Valletta, Malta

The visitor who arrives in Malta is taken by the multifaceted landscape of the small archipelago. Being halfway between Sicily and Tunisia it practically acts as a bridge between Europe and Africa. Despite its small size, Malta is a charm that appeals to the most varied audiences. While Valletta is the trade and tourism centre of the country, the hustle and the lively nightlife is in places like Saint Julian's and Sliema. Valletta is one of the world's historic cities with more than 300 monuments in a very small area, with forts and defensive walls around them.
