Filled with 7,000 years of history, this one-day excursion features noteworthy European historical monuments and buildings, including the city’s parliamentary stronghold and the Grand Masters’ Palace.

Explore the Attractions in Valletta
Because Malta is small, cruise-goers to Valletta Grand Harbour can see a lot of sights during a stopover of one day. Not only are tours in Valletta arranged for the three historic cities of Senglea, Vittoriosa and Cospicua, stopovers may also include a short excursion to the famed silent city of Mdina or include a trip to the serene isle of Gozo. For anyone who likes crafts or handmade fare, then the crafts village of Ta’ Quali is a must-see attraction. You can also catch a bus or taxi and explore the Maltese islands on your own. Needless to say, it certainly is not surprising that this part of the world is one of the preferred cruise destinations in the Mediterranean.

Some Other Things to Do in Valletta
Besides the above sites, attractions and historical points of interest, you will find Malta to be a key spot for the display of fine arts as well as theater and musical productions. View the exhibits at the city’s National Museum of Fine Arts or take in an opera, concert or musical at the Valletta Manoel Theatre or at one of the open-air venues that feature this kind of musical entertainment. You simply cannot find so much culture and entertainment in one place – all of which makes you wonder what other sites and attractions you will discover on a Mediterranean cruise holiday.
