When I think of Malta is usually of the pristine beaches, not the rustic, historic forts scattered across the island. These forts and immense and so beautiful in their own stoic way. I also didn't know that Malta was a filming location for the Game of Thrones -- now I want to go there even more! It looks like it worked out visiting the forts in the late evening, it definitely looks like you had the entire place to yourselves.

Malta is a place of history and culture. this place is amazing to visit. I love reading your article. thanks for sharing.

Very cool topic. I love exploring these old fortification sites in Europe. I recently explored a few sites in Italy and Luxembourg. I love learning about the history and why they were built. It's fun to imagine what life might have been like back when they were being built.

We loved Malta when we visited many years ago especially Mdina. Your article brought back some great memories. We loved wandering down the many streets and exploring the small alleyways. Our boys loved it then and they were only saying the other day that they would love to return. Maybe we can get a chance to visit more churches this time with them.

Malta has my heart. I wish I could go explore this place myself. The pictures of the pretty roads and the vintage buildings are just to lucrative that I would spend days clicking photos everywhere. And till now I had only associated Croatia with Game of Thrones, didn't know that it was shot in Malta too.

I always love reading your articles rich in history. I have heard of Valletta so many times and I had it right on the top of my bucketlist for Malta. But I had never heard of the others. I would love to visit Mdina and Rabat. Rabat especially for the catacombs.

Malta is one of the countries I really want to visit in my life. Valletta, the capital city, looks so amazing! Apart from being a UNESCO Heritage site, it looks like a big open museum for me! Being a big Game of Thrones fan, I really want to see Fort Ricasoli as it is the Red Keep!

I went to Rabat, but I had no idea there are catacombs. Such a shame. I went there only because of the train connection problem, I had to stay for one night, but thought there is nothing to see. :/

Malta looks absolutely gorgeous! I've definitely added it too my list to visit.

Usually, the first thing that comes into my mind when Malta is mentioned in the conversation are the beautiful beaches and it's great that you showcased some of the other fascinating sights of this beautiful country. I never visited but this post sure gave me a new perception of Malta. Thank you for sharing :)

Reminds me a bit of Croatia, although I don't believe Croatia is as fortified. I think some drone shots would really give a unique perspective to the city and it's numerous walls for it's small size.

I have had the opportunity to visit this magnificent island county and couldn’t agree more than it’s a place filled with historic and cultural delights. Valetta is absolutely mesmerising with its sandy architecture and the bright coloured balconies and doors that stand out. We travelled in April and was less crowded as I think can get quite crowded during the peak travel season. We did visit Rabat but again only for the catacombs and was a great trip. There is so much to see and do in Malta overall from Historic buildings of Valetta to the blue grotto and St Julian nightlife. This post brought back loads of memories. Thanks.

Not just because it's the shooting location of GoT, but Malta's architectures caught my attention since the first time I learned about it. It looks unique and seems like the whole country looks like a sand castle. I wonder how big is the Mdina since no vehicles are allowed there. Must be fascinating to just wander around Mdina.

I visited Malta couple of years back and its such a gem - I never thought I would like it so much. I have never heard of three cities altough I traveled there for 9 days. Did you manage to see Azzure window? Such a shame its gone.

All these streets in Malta are just beautiful! I defs wouldn't mind getting lost there. The museums in Valletta sound super interesting and how cool that there are so many yachts in Birgu. Do you reckon the locals rent them to tourists for boating adventures? I'd totally be down to try that!

Hahahha :) Ok. Malta is also something else. In Russia, we know it as a place where people go to learn English, and end up party instead of learning English. But actually there is architecture... forts and stuff....

Malta is a place of history, In India we have Rajasthan like this, thought there are some huge differences in architecture and culture. Here you pictured those amazing churches and forts and yes those silence roads very nicely . I hope to visit this place someday and match the things with your piece of work.

I love such cities and therefore Malta really looks beautiful to me. Valleta built in renaissance style is really impressive. Good to know that Mdina & Rabat is silent city and it is really splendid.
