Must-See Nearby
Valletta Historic Centre
A UNESCO World Heritage city — the entire urban fabric is worth exploring. Walk the main streets, find the side alleys, and let the architecture speak.
On your doorstep

~10 min walk
St John's Co-Cathedral
One of the most ornate Baroque interiors in Europe, and home to Caravaggio's largest painting. Worth every minute inside.

~25 min by car
The Three Cities
Birgu, Senglea, and Bormla — the historic fortified towns across the harbour from Valletta. Easily reached by ferry and far less visited than they deserve.
