Events in Valletta

Valletta punches well above its size when it comes to events. Packed into one square kilometre of UNESCO-listed streets you'll find Baroque theatre at Teatru Manoel, Malta's oldest working theatre, contemporary art shows inside the Grand Master's Palace, and open-air concerts staged on the bastions above the Grand Harbour. As the capital it also hosts most of Malta's big set-piece events like Carnival and Notte Bianca, alongside a steady year-round programme of exhibitions and performances. And even on a quiet night, Valletta is worth the trip in itself: the city buzzes after dark with wine bars and restaurants spilling onto the streets, while by day its shops, markets and cafés keep the centre lively.
