Discover the most beautiful locations in Malta!

1. Visit Valetta
   The Republic of Malta’s chic capital city is Valletta. The entire city bears witness to the splendor of the European aristocrats known as the Knights of Malta, who were awarded the Maltese Islands by the Spanish King in 1530.
   The capital that the Knights built was comparable to other great European capitals and befitting of their noble status. Valletta’s well-organized public squares and consistent grid layout from the 16th century demonstrate the Knights’ thoughtful urban design.
   This little city, which is surrounded by the Grand Harbor and Marsamxett Harbor, is very easy to travel- the entire city may be explored on foot in less than an hour.
2. Discover the locations from Game of Thrones in Malta
   This tour will take you on a full-day adventure through the streets of Flea Bottom, the Red Keep and Kings Landing—all of which are locations from the Game of Thrones set in Malta.
   You’ll tour the venues and hear from local actors who were involved in the production about their experiences on set. Additionally, you will be able to witness some of Malta’s other filming locations, including Popeye Village, the setting for the Popeye movie from 1980.
   Additionally, a sizable section of Malta will be traversed, including Valletta, Mdina and the Majjistral National Park.
3. Vilhena Gate, Mdina
   Situated in the southwest of Malta, Mdina is one of the most popular tourist sites on the island. The fortified city, which is home to several masterpieces of medieval architecture, such as Torre dello Standardo, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Palazzo Costanzo, is accessible by the magnificent Vilhena Gate. Furthermore, the gate would be recognizable to viewers of Game of Thrones’ first season.
   Explore the shops, bars and restaurants by meandering around the city’s entrances. Visit the neighboring village of Rabat, which is renowned for its feasts, while you’re there as well.
4. St. Paul’s Bay
   Situated in the Northern Region of Malta, St. Paul’s Bay is the largest hamlet and includes the settlements of Wardija, Bugibba, Qawra, Xemxija, Bidnija and Mistra. St. Paul’s Bay, named for a shipwrecked saint who brought Christianity to the Maltese, is steeped in history.
   The most populous town in Malta, St. Paul’s Bay dates back to 4,000 BC. However, the town is home to many megalithic temples, ancient cart ruts, Roman ruins, 17th-century forts and Punic graves. During the Order of Saint John’s control, numerous castles were constructed, notably the oldest watchtower in Malta, Wignacourt Tower and the island’s only remaining battery, Arrias Battery.
   In addition, St. Paul’s Bay was used as a landing zone for the French invasion of 1798 and as a camp for rest during World War II.
5. Hagar Qim and Mnajdra
   You should definitely put Malta’s amazing megalithic temples, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, on your bucket list. These are some of the world’s oldest religious sites, spaced roughly 500 meters apart!
   Hagar Qim, which translates to “worshipping stones,” is made up of three more megalithic buildings that are much older and the main temple, which is constructed from Globigerina limestone and dates back to 3,200 BC.
   In contrast, Mnajdra dates from the fourth millennium BCE. It is composed of three temples: the upper, middle, and lower, all made of coralline limestone. Reportedly utilized for astronomy, the lower temple is among the most striking specimens of Maltese megalithic construction.
