A place with many interesting destinations
Malta has many attractions that are worth seeing if you want to spend part, if not all, of your time exploring them. In addition, unlike most holiday locations, Malta offers a wide variety of fascinating museums and sights that reflect the country's turbulent and rich past in a very small space. Instead of wasting the first half of the day traveling to just one place, you can plan day tours that combine visits to two or more places in one day, like Mdina and the Tarxien Temples.
Malta, Gozo, and Comino are the three islands that make up this country, which is situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily and off the coast of North Africa. Malta is the largest of the islands, but Gozo, which is recognized as a calm refuge and the cultural and commercial center, is more rural and famous for its fishing industry, tourism, crafts, and agriculture. The smallest and least populated island is Comino.
You have access to a wide range of tours across the Maltese islands thanks to numerous tour operators, although they are clearly not free. If you want to tour the islands independently, a rental car or public transportation are both quite easy to navigate thanks to the small distances, convenient bus lines, and clear road signs. Even simpler, you may take a hop-on, hop-off bus trip that will quickly take you through a number of locations.
