The sunny destination is steeped in history and has great nightlife
As we head into spring, there's plenty of places to catch the sun - and we think this city break from Liverpool John Lennon Airport also has a lot to offer.
"Plus, Malta boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year, meaning you’re almost guaranteed a warm weekend break in Valletta. Explore the city’s sandstone-paved streets, chow down on pastizzi and soak up the sun on the steps of Cafe Society, a bar with alfresco seating and a unique view of the Grand Harbour."
A UNESCO World heritage site, Valletta was also named the European Capital of Culture ten years after Liverpool in 2018. There's plenty to do in the bustling, beautiful city, from visiting St John’s Co-Cathedral which boats nine chapels and marble headstones denoting famous knights, to exploring the ancient tunnels and passageways beneath the city.
To soak up views across the city, visitors can head to the city's waterfront for a stroll or take a trip on a boat tour. At the waterfront, you can also watch the cannon fire at the Saluting Battery. Malta International Airport is the only airport in Malta and serves the whole of the Maltese Islands. Valletta is located just 10 km from the airport, with a transfer taking around 20 minutes to the centre. There are also a number of bus routes you can take to get you closer to the city centre.
On the Liverpool John Lennon Airport website, it reads: "Malta has so much to offer its visitors, including the following hidden gems. Mdina is known for its peace and quiet. Take a stroll around the picturesque streets and admire the ancient buildings for the perfect relaxing walk.
