Spent an unforgettable day at the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island! The water is crystal clear and stunningly blue—perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with rugged cliffs surrounding the lagoon. It's a bit crowded, but the beauty of the place makes it worth it. Relaxing on the rocks and soaking in the sun was pure bliss. Definitely one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever visited!
🌴⛵ Experience the magic of Malta, Comino & the Blue Lagoon like never before! Whether you're seeking serenity or adventure, we've got you covered ;)Let's make your island dreams a reality!

Malta's Jopohe Street is located in the old town. It is the most intuitive place to feel the living conditions of the local people. Although it is very shabby, it is very nostalgic, just like going back to the streets of my hometown when I was a child.
The old streets of Valletta are like the inception of dreams, so beautiful that they are a little unreal. My intuition tells me that this place is the destination I must visit in my life. Its uniqueness and antiquity make people completely irresistible.
There are many similar streets in the old town of Valletta, of course, the most famous one is Old Mint Street.
In fact, Old Mint Street was originally the coin street during the reign of the Knights. Because its English pronunciation is similar to mint, it was later simply called Old Mint Street.
Of course, I personally prefer the 1st Old Baking Street next to it. Well, this name is made up by my own imagination based on English. The one with cars parked on both sides of the street in the picture is Old Baking Street. I feel that it is more beautiful to take pictures than Mint Street because the symmetry between the two sides makes the sides more impactful.
Shooting route:
1. The most suitable streets for shooting in the old streets of Valletta are Old Mint Street and 1st Baking Street.
The one with parking on both sides of the road is the Old Bakery Street. The symmetry of the two sides is very suitable for taking pictures. The one with parking on one side of the road is the most famous Mint Street. The road is very narrow, and the photos look more psychedelic. 2. It is recommended to take pictures around 1-2 pm. Because the road is narrow and the houses on both sides are high, the sun basically cannot shine on the street after 3 pm. 3. If you want to take pictures like Inception, remember to bring a 70-200 lens. Whether you take pictures of the folded streets from the bottom of the slope or the streets extending to the sea from the top of the slope, you will get great results.

one of the gems of Malta, must seen. You will need to get a boat ride that brings you so close and even inside the caves. Highly recommended 👌
The mysterious blue cave is worth exploring, but you have to rely on luck. When we arrived that day, the blue cave was not open because of the strong wind, so we couldn't row a boat to experience it in depth. It was really a pity. However, watching from afar on the shore is spectacular enough. This charming blue of the Mediterranean Sea is deeply enchanting and will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.

This garden in Malta covers a large area, and it is divided into the upper and lower gardens. It has a very long history. If you come to visit, you must understand its history. It covers a large area and it takes an afternoon to visit it completely.
A must-see attraction in Valletta, but it is not very interesting. It is a must-see attraction. There are many people but the flow is fast. The fort is a must-take background wall.
The sky and water of Malta are the most beautiful scenery on the Mediterranean coast. It is a place that cannot be missed in life.

Malta, St. Angelo Castle is also one of the world heritage buildings, with a very long history. If you go there for fun, you must visit it. Although it doesn't look like much, you must ask the local tour guide to explain it to you.
Malta is renowned for its exquisite structures. From the oldest temple in the world to the relatively new Parliament Building in the capital, Valletta, the island is full of fascinating buildings. If you enjoy architecture, Malta also offers a large number of palaces, baroque houses and churches. Depending on where you are on the island, you may stumble upon a magnificent castle that is well worth taking the time to see. Here are some of the most beautiful castles in Malta on a trip to Malta.
Fort St. Angelo
Formerly a seaside fortress, Fort St. Angelo dates back to the Middle Ages. Originally a castle, it was later rebuilt as a fortress by the Knights of St. John and served as a fortress for defence against the Turks during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. With Vittoriosa waterfront as its priority, the fortress has more or less remained as it was. The exterior has remained the same since it was rebuilt in the 1690s to the designs of the famous military architect Carlos de Grunberg. The fort served as a British military station between 1800 and 1979 and was classified as a stone ship and was known as HMS Egmont and HMS St Angelo. Today, the fort is open to all visitors, who can also enjoy a meal in the officers' lounge and buy some souvenirs.

What do you say about the attractions? You don't need to spend too much time. The area is very limited. In fact, renting a car is the best choice. Although the Blue Grotto has collapsed, the water there is very beautiful. It is milky blue. It is also nice to find a place to lie down and listen to the sea. It is still worth going. The piers from Gozo to Valletta and Cirkewwa are not the same. Go to Valletta: GozO Fast Ferry Departure time: 6/7/8/10/ every 15 minutes from 13:15 to 17:15/20:15 Journey: 45 minutes Price: Adults 75, students 4.5
I came to Malta for vacation in mid-February. As soon as I got off the plane, I felt the strength of the tourism industry here. It is much better than the Buddhist Italy. The English penetration rate is very high. Day 1 Mdina Ancient City and Dingli Cliffs. The ancient city is very quiet. It is located on a high ground and the view is very good. There is a bar next to it where you can sit and have afternoon tea. I love lemon cheese cake so much. I rushed to Dingli Cliffs after five o'clock. At this time of year, the sun is completely set at about six o'clock in the evening. It takes about 12 minutes to get to the top of the cliff by taxi (Bolt) at Mdina Gate. It costs about 8 euros. Along the cliff is the coastline. The sunset is in the northwest direction. It is very beautiful. There are also many benches here for everyone to watch the sunset over the sea. There are carriages passing by from time to time on the road. The silhouettes in the sunset glow are very artistic.
