Things To Do in Malta

Malta is a small island sitting in the Mediterranean Sea, right off the coast of Europe. While the island is fairly small, it's home to a large number of people and a variety of attractions. One of the top things to do in Malta is visit St. John's Co-Cathedral. Built in the sixteenth century, many people know the cathedral because ancient knights worshipped there.

If you plan a trip to the cathedral, wear proper church attire though, as the church won't let you through the doors if you’re wearing shorts or stiletto heels.

Look for Malta excursions to other places on the island too. Fort Rinella in Kalkara is worth a trip if you love history. This fort dates back to the late 1800s, and it still has some of the original cannons and other weaponry on display. You can also take Malta tours of Mdina, which is home to the Mdina Old City. The original walls surrounding and protecting the city are still in place, and as you walk down the streets, you'll see remnants of what the city once looked like.

If you love tourist destinations, you'll want to visit Hal Saflieni Hypogeum. Construction workers discovered the remains of this old building when upgrading a newer building at the turn of the twentieth century. Historians believe local residents lived here around 3,000 BC, and those historians found evidence of burial sites. This underground city is one of the must-see places in Malta.

Expedia can help you find some of the other best spots in the Land of Honey. You can find out about historic buildings like the State Apartments and Casa Rocca Piccola, and you can look for other Malta activities too. Expedia will even show you those locations on a map, which lets you see how close the attractions in Malta are to your hotel. Malta is a gorgeous country, which takes pride in its heritage and history. If you love seeing how people lived in ancient times and enjoy touring buildings dating back to biblical times, Malta is the perfect vacation spot.
