Valletta: plan your visit

Valletta offers historic streets and the heritage of Malta. Allow time for the old town, but check whether your chosen address is in the same district. For an evening out, the directory includes Maori Bar / Kween Queer Bar. Compare the actual place type, admission rules and programme when choosing where to spend the evening.

Transport & before you visit

Build the trip around the chosen address and the time you intend to arrive. Check local public transport and arrange the return journey before setting out, especially if the visit continues into the evening.

Before visiting, use the place’s official notice for your date to confirm opening or programme times, admission rules and any booking or membership requirement. For an event, check the year and exact venue; an old poster does not confirm a current edition.
