One of the three principal islands of the Maltese archipelago, the island of Malta is the largest of the chain. Its capital Valletta, a lively, bustling city with many buildings dating back to the 16th century, teems with cathedrals, palaces and forts. The impressive Grand Harbour offers a dramatic arrival. The top archaeological attraction is the UNESCO-designated Hypogeum temple ruins, a macabre, 5400-square-foot underground necropolis and the world's only underground prehistoric temple.
With more than 7,000 years of history and countless megaliths, medieval dungeons and vibrant towns and villages, Malta is one of the most alluring and diverse spots in the Mediterranean. Find beaches with changing colors and explore hidden coves. Visit ancient temples or head to the trendiest nightclubs. Valletta’s sunny streets, rich heritage and breath-taking architecture have earned it the accolade of European Capital of Culture 2018. Malta embraces its past and moves effortlessly with the times.
Perched on a hilltop in northern Malta, laid-back Mellieħa has a more local feel than many of the island's more developed southern resort towns. You'll find Malta's longest beach here, the white-sand Mellieħa (or Għadira) Bay.
