Valletta & Malta
Valletta is a compact fortified capital built across a steep peninsula, while the surrounding island opens into prehistoric temples, walled cities, fishing villages, limestone coastlines and layered Mediterranean history.

Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Valletta was conceived as a complete fortified Renaissance city.
After the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, the Knights of St John founded Valletta in 1566 on the peninsula between two natural harbors. UNESCO describes its grid, bastioned walls and carefully placed monuments as a unified late-Renaissance creation, with hundreds of civil, religious, artistic and military monuments concentrated inside a remarkably compact city.
