Take A Voyage Of Discovery In The Malta Maritime Museum
Malta’s rich and storied maritime history goes back centuries. The Maritime Museum was even set up in an old naval supply point from the 1800s. Located in Birgu, a beautiful city in its own right, this museum chronicles over 7000 years of history.
The main goal is to keep Malta’s seafaring history alive and preserved. The museum houses over 20,000 different artifacts and historically important items dating as far back as the Prehistoric era.

Take In A Performance At The Orpheum Theatre (If You’re Lucky)
The world-renowned Orpheum Theatre has been host to some of the world’s most influential talent over the years.
Originally built in 1932, the theater doesn’t often put on performances nowadays. That being said, if you’re lucky they may have one on during your visit. If that’s the case, then we recommend you make seeing a show there number one on your list of things to do in Malta.
Many top-tier talents have performed in the Orpheum over the years. Some examples include Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, and even Black Sabbath!
Experience Fine Dining At Café Phoenicia
If you end up in Floriana, make sure you choose to eat at Café Phoenicia. For us, one of the most important parts of traveling is getting to try new meals, and Café Phoenicia offers some of the finest Mediterranean cuisines in all of Malta. The café is surrounded by the architecture of the luxurious and exquisite Hotel Phoenicia.
Award-winning chefs use fresh ingredients to prepare some of Malta’s most exciting dishes and share their culture with visitors. We certainly found this an excellent way to experience the best food in Malta.
Relax In The Waters Of Anchor Bay
The picturesque quality of Anchor Bay cannot be understated. We were blown away by the crystal-clear water and the beautiful scenery of the intricate cave system. The bay feels secluded thanks to the rock on one side, and a pier on the other. This helps bring a calmer atmosphere and makes Anchor Bay perfect for a family on vacation.
Feel The Rush At The Casino Malta

Explore The Depths While Snorkeling
Regardless of your skill or experience with snorkeling, Malta is the perfect place to practice. As we mentioned, Malta’s crystal-clear water allows for excellent underwater visibility. Not to mention how diving underwater is the perfect ending to a warm Maltese Summer day.
If you’re feeling adventurous, we recommend a boat tour to get you further out to make the most of your exploration.
Get Out Into Nature On Horseback
While Malta offers many different ways to get around, we never pass up the chance to go horseback riding. With many stables throughout Malta, going for horse rides down pre-made trails is always an option.
Plus, the spectacular views you’ll get by being out in nature will make the moment magical.
