“Malta is like a jewel set in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.”
– Queen Elizabeth II
Fortress of antiquity, jewel of the Mediterranean—Malta stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. This sun-drenched archipelago holds the distinction of having the highest concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites per square mile in the world, where ancient temple builders, knights, and emperors have left their indelible mark on its golden limestone canvas.
Beyond the familiar tourist attractions in Malta lies a tapestry of hidden wonders— meticulously preserved historic temples, strategically positioned medieval citadels, and fishing villages that maintain traditions dating back to Phoenician maritime practices.
To truly understand Malta, you must experience it through the stories of its people: Maltese who proudly preserve traditions forged in the crucible of countless civilizations —Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, and British—each leaving their cultural imprint. With Take Me To Europe’s Malta tours, you’ll discover an island nation where history isn’t confined to museums but lives in every stone, feast, and folk melody.
On our escorted tours to Malta, you’ll step into a living archaeological museum housing some of the world’s oldest freestanding structures. The megalithic temples of Ħaġar Qim, Mnajdra, and Ġgantija predate Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, standing as mysterious monuments to an advanced prehistoric society. Walk the narrow streets of Valletta, a Baroque masterpiece built by the Knights of St. John, or lose yourself in the hushed alleys of Mdina, the ancient walled city. Taste cuisine that tells the story of Mediterranean crossroads through familiar and surprising flavors. Malta beckons you to uncover its secrets, and our Malta Travel Guides are your key to unlocking these experiences.
