The Reasons To Choose A Tropical Island Vacation Every Year

BY  Abdul Aziz Jan 18, 2024

Pack comfortable walking shoes for a stroll along the Inner Harbor and a visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art, which houses impressionist paintings by Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne. If you are not that into art visit Federal Hill Park or watch a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards right before you indulge your taste buds with the city's favorite blue crabs. Off the beaten path, visit Druid Hill Park to see the Maryland Zoo and Mount Vernon to see Baltimore's Washington Monument. History buffs, art lovers, and foodies will all enjoy this city's vibrant neighborhoods. These are home to everything from modern museums to historical monuments to a thriving dining scene. Things To Do In Baltimore If you are visiting Baltimore and want to know what to do once you reach, here are a few top options you cannot miss out on. Take a peek at all the things to do in Baltimore. The Avenue The eccentric neighborhood that appeared in John Waters' films remains a popular hangout, particularly along The Avenue. It's also known for its annual festivals, including Honfest. It honors women with beehive hairstyles and The Miracle of Lights on 34th St. It is an extravagant, kitschy holiday light display held on one city block every December. Some of the city's best restaurants and bars can be found on this street. It includes Dylan's Oyster Cellar, The Food Market, Avenue Kitchen & Bar, and The Bluebird. After that, go to the Charmery for some Old Bay caramel ice cream. Baltimore Museum of Art Surprisingly, the world's largest Matisse collection is not in Paris or Nice. (Can you see where this is going?) Yes, it is on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art. More than 1,000 works by the French Fauvist painter and sculptor are on display at the museum. The elegant building designed by John Russell Pope is also a work of art, with six Doric columns adorning the front. After brunch at the museum restaurant, visit the sculpture garden, which occasionally hosts jazz concerts. Fort McHenry Fort McHenry, designed in the shape of a five-pointed star, defended the city during the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. This inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star-Spangled Banner. The exhibits and ranger programs are informative and entertaining. The 42-acre park, which edges into the harbor, provides excellent opportunities to have fun outdoors. Take a walk on the sea wall trail or relax on a picnic bench near the water.

The interactive exhibits tell the story of Douglass and Myers, who established America's first African-American shipyard. The beautiful waterfront setting is a great place to start exploring the historic Fells Point neighborhood. Sandlot Sandlot is a great place to hang out on the beach with friends (just don't get in the water). Grab a boozy slushie, a local beer or cocktail, or some locally sourced munchies from James Beard Award-winning Spike Gjerde's restaurant group from the airstream trailer. Sandlot is also an excellent location for photographing Baltimore's iconic neon Domino Sugar sign. Sandlot is only available during the summer. Mount Vernon Place Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore's cultural center, is home to the Washington Monument. Climb the 227 marble steps for a breathtaking view of the neighborhood's elegant 19th and 20th-century rowhomes. They are designed in Beaux Arts, Greek Revival, and Italianate styles. The square is also a good starting point for exploring the Mount Vernon neighborhood. It is home to many architectural wonders, such as a Norman-Gothic church, the Palazzo-style Walters Art Museum, and the George Peabody Library. During the summer, the surrounding parks host outdoor events for the entire family. Inner Harbor The Inner Harbor is home to many of Baltimore's attractions. It includes the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, the USS Constellation, and the major sports stadiums. With a prime location alongside the Chesapeake Bay, the Harbor has been one of the most important seaports in the country since the 18th century. Aside from the nearby attractions, you can spend the day walking around the area. You can also watch a street performance or explore the shops and restaurants. While some travelers describe the area as a tourist trap, the scenic walks and convenient location make it a must-see for any first-time visitor. The neighborhood is a great place to take a water taxi, eat a meal, and shop. In addition, there are numerous summer concerts and events in the area. Federal Hill We know that for many