1. Swim in the Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is an awe-inspiring natural swimming pool on the island of Comino and is perfect for an array of activities such as snorkelling and swimming.
2. Megalithic Temples of Malta
Many of these prehistoric temples are UNESCO heritage sites and were built between 3600 and 700 BC, making them the oldest free-standing structures in the world.
3. Walk around the Valletta Fortifications
Much like the walls at Chester and York, the Valletta fortifications are impressive walls surrounding the city that show off Malta's past military might and make for beautiful views of the harbour.
4. Explore Upper Barrakka Gardens
These gardens in Valletta offer beautifully landscaped gardens to spend an afternoon strolling through.
5. Discover Hal Saflieni Hypogeum
This underground burial complex once held 7000 bodies and now offers tours for small groups to see the incredibly well-preserved grounds.

Your EHIC card will allow you to access all state medical care and treatment you may need, as well as treatment for pre-existing conditions.

Malta is an extremely safe country with little violent or petty crimes. Although, you should still take care when carrying valuables in areas with lots of nightlife and on beaches.
