What's this trip about?

    The walled capital city of Valletta, which dates back to the 1500s, is overflowing with museums, palaces, grand churches, and Baroque architecture. Bursting with fascinating history and stunning natural scenery, Valletta is beautiful inside and out.  Upon arrival to the amazing archipelago of Malta, you'll be greeted by a driver who will transport you to your home away from home. As soon as you enter the city of Valletta, you'll feel as if you traveled back in time! Feel your eyes widen as you stand in-front of 16th-century walls and impressive historic forts. During your trip, you'll have the opportunity to visit Valletta's iconic sites, like Saint John's Co-Cathedral, home to the Caravaggio masterpiece, "The Beheading of Saint John."  While Valletta may be small in size, it is packed with art, beauty, and culture. Spend some time by the Grand Harbor and take in wonderful Mediterranean views as you sip local wine. Treat yourself to once-in-a-lifetime meals at renowned restaurants and taste the freshness of Maltese cuisine.  Helpful links for travel to Malta: Visa & Passport Info Vaccines & Medications Info
