Sleeping at night is fine… on a regular working day, but there are exceptions to that rule. Sometimes, a white, sleepless night is all you need. And this is exactly what you can get in Valetta on October 3rd. Notte Bianca will light up the capital city in a spectacular display of nocturnal entertainment. Music and dance will fill the streets and piazzas, restaurants will serve traditional food for the entire night and museums will open their gates to the general delight of locals and tourists alike. We think it an excellent way to start the month!

The races are not the only highlights of the event. Malta tours and cultural events are also in store.
