Valetta
Malta’s capital is a fortress city built in the sixteenth century by the Knights of St John. From the Upper Barakka Gardens you can marvel at the bastions, churches and palaces around the magnificent Grand Harbour. Don’t miss beautiful St John’s Cathedral or the sumptuous interior of the Grand Master’s Palace (www.visitmalta.com).

Mdina
The walled town of Mdina is a hilltop treasure trove of medieval mansions and baroque churches. Known as the ‘Silent City’, its narrow winding streets are largely car-free and you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and wonderful views from the Fontanella tea garden on the city walls.

Beaches
Malta has sunshine all year. The most popular beach is Mellieha Bay and there are two beautiful sandy stretches right next to each other at Ghajn Tuffieha and Golden Bay. The crystal-clear waters make Malta ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving, too.

Neolithic temples
Built 1,000 years before the Pyramids, the island’s 25 Neolithic temples are as mysterious and awe-inspiring as Stonehenge. Hypogeum, with its underground tomb, is one of the best sites, but you’ll need to book ahead. Find out more at the Archaeology Museum in Valetta (www.heritagemalta.org).

Gozo
Leave the crowds behind and take the ferry to Malta’s sister island of Gozo. Tourism hasn’t made much impact and the rural pace of life is blissfully relaxed. The craggy coastline is beautiful too, with secluded coves, including the lovely red-sand beach at Ramla Bay (www.islandofgozo.org).
