Valletta is one of Europe's smallest and most beautiful capital cities — a dense grid of baroque palaces, churches, and fortifications packed into a tiny peninsula. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site it attracts a mix of cultural tourists, boutique hotel guests, and an increasingly fashionable residential community. Apartments here tend to be historic conversions with high ceilings, character, and sea views. The government district and creative industries have been reinvigorating the capital over the past decade.
