For the avid historian, or someone who wants to travel somewhere off the beaten path, Malta promises to be an unforgettable city. You'll find plenty of budget hotels, and the mid range hotels provide great facilities for the price. They are clean, and well presented, and many are located a short distance from the historical city center.
In many ways, Malta is like a city preserved through time, where a lot of the old buildings are still in use today. And if you believe one traveler, the ghosts aren't exactly buried, although its doubtful you would see them during the day as you take in the scenic walks where the Knights once rode by. Malta is a striking city that easily blends the old with the new. You'll find top restaurants, and excellent musical and dramatic productions.
Walking Tours In Valletta
If you do go to Malta, you really should take a walking tour in Valetta. Beginning at the city gate of Valetta, the walking tour will take you past the Old Opera House, Church of St. Catherine, Auberge de Castile, Upper Barracca Gardens, and Palazzo Parisio which was once Napoleon's headquarters.
For art and history lovers you'll see excellent examples of Neo-classic and Roman Baroque architecture, a Renaissance palace and courtyards with bronze statuary, the Grandmaster's Palace, the Fort St Elmo which was originally built in 1553, and the Archbishop's Palace built in 1624. Additionally, while enjoying the Valetta walking tour you'll find plenty of opportunities to stop along the way for a strong cup of coffee and delicious pastries. Continuing along Republic Street, you'll see the Carmelite Church, St. Paul's Cathedral, National Library of Malta, National Museums of Archeology and Fine Arts and one of the oldest theaters, Manoel Theater, built in 1731 and still in use today. End your walking tour of Valetta, Malta at the Grand Harbor overlooking the waters of the Mediterranean.
