Discovering Malta’s Most Photogenic Spots
The first time I visited Malta back in 2018, I nearly dropped my camera into the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon. I was so mesmerized by the surreal blue hues that I forgot I was standing precariously close to the edge of a boat. Seven visits later, I still get that same breathtaking feeling at many spots around this Mediterranean gem – though I’ve learned to keep a better grip on my equipment!
Malta might be tiny, but this archipelago packs a serious visual punch that makes it an Instagram dream come true. Between the honey-colored limestone buildings, dramatic cliffs, azure waters, and streets that look like they’ve jumped straight out of Game of Thrones (because many actually were filming locations), it’s impossible to take a bad photo here.
In this guide, I’m sharing the most spectacular Instagrammable places in Malta that I’ve discovered over my many visits, including some hidden gems that even my Maltese friends don’t know about. I’ll tell you exactly when to visit each spot for the best lighting, how to avoid the crowds, and where to stand for those perfect angles that will make your followers swoon.
Valletta: The Postcard-Perfect Capital
Malta’s capital is so photogenic it almost feels unfair to other cities. This UNESCO World Heritage site is where I spend most of my time taking photos when I visit – its density of beautiful spots is simply unmatched.
Upper Barrakka Gardens & Saluting Battery
The panoramic harbor views from Upper Barrakka Gardens make this my go-to spot for sunset photos. The golden light hitting the Three Cities across the harbor creates a magical backdrop that makes even amateur photographers look like pros.
Insider Tip: Arrive 30 minutes before the daily noon cannon firing at the Saluting Battery for a prime photography spot. Most tourists show up just minutes before, but getting there early means you can capture the preparation and get the perfect position.
The gardens themselves, with their arched colonnades and classical statues, offer fantastic framing opportunities against that spectacular harbor backdrop.
Republic Street & Colorful Balconies
Walking down Republic Street, Valletta’s main thoroughfare, I’m always drawn to the traditional Maltese wooden balconies that pop with color against the honey-colored limestone buildings. For the best shots:
- Visit early morning (around 7am) when the streets are empty and the light is soft
- Look up to spot balconies painted in vibrant blues, reds, and greens
- Use Strait Street and St. Ursula Street for particularly photogenic rows of balconies
I once spent an entire morning just photographing different balconies around Valletta and ended up with a collection that became one of my most-liked Instagram series ever.
St. John’s Co-Cathedral
The exterior of St. John’s Co-Cathedral might seem plain, but step inside and you’ll find yourself in one of Europe’s most opulent baroque interiors. The marble floor with its colorful tombstones of knights creates a stunning pattern that looks amazing from above.
Entry costs €15 (increased from €10 in 2023), but it’s worth every cent for the photo opportunities. Visit on weekdays around 11am to avoid both the morning tour groups and the midday rush.
The cathedral opened a new viewing platform in late 2024 that offers a better angle for capturing the ornate ceiling – definitely take advantage of this if you visit!
The Breakwater Bridge & Lighthouse
This 100-meter walkway extending into the Grand Harbour offers one of my favorite perspectives of Valletta. The symmetry of the bridge leading to the small lighthouse makes for a compelling composition, especially at sunrise when the city is bathed in golden light.
I nearly got soaked here during my second visit when I underestimated how high the waves can splash during windy days. Learn from my mistake: check the weather forecast and avoid this spot on days with strong easterly winds!
The Blue Lagoon: Malta’s Azure Paradise
No Instagram feed featuring Malta is complete without the mesmerizing blue waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island. This small cove between Comino and the islet of Cominotto features some of the clearest, most vibrantly blue water I’ve ever seen.
Money-saving hack: Rather than booking an expensive tour to Blue Lagoon (€35-45), take the regular ferry from Ċirkewwa to Comino for just €13 round-trip. The boats run regularly from April through October and you’ll have more flexibility with your time.
Best Times & Angles
The Blue Lagoon gets extremely crowded from June through August. After several visits in different seasons, I’ve found that:
- May and late September offer the perfect balance of good weather and fewer crowds
- Arrive before 9am or after 4pm for the best experience
- The view from the rocky hill on the north side of the lagoon offers the most spectacular aerial perspective
- Bring an underwater camera/phone case – the underwater visibility is amazing
A new visitor management system was implemented in 2024 that limits the number of daily visitors. This means you should book your ferry ticket at least 2-3 days in advance during peak season.
