For solo travellers…
Adventure tours are popular on Malta and Gozo, including off-road jeep safaris, kayaking, and horse riding, as are adventurous activities such as rock climbing, windsurfing, and scuba diving – these islands are renowned for their marine life and shipwrecks.
The Maltese capital Valletta is packed with well-preserved Baroque architecture and historic sites, including the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the Grandmaster’s Palace, while guided tours of ancient sites, including Hagar Qim, Mnajdra, and Tarxien temples, and Hal Saflieni Hypogeum are ideal for history buffs.
On Gozo, don’t miss the capital Victoria (Rabat) with its citadel with panoramic views and its Feast of Santa Marija inviting you to immerse yourself in local culture. There’s also fantastic hiking and climbing, especially at Ramla Bay and Ta’Cenc Cliffs, while Marsalforn has plenty of waterfront restaurants to discover.
