Pair your experience with a good glass of Maltese wine and a good dinner in a restaurant with a terrace for a truly unique and beautiful experience.
There are several things you should not miss when you are in the city:

The best places to dive in Malta are as follows:
The Blue Grotto (Maltese: Taħt il-Ħnejja) refers to a number of sea caverns on the south east coast of Malta, a short distance from the fishing harbour limits of Wied iż-Żurrieq, Malta. Wied iz-Zurrieq, the Blue Grotto and neighboring caves are all located within the Qrendi village confines, per Local Council Act 1993 and a 1910 legal dispute between the villages of Qrendi and Zurrieq over their jurisdiction, which ruled in favour of Qrendi.
Fort Saint Elmo (Maltese: Forti Sant'Iermu) is a star fort in Valletta, Malta. It stands on the seaward shore of the Sciberras Peninsula that divides Marsamxett Harbour from Grand Harbour, and commands the entrances to both harbours along with Fort Tigné and Fort Ricasoli. It is best known for its role in the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.
Sinking ships for wreck diving sites is the practice of scuttling old ships to produce artificial reefs suitable for wreck diving, to benefit from commercial revenues from recreational diving of the shipwreck, or to produce a diver training site.
Rozi was scuttled off Cirkewwa on 10th September 1992 as an attraction for tourist submarine trips around the area, which no longer operate. Rozi is now one of the most dived wrecks in Malta.
The Blue Hole is situated next to the famous collapsed Azure Window in Dwejra, on the West coast of Gozo. It is known for being one of the best ten dives in Europe. The Blue Hole looks like a cave but the surroundings underneath the water and the light falling through makes it such a majestic sight.
Malta is a small island country located in the Mediterranean Sea, known for its picturesque beaches, historic landmarks, and vibrant culture. One of the most popular attractions for tourists visiting Malta is taking a boat trip to the nearby island of Comino and visiting the Santa Maria Caves.
