Complete travel guide to Malta. Handpicked places including waterfalls, mountain roads, thermal springs, UNESCO sites, scenic drives and hidden gems. All with GPS coordinates.
Electric blue water inside a cliff — sunlight breaks through underwater holes and turns everything turquoise. The boat trip from Wied iż-Żurrieq takes you into a system of six caves along Malta's south coast. The colour shifts every minute as the sun moves.
GPS: 35.8222, 14.4543
A lagoon so blue it looks artificial — crystal-clear water between the islands of Comino and Cominotto. The sand is white, the bottom visible at four metres, and in summer the boats pack in like sardines in this tiny bay.
GPS: 36.0119, 14.3252
Europe's smallest capital — an entire city built by the Knights of St John in 1566 as a fortress against the Ottomans. Every corner has a baroque church, every balcony painted a different colour, and Grand Harbour is one of the Mediterranean's most impressive harbour entrances.
GPS: 35.8989, 14.5146
Two megalithic temples from 3600 BC — older than Stonehenge, older than the pyramids. Ħaġar Qim sits on the clifftop with sea views while Mnajdra, 500 metres below, aligns perfectly with the equinoxes. The oldest freestanding structures on earth.
GPS: 35.8267, 14.4435
An underground temple complex carved from limestone 6,000 years ago — three levels beneath the streets of Paola, with chambers that amplify the human voice into a resonating hum. Only 80 visitors per day, and tickets sell out weeks ahead.
GPS: 35.8700, 14.5072
Malta's ancient capital — called 'The Silent City' because no cars may enter. Behind the massive fortress walls hide narrow alleys, Norman palaces and a cathedral from 1702. In the evening, when day-trippers have left, you hear only your own footsteps.
GPS: 35.8856, 14.4028
Plain limestone outside. Inside, baroque explodes — every square centimetre covered in gilded carvings, paintings and marble. In the oratory hangs Caravaggio's largest painting: The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. The only work he ever signed.
GPS: 35.8977, 14.5126
Three fortified cities squeezed onto peninsulas in Grand Harbour — Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua. The Knights of St John lived here BEFORE they built Valletta. Narrower streets, fewer tourists, and from the bastions you look straight across at Valletta's skyline.
GPS: 35.8849, 14.5236
Malta's highest point — 253 metres above the sea. The cliffs drop vertically into the Mediterranean, and from the edge you see Filfla island sitting out there alone like a grey stone in the blue. At sunset it feels almost unreal.
GPS: 35.8404, 14.4097
Malta's most photogenic harbour — hundreds of brightly coloured luzzu fishing boats with the traditional Eye of Osiris painted on the bow. The Sunday market overflows with fresh fish, and the waterfront restaurants grill everything with lemon.
GPS: 35.8418, 14.5448
A fortified citadel towering over all of Gozo — built in the Middle Ages as refuge against pirates and Ottoman raids. From the ramparts you see the entire island and the Mediterranean in every direction. Inside: a cathedral, museums, and silent alleys where time has simply stopped.
GPS: 36.0456, 14.2390
Two megalithic temples on Gozo from 3600 BC — the name means 'belonging to the giants' because early inhabitants believed only giants could have moved the stones. Blocks weighing up to 50 tonnes, and the complex ranks among the oldest religious structures in the world. A full millennium older than the pyramids.
GPS: 36.0472, 14.2691
Gozo's best beach and Malta's only red-gold sand beach. The bay is sheltered by steep hills, the water crystal-clear, and above the beach lies Calypso's Cave where Odysseus was allegedly held captive for seven years. The sand stains your feet orange.
GPS: 36.0605, 14.2831
Gozo's answer to Dingli Cliffs — 130 metres straight down into the blue. Walking trail along the edge with Bronze Age dolmens hidden in the scrub. No fences, no signs, just you and the drop. The wind strips everything else away.
GPS: 36.0139, 14.2557
A narrow fjord-like inlet cutting between vertical cliff walls — just a few metres wide but with the clearest water on all of Gozo. The steps down are steep, and at the bottom you're alone with the sea and the echo of waves. The Mediterranean in miniature.
GPS: 36.0787, 14.2282
Malta's most popular beach — a wide crescent of golden sand framed by clay cliffs. The sunset here is legendary, and in the evening the beach bars light torches. Next door hides the lesser-known Għajn Tuffieħa — even prettier but harder to reach.
