At the root of culture and history.
Valletta, Malta’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is nothing short of an open-air museum.
It is a living experience of Baroque architecture, a monument donated by the Knights of St John nearly five centuries ago. Among the leading attractions are the majestic St John’s Co- Cathedral, the historic Manoel Theatre, the opulent Grand Masters’ Palace, the Upper Barrakka Gardens with their superb views over the Grand Harbour, the imposing bastions and countless priceless paintings and artistic works housed in the various museums and galleries – all situated just a few minutes’ walk away from The Embassy Valletta Hotel.
The city’s unique setting nowadays plays host to vibrant business activity from morning to evening. Dotted with shops, quaint cafés and several pedestrianised areas, the city is today one of Malta’s main tourist haunts, attracting large numbers daily. The city slows down for the night transforming into a magical location with various entertainment options ranging from cultural events to cinema, restaurants and wine bars. Away from the noise of traffic and possessing a special magic, Valletta cannot but be enjoyed.
