Valletta is the capital of the island nation of Malta. A harbour city, Valletta preserves much of its 16th century architectural heritage built under the Hospitallers. It was one of the earliest sites inscribed by UNESCO on the World Heritage list.
To the north of Valletta lies Marsamxetto harbor whilst to the south is the Grand Harbour, arguably one of the nicest natural harbours in the world.
All day and night in St George's Square, there is a lovely water fountain, with coloured spouts of water which pop up and down - a fantastic play opportunity for children.
With its large array of shops, catering establishments, entertainment venues and culture, Malta's capital has what it takes to capture people's imagination.