Mdina: The Silent City
Walking through the ancient gates of Mdina feels like stepping into another century. This former capital of Malta, with its narrow winding streets and medieval architecture, offers endless photography opportunities.
Mdina Gate & City Walls
The impressively grand Mdina Gate is the most photographed entrance in Malta, and for good reason. I’ve found two perfect spots for capturing it:
- From the small bridge leading to the gate for a frontal view
- From inside the city looking back for a silhouette effect (especially beautiful at sunset)
The sandy limestone glows a magical orange-gold color during the “golden hour” right before sunset, transforming even simple snapshots into something special.
Bastion Square Viewpoint
This small square on the northern walls of Mdina offers a sweeping panorama of northern Malta that’s perfect for landscape photography. On clear days, you can see all the way to the distant Selmun Palace.
I accidentally discovered this spot during my first trip when I was desperately seeking shade on a hot afternoon. Now I make a point to visit at sunset whenever I’m in Malta – watching the shadows lengthen across the island while perched on these ancient walls is a meditative experience.
St. Paul’s Cathedral Square
The baroque façade of St. Paul’s Cathedral creates a stunning backdrop in this intimate square. For the best photos:
- Visit early morning (before 9am) when you might have the square completely to yourself
- Use the ornate lamp posts to frame your shot
- Look for the unique perspectives through archways leading into the square
Many Game of Thrones scenes were filmed in and around Mdina, so fans of the show might recognize some locations. The area near St. Paul’s Cathedral was used for scenes set in King’s Landing.
Gozo’s Natural Wonders
Malta’s sister island of Gozo offers a more rugged, untamed beauty that contrasts beautifully with Malta’s architectural elegance. Taking the 25-minute ferry from Ċirkewwa to Gozo feels like traveling to a different country altogether – the pace is slower, the landscapes more dramatic.
Ramla Bay’s Red Sands
The distinctively orange-red sands of Ramla Bay create a striking contrast with the blue Mediterranean waters. I’ve visited beaches all around the Mediterranean, but none have this unique color that makes for truly distinctive photos.
For the most dramatic shots, climb the hill on the western side of the bay. From this elevated position, you can capture the entire curved beach with its gradient of red sand meeting blue water. The hike takes about 20 minutes and is moderate in difficulty.
Ta’ Pinu Basilica
Rising dramatically from the countryside, the Ta’ Pinu Basilica is a photographer’s dream, especially in spring when the surrounding fields bloom with wildflowers. The basilica’s isolated position allows for photos that capture both the impressive structure and the rolling Gozitan countryside.
The interior is equally photogenic, with beautiful mosaic work completed in 2022 that adds vibrant color to the otherwise austere space.
Look for the small side door on the eastern side of the church – it frames a perfect view of the countryside and makes for uniquely composed shots.
Xlendi Bay & Cliffs
This small fishing village transformed into a resort area offers spectacular cliff views and crystal-clear waters. The winding staircase carved into the cliffside on the south side of the bay creates a fantastic leading line for photographs.
I once spent a stormy afternoon here watching massive waves crash against the cliffs – the dramatic weather created moody, atmospheric photos completely different from the typical sunny Mediterranean shots.
Local phrase: When asking for directions in Gozo, locals might tell you “Mur dritt!” (pronounced “moor dreet”) which means “Go straight!” This has saved me countless times when navigating the winding roads.
Location | Best Time for Photos | Crowd Level | Special Features |
---|---|---|---|
Ramla Bay | Late afternoon (4-6pm) | Moderate | Red sand, clear water |
Ta’ Pinu Basilica | Morning (9-11am) | Low | Isolated location, dramatic architecture |
Xlendi Bay | Sunset (varies by season) | High (summer evenings) | Cliff staircases, crystal waters |
Marsaxlokk Fishing Village
The colorful fishing boats (luzzu) of Marsaxlokk create one of Malta’s most iconic scenes. These traditional boats, painted in bright yellows, blues, reds, and greens, all feature the protective “Eye of Osiris” on their bows – a tradition dating back to Phoenician times.
