Malta is one of those destinations that surprises you in all the best ways. From ancient walled cities and colorful fishing villages to dramatic coastlines, crystal‑clear water, and centuries of layered history, the islands offer an incredible mix of things to see and do. Whether you’re exploring Valletta’s golden streets, hopping over to Gozo for sweeping views, or drifting through the Blue Lagoon on Comino, Malta delivers a blend of culture, sunshine, and coastal beauty that makes it easy to fill your itinerary with unforgettable experiences.
When your company gets bought out and you suddenly have a month‑long gap before starting a new job, planning a trip to Malta feels like the perfect solution. In the summer of 2018, Chris and I were sketching out a November getaway when a Pinterest pin titled “10 of the Best Things to Do in Malta and Gozo” caught my eye and instantly sold us on the idea. By the time November arrived, we were more than ready for palm trees, sunshine, and Mediterranean warmth—and Malta delivered.

Malta might not be the first destination that comes to mind when planning a European getaway, but I recommend adding it to your bucket list. We also found Malta to be a relatively affordable option compared to other European destinations, especially when stacked against places like Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, the Czechia, or Croatia.
Valletta & Surrounding Area
Valletta and its surrounding areas are packed with history, architecture, and some of the best places in Malta. This region is compact, walkable, and the perfect place to start exploring the island.
1. Explore Valletta’s Historic Streets
Valletta is the kind of city that makes you slow down; every corner needs a second look. The capital is compact and walkable, with golden limestone buildings, narrow side streets, colorful balconies, and beautiful harbor views. Valletta is the perfect place to start your Malta itinerary and get a feel for the island’s unique blend of European and Mediterranean influences.
2. Visit St. John’s Co-Cathedral
St. John’s Co‑Cathedral is one of Malta’s most impressive landmarks—and yes, the “Co” in Co‑Cathedral is intentional. It shares the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Malta with the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Mdina.
Walk inside to find priceless works of art, striking examples of high Baroque architecture, and nine beautifully decorated chapels, including the revered Chapel of Our Lady of Philermos, held sacred by the Knights of Malta.
Even the exterior has its own charm: one of the towers features three clocks that display the time, the day of the week, and the current date, a detail that’s easy to miss unless you’re looking for it.
3. Walk Through the Upper Barrakka Gardens
Our first evening in Malta began with a local recommendation: head straight to the Upper Barrakka Gardens. After checking in at the Hilton Malta, we grabbed a taxi to Valletta, where our driver dropped us right at the gardens and shared a few helpful tips along the way.
As a major cruise ship port, Valletta was packed with passengers all trying to capture the same sunset views, so patience was definitely required if you wanted the perfect photo. Even with the crowds—and the early November sunset cutting our daylight short—the gardens were worth it. The sweeping harbor views, golden light, and winding streets nearby make this one of the most photogenic spots in Malta.
4. Explore the Lascaris War Rooms via Tunnels Under the Barrakka Gardens
Hidden beneath the Upper Barrakka Gardens, the Lascaris War Rooms are one of Malta’s most fascinating World War II sites. You enter through a winding tunnel carved into the rock, leading to an underground network of chambers that once served as the Allied headquarters for the defense of Malta.
From these rooms, military leaders coordinated air‑defense operations and some of the most significant battles in the Mediterranean. It’s an atmospheric, immersive experience—and a must‑see for anyone interested in Malta’s wartime history.
5. Tour Fort St. Elmo and the National War Museum
Fort St. Elmo sits at the tip of Valletta with sweeping views over the Grand Harbour, and it’s one of the best places to dive into Malta’s military history.
“Built by the Knights in 1552 in just four months, this majestic fort bore the brunt of Ottoman arms during the Great Siege of Malta. It also received its fair share of bombardment during World War ll. Within the Fort’s majestic walls is a chapel, the resting place of knights who fought to the death whilst protecting the altar of the Chapel of St. Anne, during the Great Siege.” ~ Visit Malta
6. Visit Casa Rocca Piccola Museum
Often described as a “living museum,” Casa Rocca Piccola is a privately owned palace in Valletta and home to the noble de Piro family. It’s open for public tours from 10 am to 5 pm, giving visitors a rare look inside an authentic Maltese aristocratic residence. Highlights include an 18th‑century golden sedan chair, ancestral art, modern paintings, and—most unexpectedly—a network of underground tunnels used as bomb shelters during World War II. You can’t tell me that isn’t one of the coolest things to do in Malta.
If you have time, stay for a meal at La Giara, a Sicilian restaurant tucked right inside the palace.
