Dalle gite in barca ai fuochi d'artificio, dai pastizzi ai mercati del pesce, ecco una lista di cose che dovete assolutamente fare durante la vostra vacanza alle Isole. Vi sfidiamo a tenerla, segnalarla, stamparla, tenerla a portata di mano, in modo da poterla cancellare una per una
la valletta di notte
La Valletta di notte
Va da sé che la capitale di La Valletta è splendida a qualsiasi ora del giorno, ma avete passeggiato per le strade di notte? Questa sera dirigetevi verso Strait Street e fermatevi ovunque lungo il percorso per un piatto e un bicchiere (o due) di vino, mentre guardate la città brulicare di vita, in una qualsiasi serata della settimana.
attraversare le 3 città
Vittoriosa
Riportatevi indietro nel tempo visitando le città fortificate di Vittoriosa, Senglea e Cospicua, note collettivamente come Cottonera. Vi consigliamo di fare un giro turistico in barca lungo tutto il porto, oppure di alzare i piedi e di assorbire tutto ciò che c'è da vedere con un giro in autobus d'epoca attraverso la città.
marsaxlokkk mercato del pesce domenica
Marsaxlokkk
The picturesque, intensely colourful fishing village of Marsaxlokk is a must-see, on anyone’s trip to Malta. Small fishing boats dot the bay, as do top-notch restaurants overflowing with fresh fish. Get your hands on the morning catch at the open-air market, best visited on a Sunday morning.
torta dalla città silenziosa
Mdina
La vecchia capitale di Malta: Mdina, conosciuta anche come la Città Silenziosa. Le strade acciottolate, le finestre chiuse e la mancanza di veicoli rumorosi sono sufficienti per far sì che chiunque voglia passare il pomeriggio a vagare per le strade. La ciliegina sulla torta (scusate il gioco di parole) sarebbe una fetta di deliziosa torta al cioccolato di Fontanella.
guardare uno spettacolo teatrale al teatro manoel
Teatro Manoel
Intitolato al Gran Maestro dell'Ordine dei Cavalieri Ospedalieri, il Teatro Manoel è il teatro nazionale di Malta, che ospita frequentemente concerti, opere, recital, musical, spettacoli di danza e rappresentazioni teatrali, sia in inglese che in maltese. Consigliamo di guardarne uno in maltese per quel grado di autenticità in più.
guarda Cittadella a Gozo
Cittadella
Head over to the sister island of Gozo, via ferry, spend the day in the sun, roam the streets, take a dip and then visit the ancient fortified city, Cittadella, also known as the ‘Castello.’ Rich in buildings of architectural, military and historical value, including the Cathedral of the Assumption, it would be a sin not to pay it a visit before flying back home.
visita i siti megalitici
HaĠar qim
Would this really be a to-do list if the UNESCO World Heritage Sites weren’t on it? Built between 3600BC and 2500BC, Mnajdra and Hagar Qim sit 500m apart in the small, picturesque town of Qrendi. The megalithic temples are the best preserved and most evocative of Malta’s prehistoric sites, with an unparalleled location atop sea cliffs, all of which you should also dedicate some time to in your trip.
boat ride in wied iż-Żurrieq
Blue grotto cave complex
Not to be confused with the Blue Lagoon, the Blue Grotto is a complex of seven caves found along the southern coast of the island, right across from the little islet of Filfla. The complex is comprised of a massive main arch, approximately 30m in height, as well as a system of 6 other caves, amongst which you will find the Honeymoon Cave, the Cat’s Cave and the beautiful Reflection Cave. A boat trip to the caves is the best way to experience the true beauty of the area.
vivere una festa tradizionale maltese
SPETTACOLO PIROTECNICO
Act fast, because this one has a time constraint! The old village of Tarxien, in the south of Malta, is known for its celebration of the feast dedicated to Our Lady of Annunciation. Visit between the 28 of May and 3 of June for hours of fascinating air and ground fireworks, band marches and street decorations. Not to worry, though, every Maltese village holds a ‘festa’, throughout the months of June to September, which feature marching bands, food, festivities and of course, fireworks!
il villaggio artigiano
Ta' Qali
In the artisanal section of Ta’ Qali is where century-old traditions take centre stage. located in the former RAF wartime air-field and is a very popular tourist attraction in Malta, here, different kinds of crafts and beautiful artefacts are sold created by local experts. Maltese artisans showcase and sell their masterpieces, including ceramics, paintings, lace and much more. You can even spend a couple of hours in glass-blowing workshops!
fare un tuffo nella laguna blu
Laguna Blu
The sun is shining, the skies are blue, though nothing will ever be as blue as the waters of the blue lagoon. A small bay with shallow, azure-coloured water that’s located on the West coast of Comino, between the main island and Cominotto. One of the most postcard-worthy sights on the islands, it is virtually uninhabited and can be accessed via a relatively cheap boat trip. Just a little, but crucial tip: get there early!
