Welcome to Valletta, the golden, fortified city, a masterpiece of the Knights of St John. As you wander through its honey-colored streets, you'll feel the immense history that surrounds you, from the grandeur of St. John's Co-Cathedral to the breathtaking views over the Grand Harbour from the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Its compact size makes it perfect for exploring on foot, though be prepared for some hilly streets. Lose yourself in the narrow alleyways, discover charming cafés and let the city's timeless elegance captivate you.

Best explored on foot. Parking is limited — consider park & ride or public transport.
