenek), sweet imqaret date pastries, and chilled Cisk beer amid harbor breezes, Baroque façades, and the unmistakable rhythm of a place where history feels alive on every corner.

Valletta isn’t just a destination—it’s Malta’s most spectacular living fortress of Baroque beauty, sea views, and timeless island soul—plan your Valletta adventure today!
