Mdina Cathedral is a wonderful building right in the center of Mdina, 5 minutes away from the city gate. This cathedral was built in the 17-th century on the place where the first church in malta...

The people on the islands of Malta and Gozo are genuinely good and helpful. Everybody just tries to help you even if you don't seem to be in trouble, the locals answer every question in an extremely friendly way and often give many additional explanations. Just three examples of the good people...

Floriana is the town (or suburb) situated just outside the city walls of Valletta. The town is very nice and lacks the crowds of tourists in the capital city. Just like Valetta, the main...

Mdina is the best preserved medieval city I have ever seen. Nothing has changed in this city for the last 500 years. It is also the smallest city I have ever seen with only around 250 inhabitants....

Vittoriosa is one of the nicest Maltese cities I saw during my trip. It is on a top of a peninsula in the Grand Harbour of Malta. Everything in the city reminded me of the Great Siege of 1565, when...

Senglea is a nice Maltese city on a very long and thin peninsula. While walking through the main street in the middle, one can often see the sea in both Western and Eastern directions. At the top...

St John's co-cathedral is probably the main landmark of Valletta. It looks simple on the outside, but the interior is really wonderful. The cathedral is entered only with an audio guide and a...

Comino is a tiny island of Malta. It has just one hotel and bungalows. This is a super romantic secluded place. I wouldn't recommend though to active people to spend there more then 3-4 days. There is totally nothing to do there then to enjoy yourselves and the nature around. Water is wonderfully...

I love the capital of Malta. Although you can walk the whole old city all over in about two hours - these will be two very pleasant and interesting hours.
My favorite place in Valetta is St. Barbara's Bastion. If you arrive to Valetta from the main entrance (from Floriana) then you should...
