Charming and Luxury Hotels in Valletta – The Baroque Fortress and UNESCO Heritage of Malta

Valletta, the capital of Malta, is a unique fortified city, a veritable open-air museum. Founded by the Knights Hospitaller in the 16th century, it is entirely recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its extraordinary collection of Baroque palaces, majestic churches, and imposing fortifications. Staying here means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of a bygone era, with the possibility of enjoying elegant charming accommodations created from ancient auberges. Its narrow, steep streets hide boutiques and restaurants offering an authentic, luxurious, and historical Mediterranean experience.

What Our Local Experts Recommend to See: Art, History, and Fortifications

St. John's Co-Cathedral – A Baroque masterpiece, housing the famous canvas by Caravaggio, The Beheading of St. John the Baptist. Unmissable.
Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens – Offer the best panoramic view of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua). We recommend witnessing the ceremonial cannon firing.
Grandmaster's Palace – Historic seat of the Knights' government, today housing the Office of the President of Malta and Parliament.
Forts and Walls (Fort St. Elmo) – Testimony to the impressive military past, now home to the National War Museum.

Gastronomy and Typical Products (What to Taste)

Pastizzi – Savoury puff pastries filled with ricotta or peas, Malta's most iconic street food. Perfect for a quick and authentic lunch.
Fenek Moqli (Fried Rabbit) – The national dish, often stewed or fried, very flavourful.
Hobz biz-Zejt – Maltese bread seasoned with olive oil, tomato, tuna, capers, and olives. An excellent Maltese version of bruschetta.
Maltese Wines – The small island produces surprising wines, such as Marnisi and Gellewza. To be tried at a local wine bar.

Experiences and Activities Suggested by Our Travel Designers

Malta Experience Show – A multimedia historical film that offers an engaging overview of the island's history, a great way to start the visit.
Ferry to the Three Cities – A short boat crossing (or Dgħajsa) to explore the historic settlements opposite Valletta, a real experience of Maltese harbour life.
Malta Jazz Festival (July) – A prominent event taking place in a breathtaking setting at the foot of the fortified walls.
