Plan your visit to these enchanting islands with our list of the top tourist attractions-
- Visit Valletta: Walking around the lovely capital city and looking at the beautiful architecture and the amazing views over the sea is one thing to do. Or you could also visit the Saint John’s Co-Cathedral, the Grandmaster’s Palace, the National Museum of Fine Arts or the Barraka Gardens as well.
- Gozo and Comino Islands: These islands lie just off the north coast of Malta and are known for their rocky shores and traditional fishing villages.

- The Hilltop Town of Mdina: Steeped in history, the enchanting medieval hilltop town of Mdina feels like an escape to a fairy-tale city. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient city’s car-free streets and beautiful, old sandstone buildings are a sight for sore eyes.
- Rabat, Island of Malta: In Maltese, the word “Rabat” means ‘suburb’ and the town is more modern than the neighbouring Mdina, but with noteworthy historical attractions such as the Casa Bernard, the Domvs Romana Museum, the 17th-century Parish Church of St. Paul’s and so much more.
