Top 10 attractions in Qala
Victoria
The capital of Gozo was renamed from Rabat in 1887 toVictoria, to mark the coronation of Queen Victoria. The city is built on a steep, conical hill, and the Citadel at the summit is a famous local attraction. A walk around it offers panoramic views of the entire island. The city has a rustic charm, with a network of paths, surrounding countryside, and houses built entirely from local stone.Victoria · 6.3 km from Qala
Old Mint Street
Old Mint Streetis a narrow, steep street in the old town of Valletta, the capital of Malta, stretching from the city gate down the slope toward the sea. The "Mint" in the street name is a literal translation of the English word "mint," which actually refers not to the herb, but to the minting workshop established on this street during the time of the Knights Hospitaller. In Maltese, it is still called "Mint Street" today. The street is lined with old houses built of honey-colored limestone, with colorful enclosed wooden balconies cantilevered from the walls. The red, green, and blue paint against the warm yellow walls creates one of the most recognizable streetscapes in Valletta.Valletta · 23.5 km from Qala
Ramla Beach
Ramla Bay is located in the north of Gozo, Malta. The sand here is rich in iron and has an orange-red color, so it is also called "red beach". It has a sharp color difference with the blue sea and has become a popular local attraction.Nadur · 3.7 km from Qala
Upper Barrakka
Upper Barrakkais located on the ramparts of Valletta overlooking the Grand Harbour, built on the top tier of the St. Peter and St. Paul Bastion. The garden's seaside colonnade was built in 1661, commissioned by the Italian knights of the Order of St. John; originally covered, it was later converted into the open-air style seen today. Walk along the row of arches to the viewing platform, where you can take in the blue waters of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities on the opposite shore; the port shipyards and the old and new streets in the lower parts of Valletta are also clearly visible. Several statues and monuments are scattered between the columns, including a replica of "Street Urchins" by Maltese sculptor Antonio Sciortino, which is worth a closer look. It is a perfect place for a leisurely stroll.Valletta · 23.9 km from Qala
Blue Grotto
Blue Grottois located on the southern coast of Malta and is a series of sea caves formed by years of seawater erosion, as well as one of the representatives of Malta's "Three Blues" views. The cave system consists of several chambers, and the entrance to the main cave is a natural arch tens of m high. Its name in Maltese literally translates to "under the arch." The water inside the cave is exceptionally clear. When sunlight shines into the entrance, the water surface takes on a transparent, almost sky-blue hue, while algae and marine life in the water reflect orange, purple, and green spots onto the cave walls, with light and shadow changing constantly depending on the angle of illumination.Qrendi · 27.2 km from Qala

Dingli Cliffs
The Dingli Cliffs are a natural defense line on the island of Malta. Looking into the distance from the cliff, the field of vision is very broad, with a panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea. There is a walking trail along the way to the cliff, and the surrounding scenery is also very good.Had-Dingli · 21.5 km from Qala

What travelers say about Qala
YoYo_0T9A3B0LSeptember 1, 2026
5.0
Victoria is the old town of Gozo, perched atop a hill. The houses are made of beige limestone, with peeling plaster in some places revealing the underlying rubble. The streets are narrow, and cats often perch in corners or on doorsteps. The hilltop castle is a converted fortification; from its walls, one can see the island's fields and the distant sea. The old town has some shops and cafes, but it's usually quiet with few tourists; you can occasionally hear the clanging of spatulas as you walk through the alleys. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for those who aren't in a rush.

Malta's Jopohe Street is located in the old town. It is the most intuitive place to feel the living conditions of the local people. Although it is very shabby, it is very nostalgic, just like going back to the streets of my hometown when I was a child.

A must-see attraction in Valletta, but it is not very interesting. It is a must-see attraction. There are many people but the flow is fast. The fort is a must-take background wall.
The sky and water of Malta are the most beautiful scenery on the Mediterranean coast. It is a place that cannot be missed in life.

one of the gems of Malta, must seen. You will need to get a boat ride that brings you so close and even inside the caves. Highly recommended 👌

Dingli Cliff, about 253 meters high, is the highest point in the Maltese Islands. It is named after the British knight (Sir. Thomas Dingli) who lived here in the 16th century. The steep cliff extends straight to the sea. It is a natural defense line on the island of Malta. There is a church and a radar station on the edge of the cliff. Looking into the distance on the cliff, the view is very wide. The beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean Sea is in full view. The sea breeze is strong. On the blue sea, waves like lace are rolling up~

This is a military defense building, located next to the seaside. It is also a good place for defense in the open sea. Here you can feel many military facilities and many defensive holes.
