The 10 best Instagram spots in Malta
The popular southern European vacation island of Malta attracts millions of tourists every year. Malta is also a paradise for Instagrammers with its many sights, picturesque bays and beaches, and exciting cities.
We have summarized the 10 most popular Instagram spots on the island for you below:
1. Popeye Village
Popeye Village is a colorful movie set that still stands since the filming of the Hollywood flick Popeye – the Sailor. The film village with its colorful houses in a picturesque bay is a real highlight for Instagrammers. Boat tours, original props and a crew with show acts provide entertainment. After the hustle and bustle, you can swim, dive and soak up the sun on the beach at Anchor Bay. If you want, you can even celebrate your dream wedding here.
2. Triq Sant' Orsla - Valletta
Between the Lower and Upper Barakka Gardens in Valletta runs Triq Sant’ Orsla, Sant Ursula Street. It is extremely narrow, ancient houses crowd its edges. Triq Sant’ Orsla is a popular photo motif and an absolute hotspot for Instagrammers.
3. Upper Barakka Gardens
The Upper Barakka Gardens extend on a former parade ground in Valletta, the capital of Malta. The beautiful park offers a fantastic view of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities. There are 56 stairs leading up to the 58-meter freely accessible upper platform, which is quickly climbed. At noon sharp, a firecracker is fired on the lower platform. Then there is a lot going on here, because this probably most accurate clock in Valletta magically attracts tourists.
4. Lower Barakka Gardens
Like its twin the Upper Barakka Gardens, the Lower Barakka Gardens offer breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour and Valletta’s many hotspots. Fort St. Angelo, Fort Ricasoli and the Bighi Palace can all be admired here. But the Lower Barakka Gardens are best for relaxing in the greenery.
5. Mdina Gate
Mdina is the old capital of Malta. It is perched on a high plateau in the middle of the vacation island. Many alleys and gates lead to the picturesque city, but it is simply a must to enter the old capital via the “Mdina Gate”.
6. St. Peter's Pool
St. Peter’s Pool is an insider’s tip for a real vacation feeling by the sea. Mostly only the locals swim in the small natural pool, but meanwhile the way to the small fishing village Marsaxlokk and then to St. Peter’s Pool is not so difficult anymore.
7. Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotta or Blue Grotto is one of the most impressive natural beauties in Malta. Even from above it looks fantastic. But the best way to experience the grotto is from a boat.
Info: Excursion boats leave for seven euros from the bay Wied iz-Zurrieq, which you can easily reach on foot from the small village Zurrieq.

8. Marsaxlokk Harbor
From Marsaxlokk harbor, the small Maltese Luzzu boats sail to St. Peter’s Pool for 4 euros. The traditional colorful boats rock here in large numbers on the water. But also the harbor itself with its beautiful promenade and the many stalls with fresh fish invites you to linger.
9. Grandmaster's Palace
The Grandmaster’s Palace at Republic Square in Valletta is rather inconspicuous from the outside. But a visit is worthwhile! Staterooms with countless wall paintings and pictures, an armory and breathtaking courtyards like the Neptune Court or the Prince Alfred Court impress the visitors.
10. Tal-Mixta Cave
The Tal Mixta Cave on the island of Gozo in Malta is a stunningly beautiful cave. It is located high up in the hills of Nadur, a small village with 4500 inhabitants. From the cave there are great views of the famous beaches like Ramla Bay.
