End of World War II
Most people connect Malta with the end of the World War II, emergence of the United States and Soviet Russia as great world powers, setting the stage for long cold war, and a black and white photograph in history books of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin smoking cigarette, cigar and pipe respectively. But Malta is more than the site of a recent historical event.
Mysterious aura
This Mediterranean island, with human habitation from times immemorial, has a mysterious aura about it. Wherever you go you will see magnificent archaeological remains built centuries ago by our creative ancestors.
Explore its capital city and villages – as much as you can – on foot and get amazed at the sights of old cathedrals and ornamental palaces you pass by while walking down the narrow and winding streets. There are ruins of many ancient monuments in the island’s countryside. They look stunning in the open with the blue Mediterranean in the background and the bluer sky above these crumbling edifices.
Heritage
The island’s built heritage indicates that a prosperous and developed community lived here even 7000 years ago. Seafaring adventurous Greeks and Romans came here centuries ago and left their legacies in many forms.
The capital city
Valletta, the Maltese capital, has many tourist attractions. The baffling megalithic temples are perhaps the oldest freestanding structures in the world. Don’t miss the underground catacombs of St Paul and St Agatha. Visit Fort Rinella where the world’s largest canon is kept. Amongst the modern structures are the buildings associated with World War II like the war shelter, ex-British military buildings, the Armory and the Marritime Museum.
Local cuisine
Maltese cuisine evolved because of the island’s long association with invaders coming from different countries with different cultural backgrounds over a long period of time. The traditional Maltese food is a bit rustic, mainly fish and beef based. They eat a lot of seasonal vegetables with a mix of onion, garlic and tomatoes, always with a generous outpouring of olive oil.
Nightlife
Most Mediterranean people love to enjoy their nightlife. Malta gets vibrant after the sun goes down. The island abounds with well-stocked wine bars and pubs serving beer and varieties of alcoholic drinks. Dine at one of lively harbor restaurants. You may even get tempted to try your luck at the casino.

Getting around this small island is relatively easy. Walk as much as you can or take a cheap bus ride or a taxi if you aren’t fond of walking.
Gozo beckons
