As a Mediterranean paradise, Malta ticks all the boxes, with its sandy white beaches, honey-coloured stone buildings, sparkling blue sea and rich history.
However, on a city break to Malta you will discover how much more there is to the island nation, its unique language and culture shaped by the many settlers and conquerors that have passed through, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottoman Turks and, most recently, the British, from whom the nation won independence in 1964.
Evidence of the fascinating past of the Maltese islands can be seen everywhere you go, from its seven breathtaking megalithic temples, which are listed as World Heritage Sites, to the baroque capital of Valletta, founded by the Knights of St John, also a World Heritage Site and Malta's walled medieval capital, Mdina.
Although Malta has been described as a giant open-air museum, as you will see on your city break, it is no dead museum piece but a lively, thriving nation. Malta has strong folk traditions and noisy village festas, or festivals, are a common sight between May and September, while the islands are famed for their excellent crafts, including blown glass and handmade lace.
The islands are also an important centre for watersports, especially diving, sailing and snorkelling, while a visit to the National Museum of Archaeology for a glimpse at some prehistoric artefacts, or to historic St Johns Co-Cathedral shouldn't be missed.