Baltimore visitors, the Inner Harbor is their first stop. But, before you visit the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, Power Plant, and Historic Ships, get a bird's-eye view of the attractions all around the waterfront at Federal Hill Park. It offers a 10-acre elevated park that was defended by the city when the War of 1812 was waged. To climb the 99 steps to the top, wear comfortable shoes. Head to Federal Hill, just south of downtown, for some of the best views of the Inner Harbor and the Baltimore skyline. During the Civil War and the War of 1812, the massive hill served as a major lookout point. Until recently, it was also known as Signal Hill, where local companies' flags were raised as their ships approached the harbor. According to previous visitors, Federal Hill has the best view in the city. You can reach the summit of Federal Hill via stairs or a rolling hill. Head up the 100 stairs on the Battery Avenue side if you prefer the stairs. Warren Avenue, on the other hand, lacks stairs but offers scenic hillside views. If you're in town for the Fourth of July, this is a great place to watch the fireworks. Artscape Artscape, an annual outdoor summer arts extravaganza, features three stages of dance, theater, and concerts. It is held on the third weekend of July. The jam-packed weekend has featured well-known musical headliners such as Wyclef Jean, Sheila E, and Common. It is billed as the largest free arts festival in the United States. More than 150 artists sell jewelry, crafts, and one-of-a-kind objets d'art for your home, as well as food and drink from local vendors. It draws more than 350,000 people. Vaccaro With a long history of treating the nation, you can be sure to find a dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth at Vaccaro's. Yes, we're talking Snickers volcanos, chocolate death, cannoli cake slices, and cheesecake topped with gelato, hot fudge, and whipped topping. Do you require a signature? If you only try one thing, wear your roomiest pants and head straight for the pastry shells filled with sweetened ricotta and chocolate chips. Wrapping Up There's more to Baltimore than The Wire, widely regarded as the greatest television show in the history of television shows (opinions differ). When you think of Charm City, your thoughts may immediately turn to the picturesque Inner Harbor or delicious steamed crabs dusted with Old Bay spice. Everyone has a different perception of Baltimore. With a fantastic restaurant scene nestled next to brilliant bars, street markets, quirky festivals, and more, the best things to do in Baltimore bridge the gap between fascinating American history and modern boutique shopping. It can take years to truly understand Baltimore, but these incredible experiences should serve as a good starting point. Read Also: Best 9 Things To Do In El Paso!

Everything great is happening in Valletta's tourism industry these days. 2025 has been a year of growth and recognition for Valletta, the small capital city of Malta, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  In the forest quarter of 2025 itself, Malta received more than 693,000 visitors according to the Tour and Travel World. It was an 18.9% rise from the same period in 2024. Furthermore, in the same period, the tourist spending reached €508.5 million.  This means tourism continues to offer opportunities for local and foreign entrepreneurs who come to set up companies in Malta, with the help of local specialists from BridgWest.  In addition, the World Travel $ Tourism Council has chosen Malta as the venue for the WTTC Global Summit, 2026. The 26th edition of the summit will take place in collaboration with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs & Tourism and the Government of Malta.  The prominent landmarks of Valletta, such as the Grand Harbour and St. John's Co-Cathedral, and activities such as exploring Victoria's Gate and trying some brilliant craft beer, and cultural richness, have helped Valletta enjoy such growth in numbers and global recognition.  I have been to Malta, and starting from exploring the fortified walls of Valletta to enjoying the serene charm of Valletta Grand Harbour Waterfront, the free things to do in Valletta were the highlights for me. On such a shoestring budget, I was able to enjoy the essence of a city, which even enjoyed the status of the European Capital of Culture 2018.  In this Tour and Travel Blog, I will, of course, talk about the free activities and other fun and interesting things to do in Valletta.  What Are The Things To Do In Valletta? As I started exploring the city of Valletta, I noticed the signature "Pointed Cross" of the Knights protecting this ancient city from everything evil.  