7. See the Mosta Dome
One of Malta’s most famous churches, the Mosta Dome, is best known for a remarkable World War II miracle. In 1942, a bomb crashed straight through the dome during a crowded service, skidded across the floor, and never exploded—a moment locals still talk about today.
The church itself is just as impressive, modeled after the Pantheon in Rome and featuring one of the largest unsupported domes in the world.
8. Visit the Ta’ Qali Craft Village
If you’re looking for a meaningful souvenir from Malta, Ta’ Qali Craft Village is the place to find it. Set on a former RAF wartime airfield, this artisan hub showcases locally made crafts and beautifully handcrafted pieces ranging from glasswork and pottery to lace, jewelry, and leather goods.
The village is located on the outskirts of Attard, just a few miles from the Mdina Gate, making it an easy stop to pair with a visit to Malta’s old capital. Whether you’re browsing for a keepsake or simply want to watch artisans at work, Ta’ Qali is a fun and memorable addition to your Malta itinerary.
Mdina & Central Malta
Mdina and Central Malta offer a blend of ancient history, quiet streets, and some of the island’s most iconic landmarks. This area is perfect for slow wandering, scenic viewpoints, and stepping deeper into Malta’s past.
9. Book a Hop On Hop Off Tour of Malta
Before exploring Mdina and Central Malta, we stopped at the tourism office on the far side of Marsaxlokk Harbor to ask about Hop On Hop Off bus options. Two companies were running tours that day, but only one allowed passengers to switch from the South Route to the North Route without paying extra—definitely something to confirm before you buy your ticket.
We chose to sit on the top deck for the views, which was absolutely worth it, but be warned: once the bus picked up speed between cities, it got chilly. If you’re visiting in the cooler months, bring a jacket or scarf so you can enjoy the scenery without freezing.
The Hop On Hop Off system made it easy to reach Mdina, Mosta, and several inland attractions without worrying about parking or navigating unfamiliar roads. It’s a simple, flexible way to cover a lot of ground in a single day.
10. See the Iconic Mdina Gate
Known as Malta’s “Silent City,” Mdina sits high on a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The Mdina Gate is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Malta, and walking through it feels like stepping straight into a storybook.
This grand Baroque entrance marks the beginning of Mdina, a fortified hilltop city that should be on every Malta bucket list. The gate itself is beautifully preserved and instantly sets the tone for what’s inside—stone walls, instagrammable walkways, elegant balconies, and a sense of old‑world charm that’s hard to beat.
11. Get Lost in the Silent City of Mdina
Once inside the walls, Mdina quickly became one of the most impressive places we visited in Malta. The city reminded me of the French and Italian towns we’ve explored—immaculate stone streets, beautiful doors and windows, horse‑drawn carriages, and residents who still live within the fortress walls. You’ve probably seen the famous blue door framed by bougainvillea; it’s just one of many photogenic corners tucked throughout the city.
It’s easy to spend hours wandering the quiet streets and exploring the highlights within the walls, including:
- St. Paul’s Cathedral
- Cathedral Museum
- Fontanella Tea Garden
- National Museum of Natural History
- Knights of Malta experience
- St. Paul’s Catacombs
- Mdina Dungeons
As the sun set and the November temperatures dropped, Chris and I reluctantly made our way back to our hop on hop off bus.
12. Take Pictures at the Iconic Blue Door in Mdina
One of the most photographed corners of Mdina is the famous blue door draped in vibrant bougainvillea. You’ve probably seen it on Pinterest or Instagram, and it’s even prettier in person. Tucked along a quiet side street, this spot captures everything people love about Mdina—warm stone walls, colorful flowers, and that timeless, old‑world charm.
I wasn’t expecting this view as Chris and I wandered the Silent City. Since it was November, there was only one other couple taking pictures. Even if you have to wait your turn for a pic in busier tourist months, it is definitely worth the wait.
South Malta
South Malta felt completely different from the busier northern areas—slower paced, more local, and full of colorful coastal views. From fishing villages to dramatic cliffs, this part of the island was one of the highlights of our trip.
13. Stroll Through Marsaxlokk Bay
When we asked the hotel concierge for recommendations, he immediately suggested starting our day in Marsaxlokk before hopping on a bus tour of the island. Instead of navigating two bus transfers, we grabbed a taxi straight to the village—much faster and far more enjoyable. Marsaxlokk Bay reminded me a lot of Cassis in the South of France, with its colorful harbor, relaxed atmosphere, and waterfront views that make you want to linger. Our driver even offered to take us around the island for $35 an hour, but we stuck with our plan to explore by Hop On Hop Off bus.
