While Malta has many white sandy beaches, tourists tend to flock to the many historical sites. One of the most popular is the Medieval Hilltop Town of Mdina on the main island of Malta.

Mdina, which is also known as Città Vecchia and Città Notabile, is a walled hilltop city that established in the 8th century BC. The medieval city would later become Mdina in the 11th century AD. Mdina’s well-preserved architecture is a sight to behold.

Here are some essential items to consider bringing on your trip to Malta:

  • Sunscreen
  • A bathing suit
  • Scuba or water gear

All Americans visiting Malta should register online with the U.S. Department of State before departure. This will inform the office of your travel plans within the country and will allow them to reach out in the case of an emergency or evacuation.
