Last updated on 8 April 2025
A true haven of peace, the Grand Harbour is a port located in the city of Vittoriosa, in Valletta, the capital of the island of Malta. It is the scene of numerous Maltese cultural events, but also an unmissable place with many historical sites to discover: palaces, fortifications, churches, etc. Its fabulous landscape is a wonderful adornment to this jewel of Malta, which promises a pleasant stay for the whole family.
A journey back in time awaits you
The port of Grand Harbour can be seen in the town of Vittoriosa, a town rebuilt on the initiative of the Knights of Malta. The locality is full of historical sites, such as the Inquisitor's palace, dating from the end of the 16th century. This palace was the residence of the third most important person in Malta, after the Grand Master and the bishop. A visit to the Auberges d'Angleterre, d'Aron, de France and de Provence also promises some nice surprises from a historical point of view. The various languages of Malta were established there.
A stroll through the narrow streets of Vittoriosa is sure to surprise you with the different languages that can be heard. Art lovers should take a look at St. Lawrence's Church, famous for its magnificent masterpieces created by Maltese artists. Don't miss the maritime museum near the marina. It will tell you the story of the Order of Malta's navy and the Royal Navy.
Have fun at Grand Harbour
But the port of Grand Harbour also has its share of surprises in store for you. By opting for a yacht charter (sailboat, motorboat, catamaran, etc.) in Grand Harbour, you will be able to admire a completely different landscape. You can really appreciate the magnificent view over the bay of Valletta and feel the light breeze caressing your cheeks. One of Malta's most famous traditions takes place on the Grand Harbour every April. The Malta International Fireworks Festival is an opportunity to share joy with the Maltese.
The festival originated in the era of the Knights of St. John. Fireworks expressed joy and good humor during the election of an eminent figure such as a Grand Master, a pope or the birth of a prince.
