Malta Travel Guide

Malta is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea that lies south of the island of Sicily, Italy. The country is an archipelago, with only the three largest islands being inhabited. The Maltese Islands offer an exhilarating contrast of colours: the azure of the Mediterranean, the mellow honey–coloured limestone which characterises the architecture, and clear skies. The Islands are a feast for the senses.

With 7,000 years of history, the Maltese Islands are steeped in culture and heritage. The Islands went through a golden Neolithic period, the remains of which are the mysterious megalithic temples dedicated to the goddess of fertility. Later on, the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans and the Byzantines, all left their traces on the Islands.

Everywhere you go, a unique historic sight awaits. Temples, palaces, cathedrals, and forts provide a living history you can almost touch. Sound plays an important part in the life of the Islands. The mix of fireworks and village band marches transforms a summer night into a special memory. The advantage of a stay on the Maltese Islands is that you can experience several holidays in one.

Cuisine here is a taste of the Islands' multicultural heritage. Local restaurants offer a creative selection of tempting fare. After dinner, night clubs, wine bars and casinos beckon with their own brand of excitement.

Things to do

Malta has had such a rich history that the country is practically saturated with attractions and places of interest. If you want to find out more about the countries 7,000 years of history, the sites to visit are endless the Megalithic Temples (including Ggantija, the oldest freestanding temple in the world), the underground St Pauls and St. Agathas catacombs, The Knights of St. Johns significant sites, such as Fort St Angelo and Fort Rinella (home to the worlds largest canon). WWII significant sites, such as the Mgarr war shelter, Mtarfa ex–British military buildings, The Armoury and the Maritime Museum in Vittoriosa are not to be missed.

Malta has beaches for everyone, from windsurfers to sunbathers. Choose from golden sand, red sand, rocks, blue lagoons and even inland seas. Some beaches and rocky shores are off the beaten track, but worth seeking out for their seclusion. Do not miss a boat trip to Cominos Blue Lagoon for the ultimate in azure water. On larger beaches, you will find cafes or snack bars open during the summer season. With Maltas climate, beach life lasts well into October. Enjoy water sports and activities like windsurfing, jet and water skiing, parakiting and fun rides. You can hire equipment from beach cafes or shops nearby.

Nightlife

Typical of the Mediterranean lifestyle, the Islanders approach to life is to enjoy and celebrate it as much as possible. Nightlife on the Islands is always bustling even if the vibrant calendar of events is lean during some periods, there are always scores of clubs to visit, excellent wine bars and first–rate restaurants to try.

Maltese Islands have also become a hub for the clubbing scene. Internationally renowned DJs appear (Paul Oakenfold, Erick Morillo, Magda, Tiesto, Van Heill) for guest weekends throughout the year. This scene thrives all year round and is an all–week affair in a variety of venues, from large clubs to quieter bars where some excellent house DJs entertain and the admission is free. The main nightlife clubbing action is in Paceville, on the coast near St. Julians, where the clubs and bars are in abundance.

The arts have always played a large role in Maltese culture and continue to do so with cultural events occurring frequently. The National Museum of Fine Arts, housed in an exuberant Rococo building dating from the 1570s, exhibits some magnificent art, ranging from the early Renaissance to modern times
