Attractions

Mdina Fortress

One of the most impressive sites on the island is the ancient capital of Mdina, seated high at the center of the island.  Mdina has beautiful architecture and splendid views of the surrounding city of Rabat.  Known as the Silent City, the ancient capital has a long and interesting history worth checking out during your tour of Malta by car rental.

Golden Bay

Head to the Northwest coast of the island in your Malta car rental for a day at one of Malta's most beautiful beaches.  Here the sand and Mediterranean sea stretch on to provide a picturesque view like you've only seen on post cards.  Malta's beaches are also great places to find family activities, water sports, or a peaceful spot to relax.

The Blue Grotto

Drive around the south of Malta by car hire to find the series of seven caves and inlets that make up what is known as the Blue Grotto.  These natural rock formations form a spectacular place of deep blue waters which you can tour from the pier in a traditional boat.

Day Trips

Megalithic Temples at Goza

The neighboring island Goza is home to some of the world's oldest megalithic temples.  These structures have perplexed modern man for all of our known history; their construction would be difficult even with our largest and most modern equipment.  Take a tour of the countryside in a cheap Malta car rental that includes these mysterious ancient sites.

Diving

The waters around Malta are perfect for scuba diving all year long.  The visibility in the waters is generally high and there are several caves and interesting places to explore.  If you aren't an experienced diver Malta is a good place to learn and there are several tour companies who can help.

Comino

The smallest of Malta's three inhabited islands, Comino is a great place to see the local flora and fauna.  Most of the island is a nature reserve, and it has a distinct feel of peace and isolation from civilization.  There isn't much in the way of a tourism infrastructure on Comino, but it makes for a lovely day trip from Malta.
