10 Things to do Good for Kids in Valletta That You Shouldn't Miss
Founded in 1565 by the Order of St John as a refuge for soldiers returning from the Crusades, Valletta is now the capital of Malta and a piece of living history. With an unsurpassed collection of original Baroque architecture, fortified city walls overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and the spectacular Co-Cathedral of St John, which features intricately carved stone vaults and a famed painting by Caravaggio, it is no wonder that this smallest of European capital cities is a world heritage site.

3. Malta Postal Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 238 reviews
This state of the art building is spread over four floors and is not your typical Postal Museum. It offers a run through of Maltese history from the 15th century. The Museum also boasts of two temporary gallery spaces, a large audio-visual room and merchandising store. The temporary gallery spaces currently offer a collection of photographic prints by Richard Ellis, and what is arguably the finest collection of works by Emvin Cremona, regarded by many as one of the best Maltese artists of the 20th century.

It was an interesting day in the postal museum. It is a paradise for those who collects stamps. There is a huge number of stamps, of different themes and time periods. It is full of photos and screens with movies about historic events in the story of post in Malta. The lady on the reception offered an exciting quest for our kids. They were searching for the secret sing to solve a riddle. It was wonderful. And in the end we made a photo of our family like a stamp. A pleasant souvenir to remember the trip. Thanks a lot to the lady in the museum!

Valetta Valetta is a beautiful walled capital that is steeped in history with lots of small alleyways and quaint little bars n restaurants this is a must to visit when holidaying in malta easy to be reached by local malta transport buses from anywhere on the island, we decided to visit to see the market we took a taxi from the north of the island to the market cost us €40 for the trip there the market is just outside the city it was a bit disappointing it seemed like a boot sale market with only a few stalls might be as end of season in October Notte Bianca 2019 This is a night festival held only on one night in October the whole of Valetta is closed to all but pedestrians all government buildings in the capital are open late and are free restaurants spread tables all around pavements street entertainers are out and about entertaining the crowds and yes valetta sees over a third of the island population inc visitors on this night turn up musicians also entertain including jazz,marching band music and in the big square topmusic from hip hop n rap musicians from X Factor a great night out

We paid the 3 euros to enter the saluting battery level and felt it absolutely worth it. Not only was the view of the harbour fantastic, but we had front row "seats" when the noonday gun was fired. We were able to ask questions of one of the re-enactment team as it was happening and then had a short lecture and full Q&A session with the wonderful Benjamin, who taught me more about cannons and their place in naval history (and especially the history behind the 21 gun salute) than I'd gleaned from many other visits to historic ships over the years.

Recently We had a family wedding at lower barrakka with fantastic views of the Maltese Beautiful Harbour. Never had a wedding there before it was a great experience as it is feasts time there where fireworks too from the other side of the harbour :) . It's a nice place for Maltese and Tourists to visit during sunset as it's spectacular to watch sun going down :).
