Top 10 attractions in St. Paul's Bay
Old Mint Street
Old Mint Streetis a narrow, steep street in the old town of Valletta, the capital of Malta, stretching from the city gate down the slope toward the sea. The "Mint" in the street name is a literal translation of the English word "mint," which actually refers not to the herb, but to the minting workshop established on this street during the time of the Knights Hospitaller. In Maltese, it is still called "Mint Street" today. The street is lined with old houses built of honey-colored limestone, with colorful enclosed wooden balconies cantilevered from the walls. The red, green, and blue paint against the warm yellow walls creates one of the most recognizable streetscapes in Valletta.Valletta · 11 km from St. Paul's Bay
Upper Barrakka
Upper Barrakkais located on the ramparts of Valletta overlooking the Grand Harbour, built on the top tier of the St. Peter and St. Paul Bastion. The garden's seaside colonnade was built in 1661, commissioned by the Italian knights of the Order of St. John; originally covered, it was later converted into the open-air style seen today. Walk along the row of arches to the viewing platform, where you can take in the blue waters of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities on the opposite shore; the port shipyards and the old and new streets in the lower parts of Valletta are also clearly visible. Several statues and monuments are scattered between the columns, including a replica of "Street Urchins" by Maltese sculptor Antonio Sciortino, which is worth a closer look. It is a perfect place for a leisurely stroll.Valletta · 11.3 km from St. Paul's Bay
Blue Grotto
Blue Grottois located on the southern coast of Malta and is a series of sea caves formed by years of seawater erosion, as well as one of the representatives of Malta's "Three Blues" views. The cave system consists of several chambers, and the entrance to the main cave is a natural arch tens of m high. Its name in Maltese literally translates to "under the arch." The water inside the cave is exceptionally clear. When sunlight shines into the entrance, the water surface takes on a transparent, almost sky-blue hue, while algae and marine life in the water reflect orange, purple, and green spots onto the cave walls, with light and shadow changing constantly depending on the angle of illumination.Qrendi · 13.8 km from St. Paul's Bay
Dingli Cliffs

There is a walking trail along the way to the cliff, and the surrounding scenery is also very good.Had-Dingli · 9.4 km from St. Paul's Bay

What travelers say about St. Paul's Bay

5.0
Old Mint Street, located in Valletta's Old Town, is a steep street offering views of the sea and distant church domes. The houses on both sides are built of tan limestone, some walls covered in vines, and stained-glass windows gleaming in the sunlight. The street is narrow, with little traffic, perfect for a leisurely stroll, where you might occasionally encounter locals chatting on the steps. In the evening, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows, making the street feel quiet. A little further up, the outline of Castel Saint-Elmo comes into view.

This garden in Malta covers a large area, and it is divided into the upper and lower gardens. It has a very long history. If you come to visit, you must understand its history. It covers a large area and it takes an afternoon to visit it completely.

one of the gems of Malta, must seen. You will need to get a boat ride that brings you so close and even inside the caves. Highly recommended 👌

When we were traveling in Vancouver, we came to the famous Victoria. It is very prosperous here. In Canada, where there are very few people, this place should be the most crowded. Here we also met children from the Shaolin Temple Wushu School who were praising and promoting Chinese martial arts on the street.

This is a military defense building, located next to the seaside. It is also a good place for defense in the open sea. Here you can feel many military facilities and many defensive holes.
