5 days in Malta Itinerary

More than just another port city, Saint Julian's serves as one of Malta's most popular nightlife destinations, drawing a young crowd of weekend revelers from around Europe.

Step off the beaten path and head to Spinola Bay and Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Paul. You'll enjoy a bit of beach vacationing at Ramla Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay. Change things up with these side-trips from Saint Julian's: Mellieha Air Raid Shelter (in Mellieha) and St. Peter’s Pool (in Marsaxlokk). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of St. John's Co-Cathedral, take in nature's colorful creations at Upper Barrakka Gardens, get to know the fascinating history of Mdina Old City, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Mosta Rotunda.
