What travelers are saying
- Rob TBath, UK70 contributionsVery decorative church and almost overwhelming to the visual senses. The paintings are amazing and interesting history relating to Caravaggio.Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sightseer10641657214138 contributionsThis is a fascinating glimpse into life in Malta during WW2..The exhibits are well designed and explained and Michael’s guided tour was just the right length and had the right information. At 20 euros a person it’s not cheap but great value for money. Highly recommendedWritten October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ReplicatorBristol, UK422 contributionsA small garden. I thought it was going to be bigger but it’s really quite small. Had a nice small fountain, somewhere to get a drink and snack, toilets where a lady sits outside pretending it costs to go to the toilet but I don’t think it does. I think she is trying it on!
The views make it though. Lovely ones of the grand harbour which were spectacular and so the gardens are worth visiting just for that.Written September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Amazing demo and explanations of how these old canons were later used to help the city siders and sailers to get the time right at certain times of the day. They actually fire one of the canons.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,371 contributionsThis house was built in 1580 and belonged to the Maltese noble family of de Piro. Amazingly, the descendants of its original de Piro still live in the house. From the outside the building looks pretty innocuous, blending in with pretty much all the other buildings on the street. We took the guided tour option, which starts in the garden. There's entrances to underground bomb shelters. They're also a fantastic space to hide from the hot and humid conditions. Some have described the house as a palace, although I thought it’s more like a rich person's home. Visitors can take a guided tour, audio tour or a private tour. We did the guided tour, which was conducted by David. The building is largely Palladian architecture, although some of the decorations have been updated in Art Deco. Although every room had its charms, the best of the room was the opulent salon with access to the family's private chapel. Well worth a visit in Valletta.Written September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Smile_loveOxford, England, United Kingdom387 contributionsGreat place, very informative and immersive. Very interesting to learn about the history of Malta in the war and the great siege.
Immersive museums and interactive activities.
Great views of Valletta also. Would recommend, also very reasonably priced.Written October 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A little strip of bars/restaurants where you can sit and have food or just a drink. The best way to get around the marina is by a Gondola. Our guide gave us lots of information about the area. Only 10 euro each for a 30 min cruise.Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RuthDatalogicsWest Dundee, IL51 contributionsI really enjoyed this introductory film to the long amazing history of Malta. Yes the technology was older but it is impeccable maintained and really what has changed in 3 years compared with 7000 that are included here. Everyone can listen in their own language. Our guide for the hospital tour was a treasure. Some colleagues got an app driven tour and didn’t get half as much info as we did. A fascinating place on a fascinating town in a fascinating country!Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,371 contributionsThis is a small, but well tended and designed park at the harbourfront. Part gardens and part monument. There’s a monument to Sir Alexander Bell, Neoclassical structures and several sculptures. Despite the naming to the eponymous upper garden, the two gardens aren’t even connected. It’s located on the eastern end of the peninsula and not a lot on this end. It’s worth wandering around if you have time in Valletta.Written September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nickynoodle1278Mold, UK827 contributionsWe only had a short time in Valletta before our ship set sail. We were told it was a 25-minute walk uphill into town, which we didn’t fancy as it was 30+ degrees, so decided to take the lift.
There was a queue on arrival but it went down quick as there are two lifts that each hold about 15 people.
When you exit the lift you have a good view of the harbour and the cannon battery.
The €1 fee includes a return journey but we took a longer route back but the fee was worth it - especially as someone paid for me :)Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The route was well set and overall there were just few tourists. Very calm place in busy Valletta. I think it is a hidden gem.Written August 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Black Cat159 contributionsMy family and I went here today but originally we were meant to go on Tuesday but the palace was closed with no prior warning on the website and on the doors which was a bit irritating!
The palace itself is nice! There is a lot to see and the artwork is really pretty!
I would come here again!Written August 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
