Malta is a destination that rewards the solo traveller. Small enough to explore freely, rich enough to keep you captivated — and with wellness experiences that make the perfect counterpoint to a day of discovery.
1. Exploring Historical Sites
Begin by traversing Mdina, the 'Silent City', with its narrow medieval alleys and historic architecture that seem untouched by time. Continue to Valletta and visit St. John's Co-Cathedral, a testament to Baroque opulence adorned with masterful artistry — one of the most impressive interiors in Europe.
2. Enjoying the Beaches and Water Activities
Head to Golden Bay or Ramla Bay for a quintessential Mediterranean beach experience. The waters here are some of the clearest in the region. For the more adventurous, snorkelling, scuba diving, and paddleboarding near the Blue Grotto are not to be missed.
3. Immersing Yourself in Maltese Culture
Explore local markets, sample traditional Maltese cuisine — ftira, pastizzi, and rabbit stew — attend cultural events, and visit the ancient Tarxien Temples. If you want to go deeper, join a local cooking class and learn to prepare Maltese dishes yourself.
