Tourist Attractions & Monuments Malta

The coastline along the districts of Sliema and St Julian's offers many rocky walls that have been built to allow you to take a dip. Sometimes with Valletta as a backdrop, just a stone's throw from the traffic. This beach has the peculiarity of being watched over by lifeguards and the great originality of this rocky part is that it preserves old saltworks that have been converted into natural swimming pools. It is really worth the detour and the photo. Other spots in Sliema: Fort Tigné, Qui si-Sana, Għar id-Dud and Exiles.

A very popular rocky beach in the north of Malta. Scuba divers make it one of their favorite spots, and end-of-day barbecues are festive. The bay and its clear waters will delight snorkelers, although beware of the depth of the water (7-8 meters) and the rocky walls, which can hurt children if they come into contact with the strong current. Many boats drop anchor here, their zone clearly marked by buoys. Parasols and deckchairs available for hire. A late evening at the Café del Mar, with its idyllic sunset, will convince you to put your bags down.

If you're particularly sensitive to the empathy that can be created between man and animal, you'll be charmed by this visit to the Salina ornithological park. You'll discover a colorful little bird addicted to ayurvedic massages, a beady-eyed owl that will snuggle up to you, and an extremely talkative parrot begging to be cuddled. The park works mainly with school groups. Call ahead if you're looking for a quiet retreat accompanied by this wonderful team of enthusiasts.

You've seen them everywhere, these rounded, streamlined, often feminine sculptures, carved from globigerine, the beautiful local stone. Here's your chance to meet Joe Xuereb, copied but never equalled by so many craftsmen today! 30 years ago, Joe was trying to reproduce a Neolithic statue found in a temple. This was to be followed by a lot of work, a continuous flirtation with the objects found on the island by archaeologists, until he created an obvious artistic identity, today propelled on the international scene where he is nicknamed the "Gozitan Botero"! Joe will be delighted to open the doors of his studio, 100 m from the village church, free of charge. Don't hesitate for a second, especially as Joe speaks excellent French!

In this place, wilder and more relaxing than the rest of the north coast, you can, like the Maltese, find a secluded picnic spot between low walls, cacti and abundant low vegetation.

Dahlet ix-Xilep is the northernmost point of Marfa, and the straight road leads directly to it. It offers a fine view of the entire north coast, from Mellieha to the Hilton Tower in St Julian's. The wind sometimes blows very hard. A chapel and a small white statue of the Madonna soften the wild aspect of the place.

At Ahrax Point, the White Tower keeps watch. It's one of the Redin towers built along the north coast on the model of the Wignacourt tower in St Paul's Bay.

Between Ahrax and Cirkewwa are a succession of sandy beaches, much loved by the Maltese but little known to tourists. Maltese families come here for picnics. Some have their own boats or cabins, more or less well equipped. They almost form a small village around Armier Bay, gaining ground on the hillside and the pretty mosaic of walled terraced cultivations.

A little further back towards Cirkewwa is Little Armier. This is a busier place. Here you'll find snack bars with lido on the water's edge. Each brightens up the site with its colorful umbrellas. The beach here is half sand, half rock, the water is crystal-clear and the view over Gozo unobstructed. Volleyball and water sports are available on site, as well as loungers on fine sand under imported palm trees. These beaches are very popular at weekends.

Anthony and Marisa have a passion for wine in them. Independently and with a lot of work, they have managed to revive the family's old vineyard. Today no chemical herbicides are used and they try to work in the most natural way possible. Their wines are the result of their efforts. After booking in advance, you can visit their estate in a spectacular setting. At the end of a tour of about an hour and a half, there will be a tasting of 4 wines, accompanied by bread and cheese from Gozo.

Transfers airport, taxi, accommodation, car rental, scooters, quad and boat, tours of the island by land or by sea… Both brothers and mothers manage with dynamism a small, versatile family business that has the sense of hospitality and personalized service. Ideally located in Gozo just at the ferry exit.

Among the establishments involved in the economy of Attard are the ceramic factory behind the presidential palace and the Simonds Farsons brewery, which is located on the outskirts of the city, making the Kinnie aromatic drink and Maltese beer Cisk.

Featuring interactive museology, it will enable you to discover the evolution of Malta's fortifications. Located in rue Saint-Marc, it aims to explore the evolution of Malta's fortresses throughout the island's history, and to bring to life a vanished world in order to better understand the different stages of the island's fortifications and the defense strategies implemented by its administrators throughout its history.

Why not take advantage of your stay in Malta to discover its larger neighbor, Sicily? An island that, on a clear day, you'll surely have flown over before arriving in Malta. This company proposes a day of discovery with the following key points: departure by catamaran from Valletta, arrival in Pozzallo, a small fishing village, then a visit by coach to set course for Mount Etna (Silvestri craters), lunch, then discovery of Syracuse and Greek culture in Sicily. Stop-offs to sample wines and honey-almond sweets.

The very recent Sainte-Thérèse church, with its flying saucer appearance, has a modernity designed to impress, despite a slightly artisanal feel. Although originally dedicated to Saint Alphonsus, the local population continues to call it Sainte-Thérèse due to the presence of an urn bearing her effigy.

The old building was damaged by a lightning strike in 1959. The new one is now one of the island's most popular places of worship.

This complex is considered to be the most important Paleochristian funerary complex outside the Rabat region. These hypogea were first recorded in the late 1800s, but were only studied in 1933 by Captain Charles Zammit. Further studies were carried out in 2004, 2013 and 2014, and the site was opened to the public in 2015. It is 90 metres long and comprises 57 tombs in 16 chambers. An orientation center and audio guide help visitors to organize their visit.

Throughout the Maltese archipelago, you'll find almost a dozen information points to help you on your journey (see www.visitmalta.com for a full list with addresses and contact details). You'll find one as soon as you arrive at the airport, and the most important is just outside Valletta, to the left of the Triton fountain before you pass the city walls. Here you'll find information about the city and the whole archipelago.
