Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Malta

"Walk along the city walls to the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens and enjoy the stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Three Cities and take the time to visit St. John’s Co-Cathedral and marvel at its impressive facades and collection of paintings by Caravaggio. Pop in for lunch at Submarine, where you can get a fresh, made-to-order sandwich for a good price before catching the ferry to the Three Cities."

"Malta is home to a huge number of churches, but perhaps the most important is St. John’s Co-Cathedral. Situated near the center of the city, while the exterior of this cathedral may look fairly plain, it holds a wealth of treasures inside. Built by the Knights of St. John back in the 16th century, the lavish interior reflects the power of the order and the emphasis they placed on their religious beliefs."

"Functional in design but lavishly decorated, the Order of St. John's own church (1578) is Malta's most important treasure. The Knights'…"

"These colonnaded gardens perched high above Grand Harbour were created in the late 16th century as a relaxing haven for the Knights from the nearby Auberge d'Italie. They provide a shady retreat from the bustle of the city, and the balcony has one of the best views in Malta.The terrace below is occupied by the Saluting Battery, where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels."

"Be sure not to miss the stunning Upper Barrakka Gardens, which give you panoramic views of the Harbor. Originally these gardens were used by the Knight of St. John, who are responsible for building Valletta. Note: The closer you are to the tourist attractions, the more that you’ll find prices for basics will rise."

"Stay at the home of one of Malta’s most important noble families in a 16th-century Valletta palazzo. Casa Rocca Piccola, a deeply historic home-from-home in the heart of Malta’s Unesco World Heritage capital, has five spacious rooms and suites with all the mod cons, alongside oodles of character and tradition."

Café Society, located on the picturesque steps that lead down to the stunning Marsamxett Harbour, offers a fantastic selection of innovative cocktails, craft beer and refreshing tipples, and hosts musicians, DJs and a live performers, as well as film screenings on summer nights."

"Tucked away in a picturesque Valletta alley, Cafe Society is truly a great hidden gem of a cocktail bar. The classy, cosy interior is adorned with vintage movie photos and their outdoor seating area provides great views of the sunset from the harbour. They have a great cocktail menu, a good wine list, and a fabulous selection of local craft beers."

"Fine-dining in a luxury atmosphere is great, but it's not for everyone all the time. If you're looking for a great gastronomic experience, but in a much more casual atmosphere, Cheeky Monkey is definetely a spot you you need to go to. With burgers to die for and (literally) sacks of peanuts to munch on, whilst catching the latest football, match - the place is great for a fun, casual night out."

"Ocean views southeast to the Ghallis Tower are best enjoyed from one of Malta's biggest decks, and indecisive drinkers may take a while deciding from a mega..."

"At the lower end of Republic Street lies Ġugar, a small laid-back hangout and restaurant frequented by a younger cohort of the island’s locals. From time to time it hosts chess matches and the occasional intimate music gig. True to its mission of promoting alternative living, it is furnished with a colorful mix of upcycled materials, serves wholesome food and refreshing smoothies, and offers a good selection of left-of-center book titles to read."

"This café is well known by the locals and also provides vegan options. It is quite cozy though it can be busy at times. Great place to hangout with friends during summer nights."

"Located in the periphery of St. Julian’s, lies a gastronomic experience that has in recent years established itself as the leading dining location for modern Mediterranean cuisine and molecular cocktails in Malta."
