Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea, is packed with charm in its small size♡ Today, we will introduce Marsaxlokk, a port town in the south of Malta! Delicious seafood, cute boats, and a Sunday market are held on Sunday mornings, and it is crowded with tourists and locals alike♪ At the Sunday market, you can buy fruits, fish, daily necessities, and even souvenirs at bargain prices! I definitely recommend that you visit Malta at least once! #EuropeanTrip #RemoteIslandTourism

The Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS), located on the site of the 17th-century Ospizio fortress in Floriana, not only features international artworks but also hosts dedicated exhibitions showcasing Maltese contemporary art.

Head to the stunning capital city of Malta, that is Valletta. Known for its museums, palaces and grand churches, this walled city is a cultural masterpiece. After walking in through the city gate, we headed over to Auberge de Castille. Sitting at the highest point of Valletta, this building was built in the beautiful Baroque style architecture in the 1740’s. From here, you can get some great panoramic views of the city, and it is also just a stones throw away from the Upper Barraka. Many people describe this as one of the best views in Malta, and they’re not wrong. The garden is beautiful in its own right, but when you step out onto the terrace and are treated to the views of the grand harbour and the three cities, you can’t help but be blown away. It’s also from here that you can witness a bit of history that you won’t want to miss. Every day apart from Sunday, at midday and 4pm, the guns are fired from a restored British Saluting battery, located at the lower tier of the bastion. Here’s my top tip - don’t pay for entry into the bastion. You get a perfect view from the gardens, and you don’t have to pay a penny. By this time, you’ve probably worked up an appetite, so after a bit more exploring, make sure you grab a pastizz. It’s a savoury pastry, with either ricotta or curried peas inside. They’re a cheap eat, so why not grab one of each! To finish off the day, make sure you check out Valletta at night. One particular highlight is the Triton Fountain after sunset. You’ll want to marvel in its beauty as it’s lit up. #malta #valletta #europe #travel

As you wander around Floriana and Valletta you may stumble across some open, stone paved areas covered in circular stone slabs. They may seem quite strange and you may wonder what they are; well these are in fact granaries. The stone slabs you can see are actually the tops or lids . The granaries pictured are actually right at the end of the aptly named Grain Street, just outside the old main entrance to Fort Saint Elmo. The granaries were built in the 17th and 18th centuries to be able to provide storage within the fortifications in case of a siege. #celebrateit #mediterranean #valletta

A dramatic and popular landmark right at the entrance to the capital city of of Malta, Valletta. The Titan fountain was constructed in the late 1950s, and was designed to complement the old original entrance to Valletta, which was subsequently demolished in 1964. It had to go undergo extensive repairs in 1978 when it collapsed. Until very recently the area immediately around the Titan fountain was the main bus terminal. In 2018 the bus terminal was shifted further south and the whole area around the fountain was turned into a piazza. #celebrateit #malta #mediterranean #fountain

Well, to be honest, I don’t know if Malta is the best place to celebrate Christmas but for a small country, they do go in for Christmas in a big way. Almost all towns and cities will have Christmas lights up in the main streets, churches will be covered in Christmas lights and in the capital city Valletta they have a bustling Christmas market. #celebrateit #christmas #christmaslights #christmasmarket

The nighttime Christmas market in Valetta, the capital city of Malta is a joyous occasion. There are rides, market stalls, selling all sorts of goods there are food and wine stalls, selling mulled wine and other delicious delights. If you’re in Malta Christmas time, it’s a lovely way to spend the evening, see all the lights and the Triton Fountain lit up, will get you in the Christmas spirit. #getgoing2025 #christmas #market #christmasmarket

📍Triton Fountain, Vjal Nelson, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta ✅Triton Fountain encountered after visiting Valletta, the capital of Malta There are amusement rides such as a carousel and a Ferris wheel, and a market decorated with Christmas decorations selling various snacks. A place that kids would love! 💡There were hardly any people around 10 am, but the number of people increased significantly around 12 pm. It's similar to any tourist destination, but if you want to feel quiet, I recommend visiting in the morning #Winter travel destination
