An archipelago in the Mediterranean, Malta and its neighboring islands Gozo and Comino enjoy year-round sunshine. English is spoken there as well as Maltese, and it's a safer and far less crowded place than mainland Europe. The Euro (€/EUR) is the currency of Malta. The capital, Valletta, was founded in the sixteenth century by the Knights of St. John and is highly known for both its historical significance and its well-preserved Baroque architecture. Enjoy diving into the Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino for a thrilling taste of Maltese adventure. Snorkelers and swimmers will find nirvana in this breathtaking natural wonder, known for its majestic limestone cliffs and crystal-clear blue seas.
