Just a couple of weeks ago, before the coronavirus peaked, I traveled to Malta!
Malta is a small archipelago, located just south of Sicily and north of Libya.
It is a popular destination with with its warm climate and historical and architectural monuments. The bus network is one of Europe’s finest, and for just 21€ you can buy a week pass which will get you anywhere.
I have made a list on Google Maps, which you can use to easily guide yourself around all of these amazing places: Malta’s must-visit!
Let me guide you around Malta’s most beautiful spots using my own pictures!
This was the most impressive thing to do in Malta for sure, a boat trip to the Grotto caves.
For just 8 euros you will have a 25-minute boat ride to the caves, awesome experience!
Expect a long waiting line in high season, better come early.
The views from up here on the Blue Grotto are phenomenal.
It is a 10 minute walk down to the entrance of the boat ride to the caves.

This is probably Malta’s most touristic spot and is always busy, but it is so worth it.
The cathedral is unbelievably beautiful. Entrance is 10€ which seems a lot but you get a nice audio guide, available in many languages, explaining every single detail.
Cannot miss this spot!

Right next to the big bus stop of Valletta, you can find Triton fountain, a beautiful sculpture. Come and see it during the day for beautiful sunshine reflection but definitely in the evening as well, since it is beautifully lighted!
The beautiful streets of Valletta, with their typical balconies.

It is not a typical beach as you might know it as there is no sand, just concrete all over.
But the spot is not so known and really beautiful!
Simply the best view over the three cities.
There is a national war museum as well, with cannons lined up, making this place even more special!

Take the ferry from Valletta, offering you the most incredible views!
I got to know about this place by talking to a local who recommended it.
It is a lovely small village in a bay with gorgeous views!
Take a drink or an ice cream, sit and enjoy the bay.
The gorgeous Airbnb I stayed in, located in one of the three cities!
Brutal shot of me! (I am actually not that brutal at all )
This whole experience at Malta was incredible, and in just 5 days, almost the whole island can be explored if you plan it correctly.
Special thanks to 2 amazing ladies, @Stella2 & @user_not_found

Stay safe,