The Perfect Harbor Shot
For the quintessential Marsaxlokk photo with dozens of colorful boats lined up, head to the eastern end of the harbor promenade near St. Peter’s Pool. From this angle, you can capture the boats with the village and church in the background.
I’ve found that visiting on Sunday mornings during the famous fish market creates the most lively, authentic photos – but be prepared for crowds. If you prefer a calmer scene, Wednesday mornings offer good light with far fewer people.
Colorful Door Details
Beyond the harbor, Marsaxlokk’s village streets offer charming details like brightly painted doors, traditional tile work, and quirky religious shrines built into house facades. I’ve collected dozens of photos of these colorful doors over my visits – each one tells its own story.
Wander the back streets away from the tourist-heavy harbor area to find these photogenic details without other visitors getting in your shot.
The Three Cities: Authentic Malta
Across the Grand Harbour from Valletta lie the Three Cities of Vittoriosa (Birgu), Senglea, and Cospicua. Less touristy than other parts of Malta, these historic peninsulas offer authentic street scenes and harbor views that feel more genuinely Maltese.
Senglea Gardens & Watchtower
The tiny garden at the tip of Senglea peninsula contains one of my favorite photo spots in all of Malta – the famous watchtower with its oversized carved eye and ear, symbolizing vigilance. From here, you can frame perfect shots of Valletta across the harbor, especially beautiful during the golden hour.
This spot somehow remains relatively unknown to most tourists, making it perfect for unobstructed photos. I’ve spent entire evenings here just watching the changing light on Valletta’s bastions across the water.
Vittoriosa’s Narrow Streets
The medieval streets of Vittoriosa (locally known as Birgu) offer some of the most authentic street photography opportunities in Malta. The narrow alleys with their traditional door knockers, religious niches, and washing hung between buildings create a scene that hasn’t changed much in centuries.
The streets around St. Lawrence’s Church are particularly photogenic, with atmospheric lighting and interesting architectural details at every turn.
Insider money-saving tip: Instead of taking an expensive harbor cruise (€20+), use the traditional dghajsa water taxi to cross from Valletta to the Three Cities for just €2 each way. You’ll get similar views of the harbor fortifications while traveling like a local.
Popeye Village: From Movie Set to Instagram Favorite
Built as a film set for the 1980 musical “Popeye” starring Robin Williams, this collection of rustic wooden buildings tucked into Anchor Bay has become one of Malta’s most distinctive photo locations. The colorful village against the striking blue waters creates an almost surreal scene that’s perfect for Instagram.
Best Viewpoints
While you can pay the entrance fee (€14.50 in 2024, up from €12.50 in 2023) to photograph inside the village, I’ve found that the best shots are actually from the cliffside viewpoint above the site. To find it:
- Walk past the main entrance
- Continue up the road about 200 meters
- Look for a small dirt path leading toward the cliff edge
- Follow this path for the perfect elevated view of the entire village and bay
The late afternoon light (3-5pm) creates the most vivid contrast between the blue water, colorful buildings, and surrounding landscape.
I made the mistake of visiting midday during my first trip – the harsh sunlight created unflattering shadows and washed-out colors. My photos from a later visit during the golden hour were dramatically better.
Dingli Cliffs: Dramatic Natural Scenery
Rising 253 meters above sea level, the Dingli Cliffs on Malta’s western coast offer the most dramatic natural landscapes on the main island. The sheer drop to the Mediterranean creates a sense of vastness that’s difficult to capture but breathtaking when you do.
St. Mary Magdalene Chapel
This tiny isolated chapel perched near the cliff edge creates the perfect focal point for landscape photos. Try these compositions:
- Frame the chapel against the blue sea horizon
- Capture it with the dramatic cliff drop in the foreground
- Use the winding cliff path as a leading line toward the structure
For a truly special experience, visit during a full moon. The moonlight illuminating the cliffs and chapel creates an ethereal scene that few visitors ever witness. I spent a magical evening here during my third trip to Malta, and the photos I captured remain among my favorites.
The smell of wild thyme and the sound of the distant waves crashing far below add sensory dimensions that make this spot particularly memorable.
