Plan the perfect day in the Maltese capital, from breakfast pastries to a waterfront dinner.
Valletta is one of Europe's smallest capital cities, making it the perfect city to explore on foot — or by boat.Built by the Knights of St John in the 16th century, Valletta retains much of its time-worn charm, with narrow streets leading between honey-coloured buildings, and glimpses of the Mediterranean never far from view. It’s a small place – just 0.3 square miles – so all of its attractions are within easy walking distance. Here’s how to make the most of it.

While the casual alleyway bars near the Grand Harbour are packed at night, dinner at The Harbour Club is always an elegant affair.Set on a quiet side street in a building that was once used as a slaughterhouse, the Valletta Design Cluster doesn’t look like much from the outside — but step into the lobby and take the lift to the top floor, and you’ll be welcomed by a verdant surprise.
