Many visitors spend their holiday travelling between different parts of Malta, but there is a simpler way to experience the island. Staying in Valletta places you at the centre of everything.

Malta’s capital is compact enough to explore on foot, yet it offers excellent transport links by bus, ferry and traditional harbour boats. From here, it is easy to visit Mdina, the Three Cities, Marsaxlokk, Sliema and even Gozo without constantly changing hotels.

Beyond its convenient location, Valletta is packed with history. Grand palaces, elegant Baroque churches, lively squares and hidden streets all sit within the city’s UNESCO World Heritage walls. Every corner tells a story, whether you are discovering local cafés, browsing independent shops or enjoying views across the Grand Harbour.

Evenings are equally rewarding. Restaurants spill onto historic streets, wine bars stay busy until late and cultural events take place throughout the year, giving visitors a genuine taste of Maltese life.

Choosing holiday apartments in Valletta also offers greater flexibility than a traditional hotel stay. Having your own kitchen, living space and room to relax allows you to experience the city at your own pace, whether you are visiting for a weekend or a longer holiday to Malta.

VallettaStay offers a wide choice of self catering accommodation and boutique hotels throughout the city, making it easy to find a property that suits couples, families or groups looking to stay in Valletta.
