Trip Over to Malta
Ten Days in Malta: A Solo Traveller’s Love Affair
with History, Harbours and….Buses
I flew into Malta’s Luqa Airport, after a blissfully short hop from London – which, as someone usually flying in from Sydney, felt positively decadent. We flew down part of the Italian coast, with high altitude views of Cinque Terre and La Spezia. Then over Sicily before getting great views of Gozo and over the island of Malta as we descended for landing.
A quick taxi ride later, I arrived at the Grand Harbour Hotel in Valletta, dumped my bags, and had to tear myself away from the gob-smacking views from my room that were even more amazing from the roof top terrace just one floor up – I set off exploring my new surroundings before it got dark, then as Valletta comes alive in the evening there was plenty more exploring to do after dark.
Getting Around Malta: Buses, Steps, and Strategy
Malta is wonderfully easy to get around and felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveller. Valletta itself is compact and walkable… with one small caveat: the stairs. Long, uneven, ancient stone stairs. Everywhere. By the end of the trip I was noticeably fitter, whether I wanted to be or not. There were some places to take an alternate, and longer, route to avoid the steps, but sometimes you just have to throw yourself at it.
I bought a 7-day Tallinja card to use for bus transport, that ended up being very good value, there were some days I made six or eight bus trips. The buses are regular, and easy to plan routes on Google Maps. I bought my Tallinja Card from the Information Booth at the main Valletta Bus Station near Triton’s Fountain, then you just find your bus, tap on and get going. The bus station is very organised, all buses leave from their clearly marked stand, then return to just up the road. The ticket is validated on the first use, so I timed it so my 7-day ticket would work for the last seven days. Walking in Valletta for the first few days, then going further afield — a strategy I’d highly recommend.
War Rooms and Grand Masters
My first full afternoon was spent underground at the Lascaris War Rooms, where Allied operations were coordinated during World War II. From there, I emerged into the sunshine and headed to the Grand Master’s Palace on St George’s Square — once home to the Grand Master of the Knights of the Order of St John.
Valletta is made for wandering around aimlessly discovering things, and I happily spent hours drifting through its streets, gardens, and viewpoints.
Tarxien, Marsaxlokk, and a Very Personal Pilgrimage
By my second full day in Malta, I was ready to get out of Valletta, I caught the bus to Tarxien to see the Tarxien Prehistoric Temples, dating from around 3150–2500 BC, very interesting for the history buffs amongst us. Especially interesting for me because I was born in Malta, my father was in the Royal Navy and stationed there at the time. We left when I was only 6 weeks old, but the house we lived in was just near the Tarxien Prehistoric Temples, so I had to get some photos of it. It was fascinating to walk around the streets my parents would have walked on during their very happy three years living in Malta.
Then back to the bus stop and back on to the #81 bus out to Marsaxlokk, on the east coast. A picture-perfect fishing village with a market on the edge of the bay and all the traditional brightly coloured Maltese fishing boats, called Luzzu, bobbing out on the bay.
Royal Residences and Places Best Left Quickly
I then made my way back towards Valletta and went in search of Villa Guardamangia, the house where Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip lived between 1949 and 1951, when he was stationed in Malta with the Royal Navy, (before she became Queen Elizabeth ll). Sitting up at the top of a very steep road, I’m sure it was once beautiful, but now in a sorry state of disrepair. How, or why, it was left to get in that condition amazes me, but apparently it is being restored, (very slowly!), and will eventually be open to the public.
From there I caught my 4th bus for the day to Sliema. I had heard it was a nice place, it isn’t – at least not for me. Mainly new, modern, soulless high-rise buildings. and a modern indoor shopping mall, I’ve got all that at home, I don’t need to see it here. Apparently, there are good restaurants and night clubs here – I will never know! What I saw of it was enough to have me heading back to the bus stop to go back to Valletta, where I had a traditional Rabbit Stew for dinner in one of the many restaurants on Merchants St — a much better decision.
The Three Cities and Forts Galore
Day 4 began with the ferry across The Grand Harbour to the Three Cities, Vittoriosa (Birgu), Senglea (Isla) and Cospicua (Bormla). I could see this area from my hotel room, so very keen to get over there. The ferry leaves from just down the hill from Victoria Gate and goes straight across past all the luxury yachts to Cospicua. Just as I arrived the Little Train was getting ready to go on it’s next tour of the area, so I jumped on and was taken all over the Three Cities to give me a good outline of the whole area.
