This nation of islands is one gorgeous place you should visit, especially for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Stunning fishing villages and natural vistas. Obviously, spending a day or two in Malta just isn\u2019t enough and if you want to pack in lots of Maltese experiences, I\u2019d definitely recommend 5-7 days. On my last trip to Malta, I spent 5 nights on Malta itself and a full day exploring the beauty of Gozo, the nearby island that is easily reached by boat. Anyway, I\u2019m rambling as usual! Take a look at some of the very best places you should definitely see whilst visiting Malta. 1.)\u00a0St Joseph\u2019s Church, Msida, Malta Not too far from the centre of Valletta,\u00a0St Joseph\u2019s Church is a gorgeous Roman Catholic church to visit in the small harbour town of Msida. If you\u2019re visiting in July, make sure to coincide it with the town\u2019s feast of St. Joseph. 2.) Hike across the islands, Malta or Gozo Now, this sounds more strenuous than it actually is. Near Popeye Village is&nbsp;G\u0127adira Natural Reserve (this is where the island of Malta actually narrows to about 500 metres in width and) where you can walk from one side of the island to the other, in literally 30 minutes. On a more serious note, if you want to go hiking, the walk\u00a0is beautiful and takes in lots of historical sites. 3.)\u00a0The Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Valletta Probably the most iconic Basilica\u2019s in the Country,\u00a0The Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one beautiful place to visit. It\u2019s perfect to explore on your day in the capital. Keep your eyes peeled for the painting of\u00a0Our Lady of Mount Carmel that\u2019s inside, too. 4.) Visit the Upper &amp;\u00a0Lower Barrakka Gardens, Malta The Upper&nbsp;Barrakka Gardens is one of the best places to get a view across the grand natural harbour around this area. As the highest point of the historic walls, you\u2019ll get to peek out across the harbour from a completely different perspective. The Lower Barrakka Gardens house a picturesque temple that looks almost Roman in its design. 5.) Go inside the Rotunda of Mosta, Malta\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t made it to Rome, you should definitely visit the\u00a0Rotunda of Mosta as it was designed and modelled after the Pantheon itself. What most people don\u2019t know is that the Rotunda is actually the third largest unsupported dome in the whole world and well worth seeing in person. 6.) Find \u0126a\u0121ar Qim, Malta\u00a0 The megalithic temple of \u0126a\u0121ar Qim&nbsp;is one of the oldest and most precious historical sites in the country, dating as far back as 3,600BC. That\u2019s well over 5,000 years old! Make sure to visit the Northern Temple, the Women\u2019s Temple and the Main Temple itself. Although the site isn\u2019t\u00a0Machu Picchu with its awe-inspiring vistas, it really does have a history that dates back much further than many other sites and is a great UNESCO site to experience. 7.) Gardjola Gardens, Malta Gardjola Gardens is one place to visit that offers an uninterrupted view across the Grand Harbour. Perched on the opposite side to the Upper\u00a0Barrakka Gardens, make sure to keep your keep a lookout for the sculpted ears and eyes that are carved on the tower, watching over the country. 8.) Explore Rabat and Mdina, Malta With well over 4,00 years of history here, head to the sleepy streets of Mdina and Rabat for a wander around one of the oldest settlements on the island. It\u2019s a great place to explore the quieter side of life on the island, all whilst still taking in the amazing history here. 9.) Go inside Fort Manoel, Malta Built in the 1800\u2019s, Fort Manoel is one of Malta\u2019s most iconic fortified historic places. Perched overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this historic place is great to visit first thing in the morning when the sun is not too strong. Oh, don\u2019t forget to visit the&nbsp;piazza and chapel inside the fort, too. 10.) Dive to see the fallen Azure Window, Gozo Sadly, one of Gozo\u2019s most famous natural sites, the Azure Window collapsed in a recent storm on the island, causing the huge arch that I saw on my visit to drop into the sea. It\u2019s so sad to see this wonderful site disappear but, you know what, that\u2019s nature \u2013 a constantly moving cycle of incredible events we should embrace and have a healthy respect for. If you\u2019re an avid diver, now is a great time to visit the magnificent Azure window arch that crashed into the ocean. Go on an organised dive and listen to local advice, this underwater landscape is new and still forming \u2013 no one should take too many risks here. 11.)\u00a0Popeye Village, Malta You can\u2019t visit Malta without seeing the original Popeye Village\u2026 can you? Okay, you can if you want but don\u2019t be a spoil sport \u2013 it\u2019s a quirky and a tiny bit tacky little village that was built for Popeye the film and has stayed on the island ever since\u2026 and you know what, I loved it! I feel like no one under 15 will even know who Popeye is now\u2026 anyway, if you do and you like your spinach, this is the town to visit! 12.) See Ta\u2019 Pinu\u00a0Basilica, Gozo Located a good 35-minute walk from\u00a0G\u0127arb on Gozo,\u00a0Ta\u2019 Pinu\u00a0Basilica is one picturesque place you should see. Although relatively new (in Maltese standards), it\u2019s well worth seeing and popping inside when on Gozo. 13.) See the sunset at Senglea harbour, Malta The natural harbour of Valletta is hard to miss, especially if you\u2019re going to be visiting the capital city anyway. Make sure to visit the Senglea Harbour area around sunset, when the sun lights up the stoney buildings with its beautiful orange glow. 14.)\u00a0Visit the Blue Grotto, Malta The Blue Grotto is perched on the southern end [&hellip;]"}
