Malta is so small that it is easy to make day excursions to anywhere on the island from Valletta. Top of the list is Mdina (im-dee-nah), the island's original capital and one of Europe's finest medieval walled cities. Its 'suburb', Rabat, is immediately outside the city walls and boasts several interesting historical sights of its own.

The island's prehistoric temples are some of the world's oldest structures. The Hypogeum is a must-see (see Key Attractions) and a short walk from here the Tarxien Temples (tar-sheen) are also of interest. The most dramatically located temple is Mnajdra (im-na-ee-dra) on the south coast which shares its site with Hagar Qim (ha-jah eem).

It is quite possible to visit the neighbouring island of Gozo in a day from Valletta and a visit is highly recommended, but it is preferable to stay overnight to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of Malta's prettier less commercialised little sister.