The Hidden Gems: Secret Photo Spots
After seven visits to Malta, I’ve discovered some lesser-known spots that offer stunning photo opportunities away from the crowds. These places require a bit more effort to reach but reward you with unique images that won’t fill everyone else’s Instagram feed.
Għar Lapsi Natural Pool
This small rocky cove on Malta’s southwestern coast features a natural pool with some of the clearest water I’ve seen anywhere on the islands. The surrounding rock formations create natural frames for photos, and the blue-green water provides a stunning contrast.
Visit in the early morning (before 9am) when the water is calmest and the light has a magical quality. The rocky path down can be slippery, so wear proper shoes – I learned this the hard way when I nearly slid into the water during my first visit!
Wied il-Għasri (Gozo)
This narrow sea inlet carved between towering cliffs on Gozo’s northern coast requires a steep descent via a staircase carved into the rock, but the payoff is worth it. The narrow canyon opening to the sea creates dramatic light effects and offers unique swimming and photography opportunities.
I’ve found that visiting around midday (11am-1pm) when the sun is directly overhead allows light to penetrate all the way into the canyon, illuminating the emerald waters.
Sustainability tip: Malta has been facing serious water shortages, especially during summer months. Save money and resources by refilling a water bottle rather than buying plastic ones. Most restaurants will happily refill your bottle for free if you ask politely with “Tista’ timliha, jekk jogħġbok?” (Can you fill this, please?).
Coral Lagoon (near Mellieħa)
This hidden natural pool is accessed via a somewhat challenging hike from Armier Bay or by boat from Mellieħa Bay. The sinkhole-like formation creates an incredible circular lagoon with electric blue waters, perfect for dramatic aerial-style photos shot from the surrounding cliffs.
The spot has gained popularity in recent years through Instagram, but it’s still relatively uncrowded if you visit outside July-August. For the best experience, arrive before 10am when tour boats start appearing.
Urban Photo Walks: Streetscapes & Details
Beyond the famous landmarks, Malta’s towns and villages offer incredible opportunities for street photography and architectural detail shots that capture the essence of Maltese life.
Sliema Promenade & Art Deco Buildings
Walking along Sliema’s seaside promenade offers a contrast between traditional Maltese buildings and elegant Art Deco structures from the early 20th century. The streets running perpendicular to the waterfront (particularly around Tower Road and Rudolph Street) contain some extraordinary examples of Art Deco architecture with distinctive geometric patterns and decorative elements.
The afternoon light (3-5pm) casts interesting shadows that highlight the architectural details of these unique buildings.
Floriana’s Hidden Gardens
Just outside Valletta’s city walls, Floriana contains several beautiful yet surprisingly empty gardens perfect for tranquil photography. The most photogenic include:
- Sa Maison Garden – with its unusual terraced levels and harbor views
- Argotti Botanical Gardens – featuring exotic plants and classical statuary
These gardens are particularly beautiful in spring (March-May) when many plants are flowering. I’ve spent peaceful mornings photographing these spaces without seeing another tourist.
Birżebbuġa Fishing Huts
The colorful boat houses carved into the rock face at Pretty Bay in Birżebbuġa create a unique visual that’s different from typical Maltese scenes. These humble structures with their brightly painted doors and quirky decorations tell stories of the island’s fishing traditions.
The juxtaposition of these traditional structures against the massive cranes of the nearby Freeport creates interesting contrasts between old and new Malta.
Nighttime Photography: Malta After Dark
Malta’s historic sites take on a magical quality after dark when carefully designed lighting accentuates architectural features and creates dramatic shadows. Night photography here offers a completely different perspective on familiar locations.
Valletta Fortifications by Night
The honey-colored bastions surrounding Valletta are beautifully illuminated after sunset, creating dramatic reflections in the harbor waters. For the best night shots:
- Set up at Sliema Ferries around 20-30 minutes after sunset for the perfect “blue hour” light
- Use a small tripod for long exposures that capture the city lights and their reflections
- Include the traditional dghajsa water taxis in your frame for scale and local character
In 2024, Valletta implemented new programmable LED lighting along the fortifications that changes colors for special events and holidays, creating even more photographic possibilities.
Mdina by Lamplight
The narrow streets of Mdina, lit only by traditional lanterns after dark, create an atmospheric setting that feels genuinely medieval. The limited artificial lighting creates pools of warm light amid deep shadows – challenging but rewarding for photography.