The harbor is filled with traditional Maltese luzzu boats, painted in bright yellows and blues and decorated with the symbolic “Eyes of Osiris” on the prow for protection and good health. These sturdy boats have reinforced hulls that help them withstand rough weather, and they’re still used by local fishermen today. Marsaxlokk is a lively place—fishermen repairing nets, souvenir stalls lining the waterfront, and endless Instagram‑worthy scenes. Photographing the boats should absolutely be on your list of things to do in Malta.
14. Swim at St. Peter’s Pool
St. Peter’s Pool is one of the most beautiful natural swimming spots in Malta—a turquoise, horseshoe‑shaped inlet surrounded by smooth limestone ledges perfect for sunbathing or jumping into the water. It’s a bit more rugged and remote than the typical beach, but that’s part of its charm.
The water here is incredibly clear, and on a warm day it’s the perfect place for a refreshing swim. If you’re visiting in the cooler months, as we did, it’s still worth stopping for the views alone. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk from the parking area and bring sturdy shoes, as the rocks can be uneven.
Comino
Between the islands of Malta and Gozo, you’ll find the smaller sister island of Comino. Comino is an island paradise for divers, snorkelers and windsurfers.
15. Visit the Blue Lagoon Comino
While only a handful of people live on Comino, the island makes an easy and unforgettable day trip if you want to explore, hike, or swim. Its most famous attraction is the Blue Lagoon, a sheltered bay known for its crystal‑clear turquoise water. If you love snorkeling, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the sea, this is one of the most beautiful spots in Malta. Just keep in mind that from June to September, the area gets extremely crowded with tourists.
Chris and I didn’t make it to Comino on this trip—something I wish we’d squeezed in—but if you have the time, the Blue Lagoon is absolutely worth adding to your Malta itinerary.
16. Take a Boat Tour Around Comino’s Caves
If you’re planning a day trip to Comino, consider adding a boat tour around the island’s sea caves. The small tour boats can slip into narrow inlets and hidden coves that larger ferries can’t reach, giving you a close‑up look at the island’s dramatic limestone formations and glowing blue water. It’s a quick, scenic add‑on to a Blue Lagoon visit and a great way to see more of Comino’s coastline without much extra time or effort.
What to Know Before You Go
- Stay flexible—winds and sea conditions can affect boat schedules.
- Arrive early if you’re visiting between June and September—the Blue Lagoon gets extremely crowded by late morning.
- Book your boat in advance, especially during peak season, as tours often sell out.
- Shade is limited, so bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water.
- Water shoes help, especially if you plan to explore the rocky shoreline.
- Facilities are minimal, though you’ll usually find a few food and drink kiosks near the main drop-off point.
Snorkeling & Diving
If you love being in the water, Malta is a dream. The visibility is amazing, the water is crystal clear, and there are countless coves and rocky inlets perfect for snorkeling or diving. Even if you’re not planning a full dive trip, it’s worth packing a mask and hopping in whenever you get the chance.
The best time to snorkel in Malta is May through October, when the water is warmest and the sea is generally calm. July and August offer the clearest visibility, but they’re also the busiest months.
17. Snorkel or Dive at HMS Maori
HMS Maori is one of Malta’s many World War II wrecks, and it offers a unique underwater experience for both snorkelers and divers. Unlike most wreck dives around the islands, this one sits in shallow water just off the shore, making it easy to access without a boat. The remains of the destroyer are scattered across the seabed, creating an atmospheric site filled with marine life and history.
Snorkel Gear
If you already plan to snorkel in Malta, consider bringing a full‑face snorkel mask. I wrote a full guide on the pros and cons (and whether it’s worth packing). It’s a quick read and super helpful.
Gozo
Just a short ferry ride from Malta, Gozo offers rugged landscapes, quiet villages, and some of the most iconic natural and historical sites in the country. Whether you’re here for hiking, beaches, or cultural landmarks, Gozo is well worth adding to your itinerary.
18. Take the Ferry to Gozo
Gozo is one of Malta’s smaller sister islands and an easy day trip if you want a change of pace, beautiful scenery, and a quieter feel. Getting there is simple: take bus 222 from the St. Julian’s/Portomaso area to Cirkewwa, then board the ferry for the 25‑minute ride to Mgarr. When we visited in 2018, the prices were incredibly reasonable—€1.50 for the bus and €4.35 round‑trip for the ferry.
You can check the Gozo Channel ferry schedule on the official site before you go, as departure times vary throughout the day.