I then walked out along the Birgu Waterfront to the point to visit Fort St Angelo. A must see for history lovers, built in the 13th Century, and seen off many invaders. The Resident Knight, the Grand Master of the Order of Malta, lives here now, no longer having to fend off attackers – a much quieter role now.
St John’s Co-Cathedral and a Caravaggio Masterpiece
Day 5 – After climbing the massive stairs from The Grand Harbour Hotel up to the centre of Valletta, I visited St John’s Co-Cathedral. Built in the mid 1500s as the church for the Knights of the Order of St John. Although the outside is fairly uneventful, inside tells a completely different story! The ornate decoration in every part of it is breathtaking. It also houses Caravaggio’s famous painting of “The Beheading of St John” (1608), his only signed work.
After that, it was on to the bus to Mtarfa then to Mdina. I only went to Mtarfa because what was once the Royal Naval Hospital where I was born is there. The building is still there, with the sign above the door, I had read it was now a college, but it seemed to be a gigantic unused closed up building. I walked up into Mtarfa village, but there is not much there. You can see Mdina across the valley, just a short bus ride away.
Mdina, the previous capital of Malta, another must visit. Known as the silent city, strolling around inside the city walls was really peaceful, only the occasional clip-clop of horses hooves on the cobbled streets broke the silence.Then just outside the Mdina city walls is the town of Rabat, also good to stroll around and I had a late lunch/early dinner in a pub there.
Gozo, Mosta, and Miracles
Day 6 – Caught the fast ferry from Valletta to Gozo for a day trip. It would have been nice to spend more time in Gozo to really explore it, a day trip really doesn’t do it justice. I went to Victoria, the capital of Goza, then jumped on to the Hop On Hop Off bus, we covered a lot of ground but didn’t have a lot of time to get off and have a really good look knowing I had to be back to Mgarr to catch the ferry back to Valletta. Next time I will plan to spend a few days in Gozo.
Day 7 – to Mosta to visit the Rotunda domed church, (I could see the dome from the Mdina City walls) another amazing building that survived a WWll bomb hitting it, but the bomb didn’t explode – the ‘Miracle of Mosta’. Here you can go up into the dome for the views down into the church, then visit the bomb shelter in the basement, then most importantly, a visit to the cake shop outside is compulsory!!
I was then back on a bus to St Paul’s Bay. The beaches were already full of people in early April, I’m not really a beach person, but it was a nice area to walk around before heading back to Valletta.
Towers, Bastions, and Film Sets
Day 8 took me to another fishing village out on the east coast. Marsaskala, a beautiful bay, I walked for miles around the bay, out to the salt pans then found St Thomas’ Tower, built in the 1600s to defend Malta from yet another invasion from those pesky Ottomans, now housing a very interesting museum.
Still in the mood for more forts, I went back to Valletta and walked out to the point to visit Fort St Elmo and the National War Memorial Museum. I was amazed to see a whole area of derelict terrace houses in Ball’s Bastion, that have been left to rot since the Royal Navy left in the 1960s, their only claim to fame since is they were used as the film set for ‘Midnight Express’. Ball’s Bastion was named for Sir Alexander Ball, the first British Commissioner in Malta in the late 1700s. He was buried there after his death in 1809.
I then continued my walk around the coastline of Valletta. I was trying to find where the Royal Navy Submarine base was, no one seemed to know, but the closest definite/maybe I got was in the bay between Valletta and Manoel Island, now Manoel Island Yacht Marina.
Cannons, Cold Winds, and Farewell
Day 9 started with a visit to the Museum of Archaeology on Republic St, then as I was determined to see the midday Canon Firing at the Saluting Battery, I could see it from the terrace at my hotel about 100mtrs away, but I wanted to see it close up. I went up there at about 11am to stake out my position before the crowds came, it was a cooler windy day so by the time we got to midday, I was freezing, but it was worth it!!
A quick dash back to the hotel to warm up, then on to a bus Manoel Island. I walked across the little bridge on to the island and then walked out to Fort Manoel that I was told was used as the Navy Parade Ground, I also came across a row of derelict terrace houses that were once the homes of Royal Navy Officers. It was quite sad to see everything was overgrown and in ruins. These houses were once used as offices for some government departments for a short time, then their only other use was as a film set….but now just more abandoned naval housing — beautiful, melancholy, and forgotten about…..
Not Nearly Long Enough
Day 10, I was on the 6am ferry from Valletta to Pozzallo in Sicily to continue my solo adventure.
Ten days in Malta was not enough – I’m not even sure that ten weeks would be enough…. that’s the joy of travel — sometimes the best trips are the ones that leave you already planning the next visit.