If this is something really spiritual, on the other hand, you will see history becoming alive with the post boxes, telephone booths, and British colonial architecture.  Nevertheless, these are the things to do in Valletta. 1. Visiting The St. John's Co-Cathedral Address: Triq San Gwann, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta Hours Open: 9 AM to 4:15 PM (Monday to Saturday) Entry Fee: Adults: €15, Seniors: €12, Students: €12, Children (Under 12): Free when accompanied by an adult, €5 Extra for a Belfray Tour, Audio Tour Included View this post on Instagram A post shared by St John's Co-Cathedral (@stjohnscocathedral) The St. John's Co-Cathedral is the most prominent example of the Baroque-style architecture of Valletta. The Knights of the St. John built this conventional church for the order in the late 16th century.  You will know about the life of St. John the Baptist from the paintings by Mattia Preti on the ceiling of this cathedral.  Furthermore, there are eight chapels, dedicated to various languages, tapestries, marble floors, and gilded carvings. However, the main focus for me was the painting called "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist." This dramatic work, one of the few artworks signed by Caravaggio, is in the Oratory. 2. Exploring Fort St. Elmo And The National War Museum Address: Mediterranean Street, Valletta, Malta Hours Open: 9 AM to 5 PM Entry Fee: Adults - €10.00, Senior Citizens (60+) and Youths (12-17 Years) - €7.50, Students - €7.50, Children (5-11 Years) - €5.00, Below 5 Years - Free Fort St. Elmo stands as a witness to the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. It has military paraphernalia and many artefacts.  However, the major appeal of the fort is intangible, and it lies in the fact of how it became a refuge for the people of Malta during the attack of the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of Suleiman the Magnificent.  The Knights, only around 500 in numbers, defeated the 6000 strong army of the Ottoman Emperor. Furthermore, the National War Museum inside the fort, spanning over seven sections, celebrates the 7000-year-old history of Malta. Some of the exhibits here date back to the Bronze Age (2,500 BC).  You can even request a guided tour of the museum.  Insider Tip: 2025 marked the 900th year of the Great Siege of Malta. A docu-drama called The Great Siege of Malta 1565 was released in 2025. This 45-minute docu-drama celebrates the bravery of the "Hospitalier Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem."  3. Visiting The Grand Master's Palace Address: St George's Square, Valletta Hours: 9 AM to 5 PM Entry Fee: €12 for Adults, €10 for Children Aged 12 to 17 Years and Seniors, Children (6-11): €8, Infants (1-5): Free The Grand Master of the Order of St. John used to rule Valletta from the Grand Master's Palace. The armory here is the main attraction, and it has the accessories and outfits of the Knights.  Furthermore, the symbol of power, with its history of 450 years, is once again in the news with its recent renovation work.  It was also the "seat of the first constitutional parliament of Malta in 1921," and now it is the "Seat of the Office of the President of Malta." 4. A Guided Tour Of Casa Rocca Piccola Address: 74 Republic Street, Valletta, Malta Hours: Monday - Saturday: 10 AM to 5 PM Audio Tours: From 10 AM Guided Tours: From 10 AM to 4 PM (On An Hourly Basis) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Casa Rocca Piccola (@casaroccapiccola) Do you know that the 9th Marquis de Piro still lives in this 16th-century palace? Join the audio tours or the guided tours to see the swanky furniture and unique staircases.  However, for me, the Bomb Shelters were the main attraction. These are not dark tourism spots. These are the living history of World War II.  When 15 air raids took place in 1942, the people of Valletta saved their lives by hiding in these chambers. These shelters were part of the quarry of the 400-year-old house, and they were made from a solid rock foundation.  5. Know The WWII Stories Of Malta At Lascaris War Rooms Address: Lascaris Ditch, Valletta VLT 2000, Malta Hours: 10 AM to 4:30 PM Entry Fee - Adults: €20, Seniors: €19, 5-15 Years Old: €7, Family: €35, Children below 5 Years: Free I love history, and even if you don't, you cannot avoid knowing about WW1 and WW2. These two wars changed the course of human civilization.  At Lascaris War Rooms, you don't just see the exhibits. You live through the moments of war as you explore the tunnels and labyrinths used as protection from the Italian and German attacks during World War 2.  It's like getting transported to the 1940s within a minute.  