About Valletta for Solo Travelers

The world's smallest national capital and one of its most spectacular — a Baroque city-fortress of golden limestone built by the Knights of St John on a rocky peninsula above the Grand Harbour. Every street is a viewpoint; the food scene is outstanding; the sea swimming is some of the best in the Mediterranean. Valletta is perfect for solo travelers who want big-city culture in a compact, walkable package.

St John's Co-Cathedral

Culture

One of the greatest Baroque interiors in the world — a 1577 Knights of St John church with a floor of marble tombstones, walls dripping in gold, and Caravaggio's largest painting (The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, his only signed work) in the Oratory. A cathedral that makes even hardened travelers stop in silence.