I’ve found that using a fast lens (f/1.8 or wider) allows you to capture these atmospheric scenes without a tripod. Focus on the interesting patterns created by the lamplight on the ancient stone walls.
A mistake I made: During my second trip, I attempted night photography in Mdina using only my smartphone. The results were disappointing due to the extreme contrast between light and shadow. If you’re serious about night photography here, bring a proper camera with manual controls and a fast lens.
Seasonal Photo Opportunities
Malta’s appearance changes dramatically with the seasons, offering different photographic opportunities throughout the year. After experiencing the islands in every season, here are my recommendations for seasonal specialties:
Spring Wildflowers (March-May)
In spring, Malta’s countryside erupts with wildflowers, creating colorful carpets across the otherwise rocky landscape. The best locations for wildflower photography include:
- The fields around Dingli Cliffs
- Majjistral Nature Park near Golden Bay
- The countryside around Mġarr on Malta’s western side
The contrast between bright red poppies, yellow crown daisies, and the blue sea in the background creates stunning compositions unique to this season.
Village Festas (June-September)
Each town and village celebrates its patron saint with elaborate festas during summer. These celebrations transform streets with decorations, colored lights, processions, and fireworks – creating incredible photo opportunities.
The most visually spectacular festas include:
- St. Peter & St. Paul Festa in Nadur, Gozo (June 29)
- St. Dominic Festa in Valletta (early August)
- Santa Marija in Victoria, Gozo (August 15)
The combination of ornate church decorations, street illuminations, band processions, and fireworks provides endless photographic opportunities that showcase Maltese cultural traditions.
Stormy Winter Seas (December-February)
Winter brings dramatic storms that create powerful wave displays along Malta’s northern and western coasts. For dramatic seascape photography, visit:
- Sliema promenade during northeasterly winds (Grigal)
- Qawra point when northwesterly winds (Majjistral) are blowing
- St. Thomas Bay during southeasterly storms (Xlokk)
Always maintain a safe distance from the shoreline during storms – those powerful waves can be unpredictable and dangerous. I once got completely soaked at Sliema when an unexpected wave crashed over the promenade!
Season | Special Photography Subjects | Best Locations | Challenges |
---|---|---|---|
Spring (Mar-May) | Wildflowers, green landscapes, clear air | Dingli, Majjistral, countryside | Occasional wind, variable weather |
Summer (Jun-Sep) | Village festas, beach life, azure waters | Various villages, Blue Lagoon, beaches | Harsh midday light, crowds |
Autumn (Oct-Nov) | Dramatic clouds, uncrowded sites | Coastal areas, historic sites | Increasing chance of rain |
Winter (Dec-Feb) | Stormy seas, moody skies, green countryside | Northern/western coasts, rural areas | Shorter days, unpredictable weather |
Capturing Your Perfect Maltese Moments: Action Plan
After seven visits and countless photos, I’ve developed a system for making the most of Malta’s incredible photogenic locations. Here’s my 5-step action plan to help you capture stunning images during your visit:
1. Plan Around the Light
Malta’s southern Mediterranean location means intense sunlight, especially in summer. Schedule your photography around the golden hours:
- Early morning (6-8am) for soft light and empty locations
- Late afternoon to sunset (5-8pm, varies by season) for warm golden light
- Use midday hours for indoor locations or for capturing the vibrant blue waters at beaches
I’ve created better photos in 30 minutes of good light than in hours of harsh midday sun. Don’t waste the golden hours on indoor activities or meals!
2. Incorporate Local Elements
Make your photos distinctively Maltese by including:
- Traditional luzzu fishing boats with their protective “Eyes of Osiris”
- Maltese balconies with their distinctive enclosed wooden designs
- The warm honey-colored limestone that defines Maltese architecture
- Traditional door knockers (“il-ħabbata”) shaped like dolphins, lions, or hands
These authentic details will make your photos instantly recognizable as Maltese rather than generic Mediterranean scenes.
3. Explore Beyond the Obvious
For every famous spot, look for alternative angles or nearby hidden gems:
- Walk one street behind the main tourist areas
- Climb to higher vantage points (Malta has many accessible rooftops and terraces)
- Explore early or late when different lighting reveals new perspectives
Some of my most popular photos came from simply walking 5 minutes beyond where most tourists stop.