Insider Tip: I found the War Rooms more fascinating than the National War Museum at Fort St Elmo. Did you know that these War Rooms were used as the headquarters for the Invasion of Sicily or Operation Husky? 6. Visiting The National Museum Of Archaeology Address: Auberge de Provençe, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta Hours: 8 AM to 7 PM (Admission Closes at 6:30 PM) Entry Fee: €5 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Heritage Malta (@heritagemalta) I was at a loss for words at the National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta. It has everything you need to know about the prehistoric days of Malta.  Once I entered, the first room had exhibits showing how the earliest people settled here, even before the temple establishment period. It had "Red Skorba ornaments" and some "tools" they used in their everyday lives.  I also got to see exhibits from the Ghar Dalam phase (5200 BC), Tarxien phase (2500 BC), and Bronze Age.  Then, I reached the main hall of the museum. It had the Sleeping Lady and other astonishing sculptures and temple carvings.  Among the collectibles from the Temple Period, the Obsidian Core was the most impressive. It was a headless sculpture, in a seated posture.  Housed inside a Baroque building, this museum is now the main attraction of Auberge de Provençe, which was earlier the home of the Knights of the St. John. Insider Tip: If you are traveling from any other town in Malta, take a bus to the Valetta Bus Terminal. From there, it is a short distance on foot.  7. Visiting The Upper Barrakka Gardens Address: 292 Triq Sant'Orsla, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta Hours: 7 AM to 10 PM Entry Fee: Free Home to the Siege Bell War Memorial, the Upper Barrakka Gardens offer amazing views of the harbor and the three neighboring cities.  This 16th-century garden was built in the 16th century, and the Knights of the Saint John once used it as a private garden.  Once you are done strolling the Castille Square, you will find the Upper Barrakka Gardens nearby.  Insider Tip: It's great to relax at the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens and have a sip of your favorite drink. However, at 12 PM and 4 PM, the officials of the Malta Heritage Society get dressed in military uniforms and fire the cannons at the Upper Barakka Gardens.  Now, I had a cup of hot coffee in my hand, and I was not ready for it. So, it fell out of my hand, and it was a mess.  Nevertheless, this tradition has been continued for more than 100 years, and once you attend it, you will know why it is worth it.  Also, you must use the Barakka Lift to travel between the upper and lower Barakka Gardens quickly.  8. Plan A Visit To The Lower Barrakka Gardens Address: Lvant, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta Hours: 7 AM to 10 PM Entry Fee: Free I know people do not talk much about the Lower Barrakka Gardens. However, that's a blessing in disguise. It is way less crowded than the Upper Barrakka Garden.  Now, despite having the name as "Gardens," it is actually a small-scale garden with a few minutes taken to complete the stroll.  However, there is a fort and a waterfront with Greek-style arches overlooking them. You can relax here, have your moments, and make the most of the photo ops. 9. Enjoying The Waterfront The Baroque houses, surrounding the waterfront of Valletta, were earlier used for storing the essentials of the Grand Master. Now, they are bars and restaurants.  I found the promenade the perfect place to relax and cherish a drink with my eyes set on the ships cruising. The place is more magical after sundown, but there is a trick! You have to find a cafe or restaurant that is not crowded by tourists. Find yourself a quiet corner. 10. Watching A Performance At The Manoel Theatre Address: Old Theatre Street, Il-Belt Valletta, Malta Capacity: 623 Opened In: 1732 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Teatru Manoel (@teatru.manoel) At Manoel Theatre, as a performer of elocution and audio theater for the longest time, I had goosebumps. I was standing at the oldest working theater in Europe.  The wrap-around gallery was the highlight of the building, and I attended an opera performance by none other than Joseph Calleja.  Also, if you want to explore the grand architecture of Manoel Theatre, you can do so every Tuesday. During the summer months, the tours are conducted between 10:30 AM and 12 PM, and during the winter months, these tours continue from 11 AM to 3 PM. Tickets are available at 20.00 €.  11. Trying Local Food  Many people call Maltese ftira a "type of pizza." However, very few people know that it is a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, with a history dating back to the 16th century, when it was first prepared in the ovens of the Knights of St. John.  