Charming cities, colourful architecture, tranquil beaches and friendly people - Malta is a treasure trove of experiences for travellers in search for some rest and relaxation! The archipelago is filled with fossil studded cliffs, ancient temples, beautiful coves, and stunning landscapes, and this alone makes the country worth a visit.

One of the most interesting things about Malta is that it's a super tiny country, which means that you can arguably see the entire country in one trip. How many other places can offer you that experience?

You cannot go to Malta and not see the capital city, Valletta. Though miniscule (the city measures 1 km by 600 meters), it is filled with bustling restaurants, cafes, townhouses, museums, galleries, public art spaces and a vibrant nightlife. No wonder the entire city has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a great place to get acquainted with Maltese culture before exploring the rest of the country.

While travelling in Malta, you should also visit Mdina, which looks like something out of Game of Thrones. Also known as the Silent City, Mdina is a completely enclosed city that's built within a fortress. It houses only 250 people and is filled with Norman and Baroque architecture.

If you're envisioning a beachy vacation for yourself, then you need to head down to Sliema, which is a coastal city and a major commercial spot filled with restaurants, bars, hotels and cafes. You can take a walk down the promenade in Sliema and marvel at the stunning views of the open seas.

Finally, if your idea of the perfect vacation is one where you get party and live it up in rocking clubs and pubs, then you definitely need to visit St Julian's or San Gijlan. You can also go on a lovely cruise that circles the Balta Bay from this city and add another dimension of fun to your holiday.
