Valletta is the capital of Malta and has only about 7000 inhabitants. It is located along the central eastern coastline and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980 because of its Baroque character combined with other building style elements. Valletta has a natural harbour where cruiseships can dock and apart from tourists from the ships, many people visit Valletta while on a package holiday in one of Malta's many hotels. The city boasts an enormous collection of churches, palaces, museums and squares which keep you busy for days if you are very interested in history and culture.
