Discover Malta – Where History Meets the Mediterranean

Situated in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast Malta is a dream destination for anyone with a love for culture and storytelling. 

With over 7,000 years of history and home to some of the oldest free-standing temples in the world, these islands have welcomed the Phoenicians, Romans, Knights of St. John, Napoleon, and the British Empire. Exploring Malta’s incredible fortifications and jaw-dropping architecture is like walking through a living museum, it seems every corner has a story to tell. A trip here is truly a journey through time, from prehistoric wonders to the modern day.

Malta is a living museum, rich with history and culture at every turn. Discover seven UNESCO Megalithic Temples, the extraordinary Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, and the Domus Romana, where original Roman mosaics still shine. Wander the historic streets of Valletta, explore world-class museums, and enjoy interactive exhibits that bring the past to life. With its stunning Mediterranean scenery and timeless heritage, Malta is a destination where every moment becomes an unforgettable experience.

Mdina – The Silent City

Step inside Mdina’s fortified walls and let yourself be transported back 4,000 years. Narrow cobblestone streets, elegant palaces, and beautifully preserved baroque churches give this former capital its timeless charm. Known as “The Silent City,” Mdina is a rare place where time seems to stand still. Don’t miss its majestic Cathedral, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693 and adorned with marble tombstones of Malta’s most notable figures. Perched high on a plateau, Mdina offers sweeping views of the island, and its quiet elegance leaves visitors captivated.
