How to use this category
Culture in Valletta is a mix of grand interiors and small street-level detail: auberge buildings, theatres, museums, and the way the city’s story stays visible in its limestone fabric.
If you want the city to stay enjoyable, alternate: one deeper cultural visit, then a walk, then a viewpoint. The breaks are part of the experience.
