DISCOVER OUR MALTA TOURS AND TRAVEL GUIDE

Visit Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, seafood markets of Marsaxlokk, the silent city of Mdina and more.

Rocky coasts, red sand shorelines, and an exceptional climate make the beaches in Malta especially alluring. But with megalithic temples and Punic-Roman towers, you’ll want to travel to Malta for more than just sunbathing. Our Malta guided tours take a leisurely yet immersive look into the history and culture of this interesting island.

Wander around the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, sniffing out the fresh catch sold at the market stalls. Explore the World Heritage Site in Sliema where some of the world’s oldest structures have stood strong since the Bronze Age. Listen as local historians provide insight into Malta’s involvement in WWI and WWII at the National War Museum.

When you’re not touring the colourful capital city of Valletta or enjoying a relaxed visit to the Silent City of Mdina, you’ll taste the many cultural influences from Italy, France, and Arabia that make Malta food so flavorful.

What to Eat in Malta

Premium Dining on Every Tour

Malta food, like other cuisine in the Mediterranean, has far more than one regional influence. Provencal, Italian, Arabic, and British cultures all left their marks on hearty dishes like lampuki pie, aljotta soup, and Maltese-style pizza.

You can’t go wrong with a traditional Malta food like rabbit stew. Stuffat tal-fenek, Malta’s national dish, finds rabbit braised alongside carrots, potatoes, garlic, and more.

Ftira, a Maltese bread, is a favourite find among visitors. This soft, flat bread is ring-shaped and topped with everything from oil and olives to tuna and tomatoes.

Find a fishing village in Malta and you’ll surely find a savoury lampuki pie. Lampuki, the Maltese name for mahi-mahi, is baked in a pastry with tomatoes, olives, and capers.

Did You Know?

Malta’s megalithic temples are among the world’s oldest buildings.

Malta is home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites which include the capital city of Valletta and seven megalithic temples. These historic sites, including the Haġar Qim, Ggantija, Skorba, Ta Hagrat, Tarxien, and Mnajdra, are thought to be some of the oldest free-standing buildings in the world. Built during the Bronze Age likely before Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza, these prehistoric structures are remarkably sophisticated in design, aesthetic, and engineering.
