Malta, you've completely captured my heart

#Overseas travel Malta, a small jewel-like country in the middle of the Mediterranean. With a long history of 7,000 years, it is a place where European, Asian, and African cultures are blended. The capital, Valletta, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the entire island is filled with traces of the medieval knights and golden stone buildings. 🚗 Transportation Guide ▪ Flight: After arriving at Malta International Airport, you can take a bus, taxi, or rental car ▪ Ferry: You can take a ferry departing from Sicily, Italy ▪ Rental car: Since you drive on the left side of the road, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the driving rules in advance. Be careful because the roads in the old city are narrow! 🏠 Accommodation recommendations ▪ We recommend staying in Valletta or Sliema! It is a popular area with convenient transportation, great restaurants, shopping, and even a sea view. It is also good value for money. 📍 Must-see attractions ▪ Valletta | Valletta The smallest capital in Europe and the central city of Malta. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site! St. John's Cathedral is decorated in a magnificent Baroque style, and the Upper Barrakka Garden overlooks the Great Harbour. Don't miss the Cannon Ceremony at noon! ▪ Mdina This medieval city, nicknamed the 'Quiet City', was once the capital of Malta. The narrow streets and quaint buildings retain their medieval atmosphere. The view of the island of Malta from the Mdina Cathedral and the outer city walls is truly fantastic, especially at sunset! ▪ Blue Grotto A representative natural attraction in Malta. When the morning sunlight shines on the underwater cave, the water turns a deep blue color as if by magic. The point is to take a boat and explore the cave! Tip: It's the prettiest to go in the morning. The colors created by the sunlight are the best! ▪ Gozo Island | Gozo If you want a quieter and more rural atmosphere, go to Gozo Island! You can see the entire island from Fort Victoria, and the Blue Lagoon on nearby Comino Island is famous for snorkeling and swimming. The water color is so pretty! ▪ Three Cities | Three Cities Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua, located across from Valletta A port city that is older than Valletta, with traces of the Knights of Malta everywhere. Vittoriosa in particular has many museums and historical sites, and you should definitely try crossing the Great Harbour on a traditional wooden boat! ▪ Marsaxlokk | Marsaxlokk The most famous fishing village in Malta. It is famous for its colorful Luzgu boats and lively Sunday fish market. From fresh local fish dishes to Maltese seafood stews—they’re really delicious! You’ll regret missing out on a meal at a seaside restaurant, especially. Malta is a small but deep, small but full travel destination. If you want to experience the romance of the Middle Ages and the Mediterranean at the same time, go to Malta!
