Malta tours

If you’re looking for fun, sun, sights, and adventure in a slightly off the beaten track tourist spot, Malta is the ideal destination. Situated off the coast of Sicily, the officially-named ‘Republic of Malta’ is a small island, measuring just over 300 sq. km. While Malta is one of Europe’s smallest countries, it is the largest in the archipelago of Maltese Islands as well as the cultural, commercial, and administrative core. Malta tours will open your eyes to all there is to see and do on this memorable island.

Malta Sightseeing Tours will reveal some of the oldest known human structures which have rendered this island a virtual open-air museum. As a Malta tourist, be sure to visit the Hypogeum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This temple was discovered in 1902 when a stonemason, who was laying the foundations for a house, uncovered the remains of over 7,000 people dating back to 3600 BC. Another must-see Megalithic temple is Ggantija, the oldest freestanding temple in the world.


The capital of Malta, Valletta, is one of the island’s main tourist destinations, offering a stunning view of the Grand Harbour, which has been labeled the most spectacular in the Mediterranean. It is also home to the majestic St. John’s Cathedral and the beautiful Barrakka Gardens and its narrow streets are lined with Renaissance cathedrals and Baroque palaces.
