St John's Co-Cathedral
The Valletta Waterfront

If you're into cocktails, hit up the bars just before sunset (around 7 PM) for stunning views of the harbor. The vibe is more laid-back then, and you can score happy hour deals at some places.

After finishing dinner, stroll along the promenade; it’s less crowded at night and offers a cozy atmosphere. I went later on, and it was a perfect way to unwind after a busy day.

I love photography, so I suggest wandering the waterfront around golden hour. The buildings glow beautifully in the evening light, making for great pics without the midday heat melting you.
Basilica of the Virgin Mary Ta-Pina
Megalithic temple complex Mnaidra

Bring water and a snack because there's limited shade and options to grab a bite nearby. I ended up getting really thirsty and regretted not being prepared.

If you're on a budget, consider walking from the nearby beaches rather than paying for a taxi. The scenery along the way is beautiful and it saved me some cash!

I recommend visiting in the early morning around 9 AM. The crowds are minimal then and you can really soak in the peaceful vibes of the ancient site.
Fort Rinella
St. Publius Square
Casa Rossa Piccola

If you're tight on cash, consider walking from the main square instead of taking public transport. It’s a short walk and you’ll stumble upon some other really neat sights along the way!

Make sure to check their website for special events or exhibitions. I got lucky with a cool local art show that wasn’t on my radar but made my visit even better!

You should totally explore the upper levels for a great view of the city. I almost missed it, but it was the highlight of my visit! Just watch your head on the low ceilings.
Palace of the Grand Master

I recommend buying your tickets online in advance to save time waiting in line. I got there and the queue was longer than I expected, so I ended up wasting my first hour!
