Interesting places in Maltahome > Malta sights > towns and villagesThere is modern, urban living at its fastest with cafés, nightlife, clubs and restaurants. Then there are unique baroque towns and cities, sleepy villages and bustling fishing ports. There are places in which to live it up, or while away time. Malta is to enjoy life at its simplest one day and at its most cosmopolitan the next. However short your stay, it’s possible to have a taste of Island life from traditional villages to urban resorts. Malta’s capital, the World Heritage City Valletta, and the medieval fortified towns of Mdina and Cittadella, Gozo, are the Islands' historical highlights. Sliema, Bugibba, Qawra and St Julian's in Malta and Marsalforn and Xlendi in Gozo are the main resorts. They bustle with activity, and not just in summer. Valletta is a cornucopia of European art and architecture. This city of the Knights remains virtually intact. Its streets flanked by palaces and tiny, old-world shops. Across Grand Harbour lie the Three Cities of Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa. Older than Valletta, they offer a fascinating insight into the Islands’ maritime fortunes. The southern fishing village of Marsaxlokk and neighbouring resort town of Marsascala are also worth a visit. With little effort, just a desire to explore, you’ll find inland
towns and villages with character and treasures of their own. Churches
reveal masterpieces by the artists to the Knights while each village square
is a slice of history, its café-bar the hub of rural life. previous: Malta sights | next: useful information |
