First, it is imperative to go through the city center with its long main street: Republic Street. This place is lively because of its various local cafes and restaurants, but especially for its mythical monument, the Casa Rocca Piccola. Travelers will discover the secrets about the history of the city and the Knights of the Order. A little further, they can go to the Manoël Theatre before moving on to the Place du Palais, also called St George's Square. This place particularly intrigues young visitors because it has a musical fountain that gushes out in the form of water jets. There is also the Palace of the Grand Masters to discover. Then, the co-cathedral of St John, located in the heart of the city, will impress many travelers with its gold-covered columns, marble pavement, monumental frescoes, and tombstones of the Knights of the Order of Malta, among others. Nature lovers will have an appointment at the Upper Barrakka Gardens. These green spaces stand out for their incredible beauty. There, tourists will take a break surrounded by hibiscus and bougainvillea. Moreover, a few steps from the park is the Inn of Castile, Leon and Portugal, one of the seven inns built for the Knights of the Order. After that, they can tour Lower Barrakka Gardens to admire the Bell War Memorial seat, a massive bell with 10 tons of bronze. But in addition to this, travelers can also spend some time admiring the magnificent Doric Temple dedicated to Alexander Ball, a thirteenth-century British admiral. Those who love boats and the sea will enjoy the Waterfront, where they can taste the local specialties and attend the jazz festival in July. The boat ride can be done by opting for a rental to go to the Trois Cités. ◄
