Not as blue as the blue lagoon, but equally fascinating is the Grand Harbour, one of the world’s largest natural ports. You can discover its creeks and marinas by going on a harbour cruise that sets off from The Strand at Sliema. Otherwise, you can take most of it in from the famous Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, Malta’s capital. Admire its fortifications and the monstrous ships and cruise liners entering or leaving the port. Quite a sight! If you’re around at the end of April hang around for the Malta International Fireworks Festival.
