Valletta Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
There are a number of exhibitions and ‘experiences’ reinterpreting the past, but the best way to get a handle on the history of the city is to take a boat trip around Grand Harbour and a guided tour of Fort St Elmo before visiting the Grand Master’s Palace.
WWII is covered in The National War Museum and the underground Lascaris War Rooms. The National Museum of Archaeology scrapes the surface of the distant past but to delve deeper you need to travel just out of the capital, most notably to the Hypogeum at Paola.