Chris and I packed light for our day on Gozo—his backpack filled with water and snacks, mine loaded with my camera gear, a water bottle, and Built Bars protein puffs… though you’ll still want to save room for gelato once you’re on the island.
My Advice for Getting Around Gozo
Once you disembark from the ferry, plan your transportation before you start exploring. The Hop On Hop Off bus is the easiest way to see the island without any stress, but you can also take the local bus to Victoria or hire a taxi right at the ferry terminal. Any of these options will save you time and make your day on Gozo much smoother.
19. Visit the Citadel in Victoria
The Citadel, perched above the town of Victoria, is one of Gozo’s most impressive landmarks and an absolute must‑see. This fortified complex dates back centuries and offers sweeping views over the island—golden fields, quiet villages, and the coastline in the distance. Inside the walls, you’ll find narrow passageways, historic buildings, and small museums that give a glimpse into Gozo’s past. Even if you’re short on time, walking the ramparts is worth the stop for the panoramic views alone.
20. Visit the Ġgantija Temples
The Ġgantija Temples are one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Malta and an essential stop when visiting Gozo. Considered among the oldest free‑standing structures in the world, these prehistoric temples may even predate Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. Their massive limestone blocks and well‑preserved layout offer a fascinating look into Malta’s ancient past, making this one of the best places in the country to experience its early history up close.
21. Blue Hole at Dwejra
If you’re taking the ferry to Gozo, make sure to catch a bus from Victoria out to Dwejra to see the famous Blue Hole. Before you head down to the water, though, grab gelato and some cold water—trust me, those should be your first priorities.
Chris and I found a spot on the rocks to sit, snack, and take in the view. The limestone here has been shaped by years of waves and wind, creating smooth, weathered formations that are beautiful but uneven. Watch your footing as you make your way toward the cliffs and the water’s edge.
If you’re feeling adventurous—and came prepared with a swimsuit—you can even try a bit of cliff jumping. The Blue Hole is a popular spot for both divers and thrill‑seekers.
One thing you won’t see anymore is the Dwejra Arch, also known as the Azure Window. This natural limestone arch collapsed during a storm on March 8, 2017, but the area is still absolutely worth visiting for its dramatic coastline and crystal‑clear water.
If Malta is just a stepping stone in your travels around the Mediterranean, consider Catania, Sicily as your next stop. It is just a short flight from Malta.
22. Stop at Għansielem Church Viewpoint
Just a short walk uphill from the Mgarr ferry terminal, the Għajnsielem Church viewpoint is an easy and worthwhile first stop on Gozo. The church itself rises above the village with beautiful Gothic‑inspired architecture, but the real highlight is the panoramic view overlooking the harbor, terraced fields, and the surrounding countryside. It’s a peaceful spot to catch your breath after arriving on the island and a great place to snap a few photos before continuing on to Victoria or the rest of your Gozo itinerary.
23. Relax at Ramla Bay
Ramla Bay is Gozo’s most famous beach—and for good reason. Its wide stretch of reddish‑gold sand, clear water, and surrounding green hills make it one of the most beautiful places to unwind on the island. It’s an easy spot to spend an hour or an entire afternoon, whether you want to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the scenery. Even on busier days, the beach feels spacious, and the shallow water is great for a refreshing dip after sightseeing around Gozo.
Other Scenic & Cultural Highlights
Malta and Gozo are filled with scenic viewpoints, historic churches, and cultural landmarks that add depth to any itinerary. These spots may not require a full dedicated visit, but they’re well worth stopping for as you explore the islands.
24. Visit the Three Cities
The Three Cities—Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua—offer one of the most atmospheric and culturally rich areas to explore in Malta. These fortified towns sit directly across the Grand Harbour from Valletta and feel like stepping back in time, with narrow stone streets, quiet waterfronts, and centuries of history layered into every corner.
Vittoriosa (Birgu) is the most visited of the three, known for its medieval lanes, the Inquisitor’s Palace, and sweeping harbor views, while Senglea and Cospicua offer peaceful promenades and beautiful lookout points without the crowds. It’s an easy place to wander slowly, take photos, and soak in a more local side of Malta that many visitors overlook.
25. Explore Popeye Village (Even If Just for Photos)
Popeye Village is one of Malta’s most unique and quirky attractions. Originally built as the film set for the 1980 Popeye movie starring Robin Williams, the entire wooden village still stands today—colorful, weathered, and wonderfully odd. What was once a temporary set has been transformed into a small fun park, but even if you don’t go inside, the viewpoint above Anchor Bay is worth the stop on its own. The rustic buildings, bright blue water, and dramatic cliffs make it one of the most photogenic spots in Malta.
