Find the best things to do in Malta, from historic attractions and boat trips to culture, outdoor activities, nightlife and local food experiences.
Valletta is not only a destination; it is one of Malta’s best launch points.

Malta has a lively nightlife scene, but the best evening depends on whether you want clubs, cocktails, waterfront drinks, live music or a quiet glass of wine after sightseeing. Paceville is still the island’s best-known entertainment district, yet treating it as the whole story would miss some of Malta’s most enjoyable nights. St Julian’s, Sliema, Valletta and parts of the harbour area each offer a different atmosphere, and the right choice can change completely with your age, travel style and where you are staying.
