4 Reviews The Co-Cathedral is one of Maltas real gems. The external architecture is quite simple, but in a pleasing sort of way, and it gives you no clue about what lies inside. If you visit Valletta you must...

There are two official languages in Malta: Maltese and English, so, no problems at all (if you speak any of them, of course).Maltese language is quite difficult, at least for me, so, fortunately they speak English too. Would you like to learn (or try to learn) a few words in Maltese? Have a go!- Hello = Merha- Good morning = Bongu- Good afternoon = Bonswa- Open = Miftuh- Bus = Karozza- Thank you = Grazzi- Sea = Bahar
Malta adopted the Euro on 1 January 2.008. So, it's good for many european citizens due to we use the same currency.Would you like to know how much 1 Euro is? Your "mouse" will tell you at once.
September is pretty much the end of summer in Malta but it can still be very hot although not as hot as in July and August. We sometimes get our first storms in September and this brings the temperature down a little. Regarding clothes I suggest you bring swimwear and summer clothing but bring a light waterproof jacket and a couple of long-sleeved tops just in case it rains. It will not be cold at that time of year.
Marsaxlokk is a nice fishing village located in the south-eastern side of Malta.Its name means "south-east harbour". Marsa = harbour; xlokk = south -east.This is the right place to have a good lunch. There is a big choice of restaurants there. In Marsaxlokk you can also see a lot of luzzus. These are traditional bright colored fishing boats.
Its real name is Ramla Tal Mixquqa.This beautiful beach with golden sand lies at the north-west of Malta. You can get there by bus. At Golden Bay there are some cafes-restaurants. Not far from this beach there is a mini-market.
This beautiful wood, with various kinds of trees and shrubs was a hunting ground of the Order of St, John.The Buskett is overlooked by the Verdala Castle. This mansion was built by the Grand Master de Verdalle as his summer house.This wood is located about two km. from Rabat.If you like to know some information about the Verdala Castle go to; www..angelfire.com/ma/maltarchitecture/verdala.html
Not sure if you have started your cruise. Just back from Western Mediterranean cruise with Costa Concordia and visited Malta by myself. They offer 1 Euro return to the main gate where you can find bus to Mdina. When back to town, you take a walk along the main road and then the same bus back to the port.The day we ahored in Malta, we learnt that the 1st president of Malta just passed away on May 01, at 99 years olds. Friendly people

...I only had a taste of it.I visited the Citadel in Victoria. This is the main town of this island. I stayed into this fortress at least two hours.Inside the Citadel there is the Cathedral (1697-1711), three interesting museums; some shops and cafes. I wanted to see some other nice places on this island, but unfortunately buses in Gozo are not as frequent as in Malta.Well, after having visited the Citadel I caught a bus to Nadur. This is an ordinary village with no restaurants and some bad looking bars. From there I walked to the harbour. When I arrived there I ate an hamburger; had a drink and I came back to Malta early in the afternoon.If you want to go to Gozo; plan your trip carefully and ask for the timetables at the main bus station in Victoria. Visit the Citadel in the afternoon.
These beautiful gardens were laid out by Grand Master Antoine de Paule between 1623 and1636 as grounds to his summer palace.Here you can stroll among exotic plants, fruit trees and statues. There are also some aviaries.Into these gardens there is the residence of the President of Malta.San Anton Gardens are located in Balzan.