On a chilly Budapest morning, but the blue sky was a nice touch ✨️. I was planning to visit the Hungarian Parliament Building today... but Saturday crowds got the best of me! The exterior of this building is stunning, can`t wait to explore the inside.
#solotravel #hungarianparliamentbuilding #budapest #budapestarchitecture
Porto Nuovo, or `new gate`, was built in the 15th century, but after a fire, the current gate was built in 1669. Guess `new` is relative! This spot became a hub for me - markets nearby, lovely parks and the bus stop to other towns like Monreale, was just through here. Located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Palermo.

As usual, when it cones to museums, I usually find the building more interesting than the exhibits!! Vienna Natural History Museum was no exception!!

After catching the tram across the river, I strolled through Letna Park, there are stunning views of Prague`s Vltava river, the bridges and the castle, not to mention all the flowers in the park.

Cesky Krumlov, a quaint medieval town in the south of the Czech Republic, a simple day trip by train from Prague....then lots and lots of walking on cobble stone paths!!

Had a quick run around Prague after a 4 hour train trip from Vienna. I was last in Prague 9 years ago, all seems familiar except Wenceslas Square....apart from the statue of Good King Wenceslas on his horse, the rest of the square that used to be an elegant collection of historic buildings, hotels, cafes, etc......has now turned into Oxford Street, London...Primark, C&A, Half Price, the list goes on......who thought that was a good idea????

On my solo adventure in Palermo, Quattro Canti became a familiar spot I visited almost daily ✨️ This iconic intersection of Via Maqueda and Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the center of the city`s historic quarters - Kalsa, Seralcadi, Albergaria, and Castellammare all meet here.
In the evenings, it`s the perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere and plan a night out at one of the many restaurants on Via Maqueda.

Dinner at the Parisi Passage, a historic gem from the 1800s inspired by Parisian arcades, it withstood bombing raids but faced neglect post-war, now revived as a stunning hotel with an incredible restaurant and bar.

Started off this morning heading to a market, but as I was passing St Stephen`s Basilica, the bells were ringing to signal a service was about to start. I figured that would be the way to get in without paying the hefty admission charge ✨️I took a few quick photos before things got underway! Then realised I was the only person there who didn`t know the words, or the actions, so when everyone stood up as part of their routine, as I was in the back row, I just backed out completely.....

Exploring Trapani Salt Pans on the west coast of Sicily with a day trip tour from Palermo - what a quirky spot! Windmills, old boats, and epic views. The last shot shows the hilltop medieval city of Erice, which I featured in my previous posts. The solo adventure continues.....

The streets of Valletta, Malta. Endless hours of exploring this amazing place. A wonderful place for solo travellers, easy to get around and very safe. Something for everyone, especially for history buffs!!
#solotrip #traveltheworldwithme #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #solotravelinmalta
In the London Bridge area on the south side of the Thames, after visiting the Versace exhibition at The Arches, I walked down past The Shipwrights Arms across to Hay`s Galleria....used to be Hay`s Wharf....now shops, restaurants, Christmas stalls, and a giant Christmas Tree.
Discovering Segesta`s Doric Temple, built in 420BC ✨️, and the adjacent Greek Theatre on a hillside. On this Palermo daytrip, we covered Segesta, Trapani, and Erice (previous posts have more). Apparently, some believe the temple remained unfinished, evident from the unfluted columns and remaining construction blocks.

Panoramic views from the medieval city of Erice, gazing out towards Palermo, far away and over the hills, across the north coast of Sicily. ✨️ My thoughts are with those in Sicily, Malta, and southern Italy who have lost so much due to Cyclone Harry.

Budapest`s streets are full of art✨️ apparently there are mini sculptures scattered everywhere, and I`ve found one of them so far!!
The hunt continues.....

My stroll through the tranquil Palermo Botanic Gardens, where I came to a lovely glass house, ponds full of lily pads and this man known as the Genius of Palermo (at least they have one!!), the protector of the city, with this enormous snake chomping into his chest.

After visiting Monreale Cathedral and marveling at all the gold✨️ I enjoyed a serene walk around town. With most people still attending the service, I had the place almost to myself.

The views from Erice stretch endlessly in every direction ✨️ No wonder they built their medieval stronghold here - a strategic spot to survey the land. The view here spans the salt pans and Trapani on Sicily`s west coast, with Isola Lavanzo and Isola di Favignana dotting the Mediterranean, and Isola di Marittimo on the horizon.

