The island of Malta is best experienced by car. Just be aware that, as a former British colony, cars drive on the left side of the road.
EuroPride Valletta
Celebrating diversity and equality for all.
7-17 September, 2023
This year’s EuroPride is taking place on the otherwordly and extremely welcoming island of Malta!
Malta’s unique geographic location places it smack dab where Europe and North Africa meet, with the Middle East not far away. This is part of the reason why Malta prioritises equality and LGBTQ+ human rights. At EuroPride Valletta, you’ll experience people from around the world coming together to celebrate love, without fear.
Here’s what you won’t want to miss.
Along with the traditional marches and epic parties, EuroPride Valletta will feature a well-rounded selection of exhibitions and performances. Look forward to photography and art expos, circus and burlesque evenings, jazz and punk music concerts and so much more. Truly a EuroPride to remember!
Visit Mdina
Hire a car and drive to the middle of the island to immerse yourself in the country’s historical old capital. The ancient fortifications are filled with houses dating back many centuries.
Tour Mosta Dome
Mosta Dome is an iconic church dedicated to St. Mary. Its dome is similar to that of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, only bigger. The rest is modelled on Rome’s Pantheon.
Go scuba diving
The island of Malta and its neighbour islands feature diving for all skill levels. Beginners can get their feet wet at Anchor Bay with its shallow depths, while more experienced divers can try cave, reef or wreck diving.
Have fun in Popeye Village
Built as a film set for the 1980 film, this theme park features rustic buildings, a cinema, live-action shows and “meet and greets” with Popeye characters. Entry also includes a scenic boat trip around the bay.
Discover St Julian’s
Overlooking Spinola Bay, St Julian’s has all the charm of an old Mediterranean fishing village and also offers excitement if you want it. It has plenty of restaurants, bars and good hotels and isn’t far from Valletta.
