43 Reviews The upper Barakka Gardens is set high above the Grand Harbour behind the ramparts and fortifications; It was created in 1661 by an Italian Knight called Flaminio Balbiani as a retreat for the knights.

41 Reviews This Baroque masterpiece was built between 1573 and 1577. It was commissioned by Grand Master Jean de la Cassiere as the conventual church of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of St. John. Outside it is a big building and rather plain. The interior was redecorated in Baroque style in the 17th...
25 Reviews St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral is the other cathedral of La Valletta and it is also the first Protestant church built in Malta. It took 6 years and the suicide of one of the architects to build this cathedral, and it was completed only in Cathedral 1844 – the Bishop of Gibraltar consecrated it the...
21 Reviews Grand Harbour in Maltese: Il-Port il-Kbir is the natural harbour of Valletta and Mata. It has been used as a harbour since at least Phoenician times.

15 Reviews On most Sundays there is a re enactment of the inspection of the troups called 'Il Guardia'. It starts at 11 but be sure to be early to get the best seats. We arrived at 10:30 and the best seats were already taken. Ok it's fake but I found it great fun!
13 Reviews The Auberge de Castille et Leon was the official seat of the Knights of the Langue of Castille, Leon and Portugal. There were several such auberges in town – inns they would be in English. They were residences who gave hospitality to the Knights that did not possess a home in Valletta. There is an...
8 Reviews Visit the Malta Experience. It's an ideal break during a hot weather visit to Malta. Just relax for a hour in the cool underground movie theater and let 3000 years Malta history pass by. Shows at: 11AM, 12AM, 1PM, [2PM, 3PM and 4PM] on Mondays through Fridays.
8 Reviews Valletta's bus station is certainlythe hub for bus transport on Malta. Although called Valletta's bus station, the bus station is located just outside of the City Gate and so is actually located in Floriana. The bus station is really a very wide roundabout with the Triton Fountain at it's centre...
National Museum of Archaeology
5 Reviews All the famous sculptures and many other things. Interesting museum. Notice the roof when going in to the museum, it´s painted all over. We had a great luck, because one of our favourite artists, Anthony Mucha exhibition was on right at the time!

13 Reviews Cafe Cordinia is a charming restaurant on the main street in Valletta. There are tables inside as well as a take away service and outside seating. The service was quick and efficient even though they were quite busy. The prices were slightly higher than other cafe’s in the area. Caffe latte 2.80 Hot...

Whenever we go its always packed and the portions are small. The menu has a vast selection however I was disappointed as the food was not very good neither ! My...
Nightlife? What nightlife!? :)
5 Reviews For clubbing and nightlife, everybody in Malta go to Paceville area. This is place out of Valletta, near St Julians which you can reach wheather by car or by a regular bus. It is like a nightlife zone in Malta. There are many clubs, discos, pubs and caffes in Paceville. The most popular clubs are...
3 Reviews Having seen that the info and tips already contained here are now quite outdated, please note that The Pub changed hands 3-4 years ago and is run by an English / Maltese couple and is now open much more regularly, with a larger selection of Draughts and Spirits.
28 Reviews Malta have introduced new buses from July 2011 run by Arriva. The old buses which were fun and had character have been replaced by bland modern buses run by Arriva. The bus service from StJulians to valletta is now a nightmare typically taking up to an hour. It is quicker either to walk direct to...
8 Reviews We were planning to go one day from Sliema to Valletta or other way around with the ferry. BUt at those 8 days we spent at the Malta, we only saw the ferry going coupple of times. Even if it seemd very calm, and it should be going according the timetable, it didn´t! So don´t count on it, it it isn´t...
5 Reviews These offer traditional horse cab rides to the City and around Valletta. The service is available in the road adjacent right outside the Forni Terminal for cruise passengers and there is a "horse stand" in the centre of Republic Road. Prices are negotiable with the cab driver.
23 Reviews Republic Street is the main street in Valletta. It starts at the City Gate and goes to Fort Sant Elmo. Here you can see lots of shops and cafes. One of the things I liked most on this street was this florist stall. It is opened only in the morning. Unfortunately this pic doesn't do justice to this...
17 Reviews They were built as a private garden of the Italian knights. From these gardens you can enjoy great views of the Grand Harbour and of the Three Cities (Senglea Vittoriosa and Cospicua). Here you can sit on a bench; have a drink (there is a kiosk) and rest. The Saluting Battery. It is an area...