GPS: 35.9337, 14.3446
Built as the set for Robert Altman's 1980 Popeye movie starring Robin Williams — and never torn down. Now a surreal cluster of colourful wooden houses in a bay of turquoise water. Kitsch? Absolutely. Photogenic? Insanely. Malta at its most unexpected.
GPS: 35.9613, 14.3429
500 metres below Ħaġar Qim, overlooking the sea and the small island of Filfla. Mnajdra is perfectly aligned — at the spring equinox, the first ray of sunlight strikes precisely through the central portal. 5,000-year-old astronomy carved in stone. The Stone Age observatory.
GPS: 35.8236, 14.4373
Three permanent residents, no cars, no roads — just 3.5 km² of wild nature between Malta and Gozo. Beyond Blue Lagoon, Comino holds secrets: Santa Marija Bay with calm water, sea caves you can swim into, and a crumbling watchtower from 1618. An island outside time.
GPS: 36.0119, 14.3369
Golden Bay's prettier sister — 200 steps down a red clay cliff to a beach most tourists never find. No buildings, no bars, just reddish sand, turquoise water, and cliffs forming a natural crescent. The staircase keeps the uncommitted away.
GPS: 35.9290, 14.3420
Bones of dwarf elephants and hippos. 500,000 years old. Għar Dalam in Birżebbuġa is Malta's oldest cave — 144 metres deep, with layer upon layer of bones from animals that roamed the island when it was still connected to mainland Europe.
GPS: 35.8364, 14.5280
Malta's largest underground burial complex. Over 1,000 graves carved into the limestone beneath Rabat from the 3rd century — Christians, Jews and pagans side by side in the dark. St. Paul's Catacombs is a labyrinthine network of chambers with agape tables where the living ate with the dead.
GPS: 35.8807, 14.3976
Beneath Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta lies the secret nerve centre from which the Allies ran the entire Mediterranean. The Lascaris War Rooms are an underground complex of tunnels where Eisenhower planned the invasion of Sicily — and where Malta survived 154 days of unbroken bombardment.
GPS: 35.8947, 14.5119
A sea cave that collapsed and left behind a round lagoon of turquoise water — connected to the open sea through a narrow rock passage. Coral Lagoon near Mellieħa is one of Malta's most spectacular natural sinkholes, best seen from the cliff edge 30 metres above.
GPS: 35.9979, 14.3677
The cannons still face the sea. Fort St. Elmo in Valletta holds the finest position on the island — at the very tip of the Sciberras Peninsula, where the Malta Channel and Grand Harbour meet. Built in 1552, it fell during the Great Siege of 1565 after 31 days of fighting against 40,000 Ottomans. Every knight in the garrison died. The fort they died defending was rebuilt — and still stands.
GPS: 35.9020, 14.5188
5,000-year-old stones, raised 1,000 years before the pyramids. The Tarxien Temples in southern Malta are among the world's oldest freestanding stone structures — UNESCO-listed and surprisingly complex. Spiral patterns carved into the megaliths. A 3-metre goddess statue with only the lower body preserved. Sacrificial altars with animal reliefs. All of it in a backyard in a residential area.
GPS: 35.8692, 14.5120
Blood-red walls above Mellieħa Bay. Saint Agatha's Tower — the Red Tower — is Malta's most iconic watchtower, built 1647–1649 as part of the island's coastal defences. 14 metres tall with 4-metre-thick bastion walls, painted in that unmistakable red. From the roof you see Gozo, Comino and the Blue Lagoon all at once.
GPS: 35.9747, 14.3430
The sea inside the cliff. Dwejra on Gozo's west coast holds an inland sea — a saltwater lake connected to the Mediterranean through an 80-metre rock tunnel. Fishermen row their boats through it. Beyond the tunnel, Fungus Rock rises 60 metres from the water — a cliff the Knights once guarded because it bore a plant they believed cured everything.
GPS: 36.0537, 14.1912
Malta's longest sandy beach. Mellieħa Bay stretches 800 metres along the northern coast — shallow water, golden sand, and views of Gozo and Comino. Families with children settle at the water's edge because you can walk 50 metres out and still touch the bottom. The beach lies beneath the Red Tower, and the sunset colours the entire bay.
GPS: 35.9708, 14.3536
The president's garden — and it is open to everyone. San Anton Gardens in Attard is Malta's most beautiful green space, laid out in the 1600s by Grand Master Antoine de Paule. Orange trees, swans, fountains and 300-year-old ficus trees. A breathing space on an island otherwise cast in limestone.
