Grand Harbour

Grand Harbour, a natural inlet along the eastern edge of the Valletta peninsula, has served as a key port for centuries. This strategic waterway divides the fortified capital of Valletta from the Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua. As Malta’s main maritime gateway, it bustles with activity, offering visitors a glimpse into the island’s rich maritime history. Today, the harbour is a vibrant hub where you can observe the comings and goings of various vessels, from traditional fishing boats to modern cruise ships, all set against the backdrop of historic fortifications and picturesque waterfronts.
