Places of interest to see while visiting Malta? [closed]

I shall be visiting the island of Malta this summer for two weeks. Whenever I visit a country, I don't just want to lie on the beach or sit by the pool every day. I wish to get out and about to see the country and its people.

I plan on visiting the capital Valletta. I have been told the Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino is worth a visit. As I shall be staying in the north of the island, close to the ferry terminal, I also plan to visit the island of Gozo. If anyone has experience of Malta and its islands (which I am aware is very popular with British and Italian tourists, amongst other Europeans), further guidance with regards to churches, museums, palaces, town and villages with historical context (if any) that may be visited either in the capital or the rest of the island(s) would be much appreciated.

(I know that Malta, in particular its island of Gozo is famous for deep-sea diving, I won't be partaking in that).

Best Answer

I visited Malta nearly thirty years ago so this might be out of date. Malta isn't a large island, and you aren't going to find exciting sightseeing to keep you busy for two weeks. If you have a car, everywhere is a day trip from everywhere else. The Wikitravel page will give more details. Most of the places to see are in Valletta, with Mdina being interesting too. You might also try Saint Paul's Bay, the traditional site where Saint Paul was shipwrecked on Malta. However there wasn't much to see when I was there.
