Manoel Theatre

If you’re a fan of opera and the performing arts, then a visit to the Manoel Theatre is certainly on the agenda. Constructed in 1731, this exquisite theatre is a treasured piece of Maltese culture and history.

]]> Malta is an incredible island that seamlessly weaves together a tapestry of cultures, history, and breathtaking landscapes. Found in the heart of the Mediterranean, this archipelago is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Malta’s rich history unfolds as you wander through its ancient streets, where megalithic temples, medieval cities, and Baroque architecture coexist harmoniously. Valletta, the capital, is a World Heritage site and a living testament to the island’s diverse heritage.

Malta’s diverse cultural influences are a result of its strategic geographical location in the central Mediterranean, making it a crossroads for various civilizations throughout history. The island’s unique position has exposed it to a multitude of cultures, each leaving its mark on Malta’s heritage. The fusion of influences from Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and Norman eras is palpable in Malta’s cuisine, a delightful melange of flavors and textures. Indulge in pastizzi, explore the colorful markets, and savor fresh seafood by the azure waters.

Beyond the historical allure, Malta boasts crystal-clear waters, inviting you to explore its underwater wonders. Snorkel in the Blue Lagoon or dive into the mysterious Blue Hole, and you’ll find a vibrant marine world beneath the surface.

]]> One of the smallest nations in the world, Malta is nonetheless filled with intrigue. With ancient sites stemming from Roman, Moorish, and French rule as well as clear blue waters and hidden caves, this Mediterranean island has plenty to offer. Here are some of the things that you can do to make an unforgettable one-day vacation in Malta.

Casa Rocca Piccola

This 16th-century palace was home to the noble Maltese family de Piro. Although still privately owned by a local noble family, this palace is open to the public, providing you with an inside look at what noble life in Malta once looked like.

St. John’s Co-Cathedral

While this Catholic country is home to many churches, the St. John’s Co-Cathedral has emerged as a national monument. Built by the Knights of King John in the 16th century, this cathedral boasts an elegant baroque design on the outside while housing many treasures within.

Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens

While most of the Maltese capital city of Valletta consists of cobbled streets and stone, the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens are filled with green, tranquil nature. This park consists of lush gardens, benches, and statues and memorials scattered throughout. There is also a cafe at the Upper Gardens where you can grab a beverage to cool off on a hot summer’s day.

]]> Malta is one of Europe’s most beautiful island countries and tiny wonders are scattered all around it. One of the most spectacular ones is Popeye Village, a lively family attraction that comes with an incredible backstory.

Located on the shores of Anchor Bay, this village once served as the set of 1980 live-action musical Popeye, starring Robin Williams. It’s been four decades since this project was filmed, but the rustic wooden buildings built for that purpose still remain in Malta, largely intact.

The set of Popeye is still around and it’s been converted into one of the prime tourist attractions on this tiny island. Popeye Village is especially popular with families visiting Malta due to its kid-friendly nature, live shows with performers dressed as Popeye and Olive Oyl, and many exciting rides and playhouses they can explore.

Due to Malta’s small size, Popeye Village can be easily accessed by bus or car from other parts of the city, and there are even a drop-off service and organized tours. Entrance fees vary depending on the season, and Popeye Village is usually open every day between 9:30 and 17:30, with the exception of the winter period between November and March when it closes one hour earlier.

]]> Did you know that Malta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world? In fact, it’s 27km long and 14.5km wide, yet packs more than 420,000 inhabitants!

The gorgeous country is blessed with perfect weather for most of the year, blissful scenery, and long, thin stretches of white sand and crystal clear turquoise water.

And if you’re planning a trip to Malta anytime soon, check out these interesting and things about this charming island!

Malta means “honey”

The name of this island nation is derived from a Greek word meaning “honey,” which makes sense because Malta is home to a very special, endemic species of bees that produce a one-of-a-kind type of good quality honey.

There is a church for every day of the year

Malta definitively has a lot of churches for such a small country. The Maltese take their religion quite seriously – church attendance is among the highest in Europe.

The food is super tasty but fattening

Malta’s most popular dishes include pastizzi, a greasy, cholesterol-spiking yet delicious pastry, rabbit stew, pasta and seafood delicacies.

]]> Traveling Europe in wintertime can be tricky if you don’t enjoy chilly weather, but there’s a couple of countries where it’s rarely freezing cold. Here are a few places to keep in mind if you’re in the mood to enjoy mild temperatures.

Malta

Cyprus

Cyprus is another gorgeous island country you can fully enjoy even once temperatures drop.

27 декабря пять лет назад мы прилетели на Кипр на зимовку. Помню, как гуляли по Молосу, кстати, в футболках, как все туристы😅(при такой же температуре воздуха мы сегодня гуляли в толстовках и жарко не было ни капли😜)и разговаривали о том, как неплохо было бы переехать на этот чудесный островок..) ..полтора года спустя мы паковали чемоданы.. ⠀ #цветнастроениясиний💙 #жизньнакипре

]]> Did you know that Malta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world? In fact, it’s 27km long and 14.5km wide, yet packs more than 420,000 inhabitants!

The gorgeous country is blessed with perfect weather for most of the year, blissful scenery, and long, thin stretches of white sand and crystal clear turquoise water.

And if you’re planning a trip to Malta anytime soon, check out these interesting and things about this charming island!

Malta means “honey”

The name of this island nation is derived from a Greek word meaning “honey,” which makes sense because Malta is home to a very special, endemic species of bees that produce a one-of-a-kind type of good quality honey.

There is a church for every day of the year

Malta definitively has a lot of churches for such a small country. The Maltese take their religion quite seriously – church attendance is among the highest in Europe.

The food is super tasty but fattening

Malta’s most popular dishes include pastizzi, a greasy, cholesterol-spiking yet delicious pastry, rabbit stew, pasta and seafood delicacies.
