Here, you can explore the Avon River, cycle through the Port Hills, or take a scenic train ride through the Southern Alps.

Reaching these iconic cities is effortless with Emirates, offering daily non-stop flights from Dubai to Auckland and daily flights to Christchurch via Sydney.

A city break in Malta can look very different depending on how you like to travel. You could check into a five-star hotel and build your days around art, architecture, and Michelin-starred dining. You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizzi, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use the city as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.
