    Users Assigned: Kazmi  
    Valletta is the new capital of Malta (before it was Mdina). Located roughly 2/3 of the way along the northern coast of the Island, approximately 10km from Luqa airport. It is the largest harbor city on Malta. The harbor effectively splits the town almost in half. Valletta is the main stop from the bus terminals, as all buses either head to or from Valletta, which means cross Island journeys will result in a brief stop at Valletta.

    Valletta is one of the main areas for larger shops and facilities, being that Malta is so small and Valletta is so accessible. It is especially bustling during the Christmas season when it is decorated with all kinds of decorations and lights. Shops stay open until late and during the weekends, carolers of all ages will be singing on the sidewalks along with other street stalls and performers.

    The Maltese Carnival is a real treat. The main carnival parade which is made up of a large number of floats and hundreds of performers from all over Malta takes place in Valletta. The parade goes through the main roads of Valletta. The Carnival celebrations usually take around 3 days and all main activities are centered in Valletta.

    Valletta also offers the most amazing views from its 2 main gardens; The Upper Barrakka Gardens (In Maltese it is called: Il-Barrakka ta' Fuq) which offers an amazing panoramic view of the Grand Harbour, and the Lower Barrakka Gardens (In Maltese it is called: Il-Barrakka t'Isfel) which overlooks the Grand Harbour and the breakwater also offers views of Fort Ricasoli, Bighi Palace, Fort St Angelo and the creeks of Vittoriosa and Kalkara.

      • Tarxien
        Tarxien is a suburb very close to the Three Cities in the island of Malta. it's famous for its world class ruins known as the Tarxien Temples - a megalithic temple complex which is among the oldest freestanding structures on Earth. It forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

        The oldest temple here is said to date back to about 3600 BCE. The temples feature various statues and reliefs of animals, including goats (for which Malta is noted) and pigs. Most notable of the statues found in the Temples are about 2.5 m in height, and are said to represent a sort of Mother Goddess. There are several of these statues scattered around the various temples, and are thought to represent fertility. There was also one of three small baked clay figurines in the form of what is said to be a priest that was found here.

        The parish church of Ħal Tarxien is dedicated to the Annunciation of Our Lady, hence the Tarxinizi (the people of Ħal Tarxien) consider the Blessed Virgin Mary, particularly at Her Annunciation as the Patron and Protector of their town and its whole population. The church was elevated to the status of parish in 1592, making it one of the oldest parishes of Malta.

      • Malta International Airport

        There is a food court in the basement, and a very dark looking English Pub-type of place. Food court consists of US fast food outlets and a pizza place. Handy if people in your party want to mix-and-match their food, and you fancy a KFC or suchlike.

        From that level you can take a lift up to the roof of the building and get a view of the apron and the runway. Glass barricades permit a good view, but not much to lean on.

        There is a small mural of the history of the Airport, which will kill about 10 mins if you hanging around.
