A beach holiday isn't necessarily possible, but the island is wonderful to explore when the weather is pleasant.
And there's a lot to see: the capital Valletta is lined with magnificent palaces, fortresses and churches that bear witness to the work of the Knights of Malta.
The most important buildings include the Grand Master's Palace and St. John's Cathedral.
Valletta’s impressive natural harbor is also worth seeing.
Malta also includes 21 other islands, including Gozo, which is known for its Neolithic ruins.
