About Malta

Malta has been a meeting place for a host of people for over 7000 years. Our legacy is a sophisticated society surrounded by living history.

The long relationship between the Islanders and the various nationalities who occupied Malta over the centuries has created a combination of styles and traditions, giving the Islands a fascinating eclectic culture.

Malta is the largest island as well as a cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture while Comino is largely uninhabited. With clement weather, a variety of sandy coves and rocky beaches , a thriving nightlife and an intriguing history; there is a great deal to see and do on the Maltese Islands. Walking through quaint villages and discovering captivating places of interest are a must. Prehistoric temples and grand palaces are of great interest to the discerning visitor. UNESCO have given World Heritage recognition to Valletta, The Neolithic Temples and the Hypogeum.
