Valletta is the capital of Malta and lies in the central eastern part of the island and the Valletta Peninsular is home to two natural harbours; Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour, which is Malta's main port that has a number of quays at Marsa. Along the old sea wall of Valletta's waterfront, which was built by Manuel Pinto de Fonseca, there now stands a cruise liner terminal. Many of the city's buildings date back to the 16th century and were built during the reign of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitaller. The mainly Baroque city also has traces of Mannerist, Neo-classical and modern architecture and the effects of the Second World War on the city are clear to see with many scars left behind - particularly the demolition of The Royal Opera House. In 1980 Valletta was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the island's cultural centre with many churches, palaces and museums for tourists to explore.
Ferry services operating from the port depart to Catania and Pozzallo.
Gozo, the second-largest island in Malta, is a hidden Mediterranean gem known for its crystal-clear waters, rugged coastline, and authentic Maltese charm. Smaller and quieter than the main island, Gozo offers a peaceful escape with stunning beaches, historic villages, and scenic countryside trails. It’s a top destination for diving, snorkeling, and adventure travel, attracting visitors to iconic spots like Ramla Bay, Dwejra Bay, and the Inland Sea. Perfect for couples, nature lovers, and digital nomads alike, Gozo Island delivers the ideal blend of tranquility and local culture.
The Valletta Port is conveniently located along the Grand Harbour, making it easily accessible from anywhere in Malta. If you’re arriving from Malta International Airport, it’s about a 15-minute drive or taxi ride. Valletta is also well connected by public buses and ferry services from Sliema and the Three Cities. The Valletta Cruise and Ferry Terminal serves both domestic routes, including the fast ferry to Gozo, and international crossings to Sicily (Pozzallo and Catania). Clear signage, nearby parking, and close proximity to the city centre make Valletta port one of the most convenient in the Mediterranean.
There’s plenty to explore in Valletta, Malta’s cultural capital. Visit the St. John’s Co-Cathedral, admire Caravaggio’s masterpieces, and stroll through the Upper Barrakka Gardens for stunning harbour views. Dive into Maltese history at the Grandmaster’s Palace, explore the National War Museum at Fort St. Elmo, or enjoy a harbour cruise from the waterfront. Don’t miss the lively Republic Street cafés, boutique shops, and traditional Maltese restaurants serving pastizzi and fresh seafood. With its blend of history, art, and Mediterranean lifestyle, Valletta is a city that perfectly combines culture and coastal beauty.
