Valletta, the capital city of Malta, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see destination. It is only a short drive away from our English Path school. This city is filled with charming shops, cafes, and historical sites like the great St. John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace, and the Upper Barrakka Gardens. They are some of the best spots in Malta. You can also walk through the narrow streets, lined with colourful Maltese balconies, and practise your English by talking to the locals who can tell you about the hidden gems in the city. 

Mdina, nicknamed the "Silent City," is a medieval walled city located in the northern part of Malta. It is a beautiful place if you want a break from the busy city of Valletta and explore the quiet, narrow streets and breathtaking architecture. The city is best explored on foot. You can learn about Malta's history at the Mdina Dungeons or the Mdina Experience, and don't miss Mdina Cathedral. 

You can take a boat trip from Malta to experience the amazing, crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island. It is a must-visit for any beach lover. You can swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or take a boat trip around the lagoon. The water is so clear; you can see everything underneath! You can see fish swimming around, and the water is the prettiest shade of blue. While you're having all this fun, don't forget to talk about it in English! Describe what you see – the fish, the water, everything! 

Gozo is the calm and peaceful sister island of Malta, which you can visit by ferry from the mainland. There, you can see the Ġgantija Temples (meaning 'belonging to the giants'). These historic temples were built during the Neolithic period. The local folklore says that they were made by giants! Other beautiful attractions around Gozo include the Dwejra Inland Sea, the Wied il-Mielah Window and the Azure Window. You can practise your English by having friendly chats with locals at the markets and cafes. It'll give you a chance to improve your speaking skills and learn some interesting stories about Gozo! 

If you're looking for a perfect beach day, head to Golden Bay, a popular sandy beach on the northwestern coast of Malta. Just over a half an hour's drive from the English Path school, it is one of the best spots in Malta to relax on a sun loungers and soak up the warmth, go for a swim in the clear blue waters, try out some water sports like windsurfing or kayaking, or even enjoy a delicious meal at one of the beachside restaurants. But, because it's so well-known, Golden Bay can get crowded, especially during summer. So, if you want to have a quieter beach experience, you can visit Ghajn Tuffieha, another beautiful beach nearby where you can relax and enjoy the views.
