Valletta is always a romantic place to explore, but it feels extra special on Valentine’s Day. Start with a walk through the city’s streets, stop for coffee at a cosy café, and visit some of the capital’s historical spots. The Upper Barrakka Gardens offer one of the best panoramic views in Malta, making it a perfect place for a sunset moment. If you’re into history, St. John’s Co-Cathedral is an impressive spot to check out while wandering the city.

Now, another very romantic activity you can do in Malta is exploring the historic streets of Valletta or Mdina in a traditional horse-drawn carriage, known locally as a ‘karozzin’. It’s a very special way to see the sights and enjoy a leisurely ride through these beautiful cities.

Visit the Blue Grotto

Take a boat tour to the Blue Grotto, a series of sea caverns on the southern coast of Malta. The clear blue waters and impressive rock formations make it a memorable experience. Early mornings are usually the best time to visit for the calmest seas and best lighting.

Attend a Live Music Event

Check out local listings for live music events happening around the island. Many bars and restaurants feature live performances, ranging from jazz to traditional Maltese music. Sharing a musical experience can add a special touch to your romantic getaway.