4. Balance Your Time
Malta rewards both planned and spontaneous photography:
- Schedule 2-3 specific “photo walks” focused entirely on photography
- Allow time for unexpected discoveries
- Revisit favorite locations at different times for varied lighting conditions
I typically plan one dedicated photo session each morning and one at sunset, with flexible exploration in between.
5. Engage with Locals
Some of my best photo opportunities came through conversations with Maltese residents:
- Ask permission before photographing people or private property
- Learn a few phrases in Maltese – it opens doors and creates goodwill
- Chat with locals about hidden photo spots – they often know viewpoints tourists miss
The phrase “Kemm hi sabiħa!” (How beautiful!) has started many conversations that led to photography tips from proud locals.
Money-saving insider tip: Rather than buying expensive mobile data, download the “Malta Free WiFi” app which shows all 300+ free public WiFi hotspots throughout the islands. This lets you post your Instagram photos while saving €20-30 on a data package.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit Malta for photography?
For optimal photography conditions, visit Malta during the shoulder seasons: mid-April to early June or mid-September to late October. These periods offer ideal conditions with:
- Softer, more flattering light than the harsh summer sun
- Comfortable temperatures (18-25°C) for exploring
- Significantly fewer tourists at major photo locations
- Lower accommodation costs (30-40% less than peak summer)
- Spring wildflowers (April-May) or dramatic cloud formations (October)
I’ve visited in every season, and these shoulder months consistently provided the best photographic experiences.
What camera equipment should I bring to Malta?
Malta’s diverse photographic opportunities call for versatile equipment:
- A wide-angle lens (16-35mm equivalent) for architecture and landscapes
- A medium zoom (24-70mm equivalent) for general photography
- Polarizing filter to enhance the blue skies and reduce reflections on water
- A small, portable tripod for low-light and long exposure shots
- Waterproof case or bag protection (especially near seaspray areas)
While professional equipment helps, I’ve seen stunning photos taken with just smartphones. The key is being in the right place at the right time with the right light.
Are there any restrictions on photography in Malta?
Most outdoor areas are open for photography, but be aware of these restrictions:
- Many churches and museums prohibit tripods and flash photography inside
- Military installations and certain government buildings restrict photography
- Commercial photography may require permits in some locations
- Always respect privacy when photographing people or private homes
In 2024, new rules were implemented at several popular sites including St. John’s Co-Cathedral and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum that further restrict photography. Check current regulations before visiting.
How do I avoid crowds at popular Instagram spots?
Based on my experience, these strategies work best for crowd-free photos:
- Visit major sites at opening time (typically 8:00 or 9:00am)
- Photograph Valletta and Mdina on Sunday mornings when most locals are at church
- Visit the Blue Lagoon and popular beaches on weekdays rather than weekends
- Travel in May or October when tourist numbers are 40-50% lower than peak season
- Be patient and wait for brief gaps between tour groups (they typically stay 10-15 minutes)
I’ve found early mornings to be the most reliable strategy – I’ve had places like Upper Barrakka Gardens completely to myself at 7am, even in August.
Is Malta expensive for photographers?
Malta offers excellent value for photographers compared to other European destinations:
- Most outdoor photography locations are free to access
- Public transportation is affordable (€2 per bus journey with a 2-hour transfer window)
- The 7-day unlimited travel card costs €21 and covers both Malta and Gozo
- Many spectacular viewpoints require no entrance fee
Your main costs will be accommodation and paid attractions like St. John’s Co-Cathedral (€15) or Ħaġar Qim Temples (€10).
How can I get to Gozo for photography?
Gozo is essential for comprehensive Malta photography. To get there:
- Take a bus to Ċirkewwa ferry terminal (routes 41, 42, X1, X2)
- Board the Gozo Channel ferry (runs every 45 minutes, more frequently in summer)
- The ferry costs €4.65 round-trip for foot passengers
- The journey takes 25 minutes each way
For photography, I recommend staying at least one night in Gozo to capture both evening and morning light. Victoria (Rabat) makes the most practical base with good bus connections to photogenic locations.