A crowd gathers every hour to watch the Astronomical Clock in Prague put on a show 😂 Then some people clap and cheer, and some people laugh in an `is that it` kind of way.

Back to Schonbrunn Palace to see the Imperial Apartments. Gold was definitely the order of the day ✨️ but I reckon I could live there quite comfortably with a few more mod cons!!

Memorial to the Jews who were rounded up during WWII, they were lined up on the edge of the Danube, forced to remove their shoes, then they were shot in the back and their bodies fell into the river.......

Just a short hop from Palermo, the markets in Monreale were getting ready for the day, filled with traditional Sicilian Moor`s Heads, or Testa di Moro.

In Erice, I stumbled upon Sicily`s ultimate pastry haven, but what should I try??? The struggle to resist buying it all was very real😋 I was not disappointed with my choice!!

The crowds were out in force in London on a gloomy Boxing Day so just a quick visit to Trafalgar Square, then back to Piccadilly area, through Princes Arcade, which drew me in with the tailoring/sewing/fashion decorations and up past Fortnums.

Delicious Christmas lunch🎄 @royaloverseaslondon ✨️
We started with a few glasses of bubbles, and a variety of finger foods 🥂while making new friends.
Then moved on to a celeric and truffle foam amuse bouche (that I forgot to photograph!!). Follwed by smoked salmon, roast turkey and Christmas pudding.
I won`t need to eat for a week 💖

Cefalu`s Duomo, a masterpiece that took 100 years to build and opened its doors in 1240 ✨️. The exterior belies the intricate interior design, with delicate carvings and stunning mosaics everywhere.

Walking from Bratislava train station to the town centre takes 15 minutes, passing through a park and by the parliament buildings before reaching the historic cobblestone streets.
This is where the touristification of the town kicks in, every shop is a restaurant or souvenier shop.
Even the castle is a remake of what they think tourists want to see....we actually want to see the original castle!!

Arriving in Vienna, I found my hotel at set off exploring the neighbourhood, the architecture is all gobsmacking, but hard to get far enough away from to photograph!!

Went to the stangest market in Vienna at Rathausplatz. Every one of the stalls sold wine, a few sold food, there were people everywhere in national dress, some holding, but no one playing, musical instruments......and Verstappen`s F1 car!!???

Discover the serene Botanic Gardens, just a short stroll down Via Lincoln from Palermo Centrale Station.✨️ A perfect haven from the city`s hustle and bustle. And check out this fashionista lizard! 🦎 While reptiles aren`t my thing, and green isn`t my colour, he pulls it off nicely! While you might be thinking I was brave to get this close, the camera zoom made the magic happen 😜!!

Explored the stunning Belvedere Palace in Vienna, a former imperial residence that`s truly breathtaking. The gardens were gorgeous, especially with the ponds and fountains coming to life now that winter`s loosening its grip, slightly....!!

The best part of the day trip from Vienna to Bratislava was the boat trip back to Vienna on the Danube!! The hydofoiling catamaran was fast, about 90 minutes, the crew were great. It was freezing cold and windy outside, but I couldn`t help myself, I just had to keep going out to take photos, then running back in to sip my wine 🥂!!!
Great for solo travelers, I met so many other travellers onboard.

The largest synagogue in Europe, built in the 1850s, has been witness to unmentionable horrors during WWII including being bombed. It borders the ghetto where the Jews were left to die. In the garden cemetery there are tens of thousands of nameless bodies and a few that could be identified.
There us a very powerful museum housed here too.

Exploring Erice ✨️ a medieval city perched high on a hill in western Sicily. It`s a beautiful spot to wander around for a few hours. The city has roots in the pre-Roman era, but most of the structures standing today date back to the Normans in 1148.
I was going to make my own way there on the train from Palermo to Trapani, then up to Erice on the cable car, but I found a small group tour that went to Erice, Trapani Salt Pans and Segesta so joined that instead. It meant I missed spending time in Trapani town centre, but I wouldn`t have been able to get to the Temple of Segesta by myself. You win some, you lose some!!
That just means one day I`ll have to go back to Sicily again 💖🥂!!

Quattro Canti, or Piazza Vigliena, is a stunning Baroque square at the heart of Palermo`s historic centre. Located where Via Maqueda meets Corso Vittorio Emanuele, each corner symbolises one of the city`s ancient districts, built in 1620. Via Maqueda is now a pedestrian zone, bustling with restaurants, ranging from great spots to tourist traps, and it`s the perfect place to stroll around in the evenings.