Furthermore, it is a chosen food because of its versatile fillings and its role as an identity of Valletta and, by extension, of Malta. I also loved the coffee here. It was my best companion while taking a stroll across the roads. Furthermore, if you are in Valletta, don't miss the Lampuki Pie or the signature fish pie.  How To Reach And Move Around Valletta? Valletta is well-connected to the world through the Malta International Airport. It is around 9 km away from Valletta, and the short drive took me close to 20 minutes. I took the bus to the City Centre.  You can also book a shuttle in advance or take a taxi.  The city has a well-connected bus route, and it is a small city that you can cover on foot. However, the transport options are island-specific. You can take a Talinja Card or Flex Card for exploring Valletta and Malta.  Also, you can take a ferry service to the Grand Harbour of Valletta to and from Gozo and the Three Cities. You will even get a ferry service from Sliema to St. Paul's in Valletta. Insider Tip:  I picked the "Gozo Standard Add-On" card for my day trip. I didn't have the time for so many trips. But you can use this add-on to enjoy unlimited tours to Gozo Island.  What Is The Best Time To Visit Valletta? March to May and September to early November are the best seasons to visit Valletta. Valletta has so many historic landmarks and outdoor spaces. The temperature in the early 20s in these months offers you the ideal chance to explore Valletta.  Also, the crowd is quite manageable in these months.  Valletta, At A Glance: Why Does Valletta Offer Such A Rich Experience? The best thing about Valletta is how compact it is! By compact, I mean it has a big heart, accommodating the best museums, well-preserved Baroque architecture, the Grand Harbour, stone walls, and stories.  From the stories of a 16th-century ghost to being the backdrop of many spy thrillers, such as "The Secrets of Malta" by Cecily Blench, and historical novels such as "The Hidden Palace" by Dinah Jefferies, have added stories to each key attraction of the city.  Also, the stories of the city's sustenance during World War II and the Great Siege by the Ottoman Turks in 1565 tell us about human resilience.  Location-wise, this Fortress City, with a soft honey hue, stands on the ocean. It is also the dream of a photographer with the Baroque architecture reaching the sky.  Despite being only 1 kilometer long and 600 meters wide, the city of Valletta is very compact, housing many museums, cobblestones, and architecture, and it became the "European Cultural Capital in 2018.  Valletta is very close to the famous Three Cities. These cities are Cospicua, Senglea, and Vittoriosa. The Grand Harbour separates these cities from Valletta.  Valletta was built by the Knights of St. John in 1565 after the Great Siege of Malta. It was one of the best fortified cities in Europe and was built in a very short span. The city got its name from Jean Parisot de La Valette, who was the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John. Where To Stay In Valletta? When in Valletta, you must choose a hotel with an amazing rooftop view. The Embassy Valletta Hotel and Palazzo Ignazio are some of the best options to stay in.  The best areas for finding a hotel are the Valletta City Centre, Floriana, The Three Cities, etc.  The hotel charges will be around 300-500 Euros.  Is Valletta Really Worth It? An Honest Confession About The City  Yes, Valletta is a European Capital City with so many historic, religious, and cultural elements. This UNESCO World Heritage Site also has many stories, like the Great Siege of Malta or the attacks of World WW2.  However, the remnants of the British Colonial Rule, like the telephone booths and post boxes, were sore to my eyes and they are a mismatch with the beautiful Baroque architecture and century-old buildings.  Also, it is hard to find a quiet place in Valletta. So, that can be a problem for a solo traveler. Still, the great food and historic thrill of the city make it really worth it! Even if you are in the city for one day, you can enjoy a stroll around the City Square and at least explore the St. John's Co-Cathedral to enjoy a slice of Maltese life.

There, you have the bustling Manhattan Beach and the different communities within the San Gabriel Valley, like Alhambra, Monterey Park, and others.

Therefore, if you are visiting Los Angeles, do not think you can easily hover from one part of the city to another, meaning you will not find metro systems on the west side, except for St. Monica.  Read Also… Save Money On Your Next Trip How To Make The Most Of Your Trip To Rome How Do I Keep My Child Occupied When Traveling?