You’ll find Popeye Village in Anchor Bay, just a couple of miles from Mellieħa, and it’s an easy addition to any Malta itinerary—especially if you’re collecting bucket‑list photo locations.
26. Walk the Dingli Cliffs at Sunset
The Dingli Cliffs is one of the best places in Malta, and sunset is the perfect time to visit. These dramatic limestone cliffs rise high above the Mediterranean, offering wide‑open views of the sea, terraced fields, and the tiny, uninhabited Filfla Island in the distance. As the sun drops, the whole coastline glows in warm golds and soft pinks—an unforgettable way to end the day.
It’s an easy place to wander along the cliff edge, find a quiet spot to sit, and soak in the scenery. The area feels peaceful and remote, even though it’s not far from the main towns. Just be sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the rocky paths can be uneven, and plan to arrive a little early so you can explore before the light starts to change.
27. Visit the Sliema Waterfront
The Sliema Waterfront is a lively stretch of promenade, cafés, and harbor views—and it ended up being one of our favorite surprises on arrival day. Instead of taking a taxi back to our hotel from Valletta, we noticed the small ferry shuttling passengers across the bay and decided to give it a try. The quick ride cost only €1.50, and after three long flights, being out on the water felt like the perfect reset.
Once we arrived in Sliema, we had about a 30‑minute walk back to our hotel, but the stroll along the waterfront was exactly what we needed.

Begin Planning the Best Things to Do In Malta
Following our first trip to Malta, Chris and I continued on for 5 Spectacular Days in the South of France. Malta and Gozo had never been on our travel radar before this trip, but they turned out to be a delightful—and surprisingly affordable—destination. I genuinely recommend adding Malta to your travel plans. With so many things to do across both islands, you’ll want at least four days (and ideally more) to experience the best of what Malta has to offer.

Malta has been so high on the top of my bucket list for so long! There seems to be so little info about this beautiful place, so I am thrilled I found your blog… I will definitely be heading to Mdina when I visit.
That’s great the ferry was so affordable! That would be way more fun than a taxi. And after such a long flight, walking is so refreshing anyway!
I’ve wanted to visit Malta for quite awhile and now more so! Each area looks gorgeous whether it is by the water or wandering a charming street. I think visiting Mdina would be my favorite!
We have a very similar story in fact. When my company closed and I had some time, I also booked a trip. 🙂 Malta looks really cool. I’ve been wondering about it for some time. I don’t always hear about it. It looks just beautiful. I live in France so I’m not too far…will definitely start considering it. 🙂
Lucky that you live in France. There is so much more I want to explore there too.
I had an aunt who lived on Malta and always wanted to visit! Good to know it’s affordable!
If she is still there, you should go.
Oh my gosh, I love the city of Valletta and Mdina! They are both insanely charming and beautiful, such a great mixture of history, architecture, and vibrant city life. I didn’t get the chance to go to Gozo, but I hope I can go back and see the island. Thanks for sharing!
There was plenty that we didn’t get a chance to explore; going back would be fine by me.
I want to visit Malta so bad… I’m hoping to go for my birthday so this is timely. The island looks so charming, especially Mdina…I can’t wait to visit.
Lucky that you are close enough to go.
Malta is high on my list to visit and your guide has really helped with my plans! Thanks for sharing such a detailed guide 🙂

We loved Malta more than we thought we would.
Ah Gozo is wonderful! I still got the chance to see Azure Window. too bad it collapsed!
I know. We were sad that we missed the chance to see it.
Such beautiful sites in Malta and Gozo. Malta is still on my radar to travel to, and after reading various blogs, I know I’ll have to go to Gozo then to.
Both islands were pretty cool.
All of these locations look beautiful to visit! I can’t wait to get to Malta and walk around its historic streets.

It was a surprising discovery for us as well.
My best friend just moved to Malta so this article will really help me when I will go to visit her and explore the island.
Malta was such a hidden treasure we were happy to explore.
We just got back from Malta. We had a busy stay and thought we saw it all. But we’re sorry that we missed Marsaxlokk Bay – especially on Sunday fish market day. And while we planned to scuba dive, we finally just did not get it on the plan. Good reasons to go back.
After visiting Sicily for the first time this year, I decided that I also wanted to visit Malta. I think it is a great island for a walking tour. I can see there is so much to see and do!
How gorgeous is Mdina! Thank you for sharing this list… Malta has been on my list for too long, and I think this might just be the post to get me to book those tickets!
